Description
Antiphospholipid syndrome makes blood clot too readily, and the brain pays a heavy share of the price. George Mendes and co-authors reviewed in 2024 the syndrome's neurovascular complications and how to manage them.
Stroke is the commonest such complication, usually from arterial clots. Trials still favor older vitamin K blood thinners over newer oral drugs for prevention in these patients. Clots in the brain's veins are rarer, and newer drugs there demand caution. Cognitive decline affects many patients through both clotting and non-clotting routes. The authors call for research on protecting cognition and on when immune therapy should join blood thinners.
