Treatment Targets in Intracerebral Hemorrhage

摘要

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) imparts a higher mortality and morbidity than ischemic stroke. The therapeutic interventions that are currently available focus mainly on supportive care and secondary prevention. There is a paucity of evidence to support any one acute intervention that improves functional outcome. This chapter highlights current treatment targets for ICH based on the pathophysiology of the disease.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s13311-011-0055-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
