🔥Chinese RCT shows PCSK9i in severe ICAD can reduce plaque thickness and luminal stenosis!
(No surprise, but will be useful to justify this tx for our high risk patients!!)

Are you right when it’s bright?
Bright cortex on DWI is classically anoxic injury
But mimics exist!
6 patterns
-Cortex+deep gray
-Diffuse Cortex
-Focal Cortex
-Limbic
-Deep gray
-WM
Ask 3 ?’s:
-Acute or chronic?
-Acute=metabolic & anoxic. Sz & encephalitis rarer & focal
-Chronic, think CJD
