Correlation between antiplatelet therapy in secondary prevention of acute cerebral infarction and cerebral microbleeds: A susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) study.

CONCLUSIONS: The number of CMBs increased significantly among ACI patients with 5 or more CMBs before the anti-platelet treatment. CMBs are more frequently found in patients with hemorrhagic stroke than in patients with ischemic stroke, and more severe than the latter, which suggests that the clinical impact of higher association between the increase of the number of the CMBs and the hemorrhagic stroke.
