Total SVD score is predictive for intracranial hemorrhage

Total small vessel disease (SVD) score was found to be predictive for intracranial hemorrhage and also probably for extracranial bleeding, report researchers from Japan in a study that was presented by Dr Kanta Tanaka at ISC 2023.

Cerebral SVD may be a predictor for bleeding in other organs as well as the brain. The aim of this study was to determine the excess risk of antithrombotic-related bleeding due to cerebral SVD burden.
