Dr. Stephan Mayer “Blood Pressure May Be Key to Brain Hemorrhage Recurrence”
People who survive a brain hemorrhage, also known as a bleeding stroke, may be at higher risk for another one if they don't control their blood pressure, a new study warns. The findings are published in the Sept. 1 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. While rarer than "blockage" type strokes that involve a clot, bleeding strokes are "the most devastating and least treatable form of stroke," according to Stephan Mayer, MD, director of neurocritical care for the Mount Sinai Health System. Dr. Mayer, who was not involved in the new study, said that "we have known for decades that untreated high blood pressure is the most important cause of bleeding into the brain." Learn more
