Loss of Penumbra by Impaired Oxygen Supply Decreasing Hemoglobin Levels Predict Infarct Growth after Acute Ischemic Stroke

Loss of Penumbra by Impaired Oxygen Supply Decreasing Hemoglobin Levels Predict Infarct Growth after Acute Ischemic Stroke

Background: The association of mortality and poor outcome with reduced levels of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) in patients admitted for ischemic stroke was recently demonstrated. The mechanisms behind this have remained unclear. Aims: Here, we aimed to investigate a putative association betwe...
