Congrats to Ken Butcher on successfully leading the ICH-ADAPT 2 RCT. Our results do not support the notion that BP lowering contributes to the majority of acute/subacute DWI lesions in patients with ICH. Alternative mechanisms need to be explored. #ISC2025

Should patients with #stroke and device-detected subclinical #AFib (SCAF) be treated with OAC?

Our subgroup analyses of the ARTESIA RCT (@thelancet.bsky.social) provide novel insights indicating that OAC is beneficial in appropriately selected patients.

Thrilled to announce that the #EnrichAF randomized trial completed enrolment of 948 patients in Q4 2024.

So grateful for the efforts of our global colleagues on reaching this milestone, who persevered despite many challenges along the way.

Follow-up is due to complete in Q1 2026. Stay tuned!
