Timing of Autopsy-Confirmed Hemorrhagic Infarction with Reference to Cardioembolic Stroke Stroke 19:1482-1484, Lodder,J.,et al, 1988 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We studied the temporal profile of hemorrhagic transformation in 34 cases with autopsy-confirmed hemorrhagic infarction who died within 15 days following a supratentorial brain infarct,provided they had undergone computed tomography.It appeared that within 4 days,at least 76%(95% confidence interval 39-100%)of 21 cardioembolic strokes had become hemorrhagic.We concluded that if anticoagulation is considered in cardioembolic stroke,such treatment should not be started sooner than at least 4 days after the onset of stroke,provided that computed tomography at that time shows no hemorrhagic infarction.
