Cerebral Microbleeds and Antiplatelet Therapy in Mongolian and Han Patients with Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease

Mongolian patients had a lower likelihood of developing CMBs than Han patients, but with a higher deep or infratentorial distribution. The presence of CMBs, especially with long-term antiplatelet therapy, is a significant predictor of ICH. No significant difference in ICH risk was found between ethnic groups. Close monitoring of patients with CMBs during prolonged antiplatelet therapy is crucial to reduce hemorrhagic events.
