In the study “Blood pressure reduction and noncontrast CT markers of intracerebral hemorrhage expansion,” the authors found that noncontrast CT (NCCT) could predict hematoma growth after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) but did not identify patients more likely to benefit from aggressive blood pressure control. Drs. Lattanzi and Silvestrini suggest that the authors take time to include baseline CT scan in their analysis. Drs. Morotti et al. agree that time is an important factor in ICH, noting that prehospital identification and treatment of patients with ICH may be possible using mobile stroke units equipped with NCCT. Further studies are needed to determine the imaging markers that may aid in identifying patients with ICH and how to limit hematoma expansion.
