Is there an optimal day within the first 14 days to initiate anticoagulation with a direct oral anticoagulant after atrial fibrillation–associated acute ischemic stroke?
Author: Adrienne N Dula
Dr. Dula is a biomedical engineer and neuroimaging scientist with formal training in clinical trial research (Masters of Clinical Investigation). Her research program focuses on development and translation of in vivo neuroimaging techniques with the ability to relay specific information on brain tissue anatomy, function, microstructure or biochemistry that can be implemented in the clinic. This encompasses evaluation of standard of care clinical image data to protocol development for advanced image acquisition and analysis to development of computational prognostic models.
Dr. Dula’s primary research initiative specifically involves acute ischemic stroke patient studies to directly relate hemodynamic and anatomical imaging factors to observed sex differences in severity and outcomes. Through the Women’s Imaging of Stroke Hemodynamics Study (WISHeS), her lab is identifying those factors that differentiate men and women using retrospective analyses of data from the Lone Star Stroke Research Consortium as well as close collaboration with investigators at UT Houston, Stanford, and UCLA. Lone Star Stroke also supports her multi-site trial to prospectively test whether these imaging features predict differences in initial clinical severity, 90-day clinical outcome, and response to therapy. This project has recently received complementary funding in the form of a Career Development Award from the American Heart Association.
Dr. Dula’s collaborations include acting as the Imaging Expert for the ongoing Lone Star Stroke-funded START and RESTART trials. She is also assisting in data analyses for the Lone Star Stroke study of stroke in Multiple Vascular Territories (MVT).

Dr. Warach received the prestigious David G. Sherman Lecture Award at this year’s American Heart Association’s International Stroke Conference. He delivered an amazing talk about his journey pioneering the use of imaging in stroke care. (And he even included a plug for our Code Stroke Imaging Study!) We are lucky to have Dr. Warach’s mentorship!
