Performance of Framingham cardiovascular disease (CVD) predictions in the Rotterdam Study taking into account competing risks and disentangling CVD into coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke
Conclusions: Framingham CVD risk predictions perform well in the low- to intermediate risk categories in the Rotterdam Study. Disentangling CVD into CHD and stroke separately provides additional information about the individual contribution of CHD and stroke to total individual CVD risk.

Hysterectomy in young women associates with higher risk of stroke: A nationwide cohort study
Conclusions: Categorized by the patients' age at operation, the associations between hysterectomy and the risk of stroke were different. The excess risk of stroke was observed in women who had hysterectomy before 45years and remained significant even after accounting for baseline cardiovascular risk factors.

Acute kidney injury and long-term risk of stroke after coronary artery bypass surgery
This study investigated the association between AKI and long-term risk of stroke.Methods and results: 50,244 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Sweden between 2000 and 2008 were identified from the SWEDEHEART registry. After exclusions 23,584 patients without prior stroke who underwent elective, primary, isolated, CABG were included. AKI was categorized according to absolute increases in postoperative creatinine values compared with preoperative values: stage 1, 0.3–0.5mg/dL (26–44μmol/L); stage 2, 0.5–1.0mg/dL (44–88μmol/L); and stage 3,>1.0mg/dL (≥88μmol/L). Cox proportional haz...

Stroke symptoms and risk for incident coronary heart disease in the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study
Many adults without cerebrovascular disease report a history of stroke symptoms, which is associated with higher risk for stroke. Because stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) share many risk factors, we examined the association between a history of stroke symptoms and incident CHD.

Shared and non-shared familial susceptibility of coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke, peripheral artery disease and aortic disease
Abstract: Background: Little is known about whether the four main manifestations of arterial vascular disease (coronary heart disease=CHD, ischemic stroke, peripheral artery disease=PAD, and aortic (i.e. atherosclerosis/aneurysm) disease=AD) share familial susceptibility. The aim of this nationwide study was to determine the familial risks of concordant (same disease in proband and exposed relative) and discordant (different disease in proband and exposed relative) cardiovascular disease (CVD).Methods: Data from the Swedish Multigeneration Register on individuals aged 0–76years were linked to Swedish Hospital Discharge R...

A Comparison of Stroke and Coronary Risks in Chinese and American
The Chinese multi-provincial cohort study shows that the Framingham coronary risk prediction model systematically overestimates Chinese risk by more than two times, which means that, when at the same levels of traditional risk factors, coronary risk is much higher in American than Chinese [1]. Unlike American, stroke is much more prevalent than coronary heart disease (CHD) in Chinese [2]. In order to test whether cardiovascular risk (stroke risk plus CHD risk) was also lower in Chinese than American, this study compared Chinese and American cardiovascular risks.

What is the association of lipid levels and incident stroke?
The association between lipid levels and stroke rates is less than lipid levels and coronary heart disease (CHD)ObjectiveTo assess if there are geographic, racial, and ethnic differences in total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) and triglyceride levels with incident stroke.

Drug adherence and the incidence of coronary heart disease- and stroke-specific mortality among 218,047 patients newly prescribed an antihypertensive medication: A five-year cohort study
This study evaluates the association between antihypertensive adherence and cardiovascular (coronary heart disease and stroke) mortality in the primary care settings.Methods: From a territory-wide database in Hong Kong, we included all patients who were prescribed their first-ever antihypertensive agents in the years between 2001 and 2005 from the public healthcare sector. All patients were followed up for five years, and assigned as having poor (Proportion of Days Covered [PDC]

Risk of coronary heart disease and risk of stroke in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), one of the commonest endocrine conditions in the human, are more likely than other women to have increased blood pressure, endothelial dysfunction, reduced arterial compliance, central obesity, dyslipidaemia, low grade chronic inflammation, and increased endothelin-1 and homocysteine [1]. A recent meta-analysis found an increased incidence of cardiovascular events in women with PCOS, but did not distinguish between coronary heart disease and stroke and did not consider fatal and non-fatal events separately [2].

Hypertension in pregnancy and risk of coronary heart disease and stroke: a prospective study in a large UK cohort
We examined the prospective relation between a history of hypertension during pregnancy and coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke in middle-aged UK women.Methods: In 1996 –2001, 1.1 million parous women (mean age=56years) without vascular disease at baseline reported their history of hypertension during pregnancy and other factors.

Effects of early age at natural menopause on coronary heart disease and stroke in Chinese women
The objective of the study was to explore the associations between early age at natural menopause (menopause at an age ≤45 years) and the presence of CHD and stroke.

The contribution of diet and lifestyle to socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality
Conclusion: The socioeconomic distribution of diet, smoking and alcohol consumption largely explained the inequalities in CHD and stroke in the Netherlands. These findings need to be considered when developing policies to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular diseases.

Dairy intake and coronary heart disease or stroke—A population-based cohort study
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between total dairy intake and dairy subtypes (high-fat dairy, low-fat dairy, milk and milk products, cheese and fermented dairy) with incident coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke.Methods: EPIC-NL is a prospective cohort study among 33,625 Dutch men and women. At baseline (1993–1997), dairy intake was measured with a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The incidence of both fatal and non-fatal CHD and stroke was obtained by linkage to the national registers.Results: During 13years follow-up, 1648 cases of CHD and 531 cases of stroke were documented. Total dai...

Excess risk of mortality and cardiovascular events associated with smoking among patients with diabetes: Meta-analysis of observational prospective studies
Conclusion: Smoking amplified the risk of mortality as well as cardiovascular events and the effect size for CHD appeared to be higher than other events in diabetic patients. Moreover, a trend of decreasing risk was observed among smoking quitters.
