What is the risk of ischemic stroke for survivors of ICH with AF?
The risk of ischemic stroke in people with AF is typically estimated using instruments such as the CHA2DS2-VASC score, and it seems reasonable to use this score in populations of ICH survivors. The risk of ischemic stroke with and without antithrombotic treatment must be weighed carefully against the possible increase in ICH risk associated with antithrombotic therapy.
