Incidence and Clinical Impact of Stroke Complicating Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Results of the Euro Heart Survey Percutaneous Coronary Interventions Registry Cardiac Catheterization
Conclusions— Stroke as complication of PCI occurs rarely (0.4%) in clinical practice in Europe today. However, peri-interventional stroke is still associated with an exceedingly high in-hospital mortality rate. Most predictors for periprocedural stroke are not modifiable and cannot be diminished before PCI. Therefore, treatment of patients with stroke after PCI needs further research.

Abstract 201: Predictors of Stroke in Hospitalized Patients with Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Poster Session II
Conclusion: Stroke develops in 8.16% of patients admitted with TTP. The independent predictors of stroke in this group of patients are age, white race, dyslipidemia, and AMI.

Anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients in clinical practice of district hospital in Poland.
CONCLUSIONS: (1). Despite of high stroke risk determined by both scales only 39% of patients received OAC. (2). In the analyzed material the independent predictive factor in this group for prescribing OAC at discharge was arterial hypertension (in accordance with recommendations) and: the younger patients age, no history of stroke/TIA and other than paroxysmal type of AF. (3). Practice of the usage of OAC and/or antiplatelet therapy in AF patients discharged from Polish district hospital was in concordance with current guidelines of ESC neither in 2006 nor 2010.

The Impact of Acute Kidney Injury on the Long-term Risk of Stroke Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease
Conclusions The patients who recovered from AKI had a higher incidence of developing incident stroke and mortality than the patients without AKI, and the impact was similar to diabetes. Our results suggest that a public health initiative is needed to enhance postdischarge follow-up of renal function and to control the subsequent incidence of stroke among patients who recover from AKI after dialysis.

Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation: Beyond the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc Score
AbstractPurpose of ReviewStroke prevention is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) management and the anticoagulation decision is currently based on CHA2DS2-VASc risk score. We discuss several novel risk factors besides those included in CHA2DS2-VASc score and alternative models for stroke prediction.Recent FindingsSeveral clinical markers including obstructive sleep apnea and renal failure, laboratory markers like brain natriuretic peptide, imaging criteria including left atrial appendage morphology, spontaneous echo contrast, and coronary artery calcium score may predict stroke in AF patients. Addition of African ...

Balancing stroke and bleeding risks in patients with atrial fibrillation and renal failure: the Swedish Atrial Fibrillation Cohort study
Conclusions Patients with both AF and renal failure will probably benefit most from having the same treatment as is recommended for other patients with AF, without setting a higher or lower threshold for treatment. Adding additional points for renal failure to the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores did not improve their predictive value.

Severe Hyperkalemia Masquerading as Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report
We report a case of a 63-year-old Caucasian woman, who was admitted to Namazi Hospital, affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (Shiraz, Iran) in August 2019. The patient suffered from left-sided weakness and slurred speech for one hour prior to admission. Initially, the patient was treated for acute ischemic stroke, and an intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV-rTPA) was prescribed. However, further investigations showed severe hyperkalemia. Hemiparesis and slurred speech improved significantly with appropriate management of hyperkalemia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case...

Is left atrial appendage closure useful for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients with renal failure?
With great interest we read the article by Kefer et al. about the impact of chronic kidney disease on left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion with the ACP device for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) [1]. We agree with the authors that stroke prevention in AF patients with chronic kidney disease is a problem due to increased bleeding complications during oral anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists. Furthermore, the use of non-vitamin K-antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) is dangerous or contraindicated in these patients.

COVID-19 induced ischemic stroke and mechanisms of viral entry in brain and clot formation: a systematic review and current update
Conclusion: Data available in the literature is not adequate to come to a conclusion. Therefore, there is a need to carry out further studies to delineate the possible association between SCV-2 induced IS.PMID:35412938 | DOI:10.1080/00207454.2022.2056460

Renal function, P-gp-affecting drugs and new anticoagulants for stroke prevention
New oral anticoagulants (NOAs), like the thrombin-inhibitor dabigatran etexilate or the factor Xa-inhibitor rivaroxaban showed similar efficacy as the vitamin-K-antagonist (VKA) warfarin for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) . One of the advantages of the NOAs, compared with VKAs, should be the lack of the necessity for laboratory monitoring and its lower rate of drug- and food interactions. The serum concentration of NOAs, however, is influenced by renal function. Furthermore, NOA-absorption is dependent on the intestinal P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-system, and P-gp activity is influenced by several dr...

Long-term effects of AST-120 on the progression and prognosis of pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease: a 5-year retrospective study
Abstract AST-120 has been used widely in Japan to slow the deterioration of renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by decreasing uremic toxins. The heart and the kidney are closely related, with cardiorenal interaction being very important. This retrospective study examined whether AST-120 influences the prevalence of dialysis induction, mortality, and cardiac and stroke events in CKD patients. The study included 278 patients diagnosed with chronic renal failure (CKD stage: III–V) in 2006. Of these patients, 128 received AST-120 (6 g/day), while the remaining 150 patients did not. A log-ra...

Sex-Related Differences in Patients Undergoing Thoracic Aortic Surgery: Evidence from the Canadian Thoracic Aortic Collaborative.
CONCLUSIONS: Women experience worse outcomes following thoracic aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest. Further investigation is required to better delineate which measures may reduce sex-related outcome differences following complex aortic surgery. PMID: 30755026 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
