AJR study associates coronavirus disease (COVID-19) with large vessel occlusion strokes
(American Roentgen Ray Society) COVID-19 is associated with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke but not small vessel occlusion stroke. After stratification for race and ethnicity, the risk of LVO stroke among patients with COVID-19 was 2.4 times as high among patients without COVID-19. Physicians should lower their suspicion threshold for LVO stroke in COVID-19 patients presenting with acute neurologic symptoms. This open-access article published in ARRS' American Journal of Roentgenology is the first to describe the association.
