Prevention of Stroke with Ticagrelor in Patients with Prior Myocardial Infarction: Insights from PEGASUS-TIMI 54 (Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Prior Heart Attack Using Ticagrelor Compared to Placebo on a Background of Aspirin-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 54).
CONCLUSIONS: High-risk patients with prior myocardial infarction are at risk for stroke, approximately one-third of which are fatal or lead to moderate-to-severe disability. The addition of ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily significantly reduced this risk without an excess of hemorrhagic stroke but with more major bleeding. In high-risk patients with coronary disease, more intensive antiplatelet therapy should be considered not only to reduce the risk of coronary events, but also of stroke.

Relationship of Familial Hypercholesterolemia and High LDL Cholesterol to Ischemic Stroke: The Copenhagen General Population Study.
Conclusions -FH and high LDL cholesterol did not confer an increased risk of ischemic stroke. A positive association with ischemic stroke observed for some clinical FH criteria and high LDL cholesterol appears to be due by previous ischemic heart disease, rather than by high LDL cholesterol per se.

Effects of Liraglutide on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With or Without History of Myocardial Infarction or Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: In this post hoc analysis of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and high cardiovascular risk, liraglutide reduced cardiovascular outcomes both in patients with a history of MI/stroke and in those with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease without MI/stroke. The cardiovascular effect appeared neutral in patients with cardiovascular risk factors alone. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov . Unique identifier: NCT01179048.

Stroke in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease: Incidence, Cumulative Risk and Predictors.
CONCLUSIONS: -Among ACHD-patients, one in eleven men and one in fifteen women suffered a stroke between age 18 and 64. Stroke-incidence was considerably higher than in the general population, especially at younger age. The most important predictors of ischemic stroke were heart failure, diabetes and recent myocardial infarction. Further research is required to see if advances in the management of ACHD may reduce this substantial stroke rate. PMID: 26597113 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Increased Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction and Stroke During Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome: A Self-Controlled Case Series Study.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a significantly increased risk for AMI and stroke in the immediate time period following HFRS. Therefore HFRS patients should be carefully monitored during the acute phase of disease to ensure early recognition of symptoms of impending AMI or stroke.

Pre-Pregnancy Obesity and Associations with Stroke and Myocardial Infarction in Women in the Years after Childbirth: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: In apparently healthy women of fertile age, obesity was associated with increased risks of ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. PMID: 24146252 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk for Myocardial Infarction and Stroke after Community-Acquired Bacteremia: A 20-Year Population-Based Cohort Study.

Predictors of Long-Term Recurrent Vascular Events after Ischemic Stroke at Young Age: The Italian Project on Stroke in Young Adults.
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with IS aged 18 to 45 years, the long-term risk of recurrent thrombotic events is associated with modifiable, age-specific, risk factors. The IPSYS score may serve as a simple tool for risk estimation. PMID: 24508827 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risks of Death and Stroke in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis With New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation: A Competing-Risk Analysis of a Nationwide Cohort.
CONCLUSIONS: -The risk of stroke was only modestly higher in patients undergoing hemodialysis with new-onset AF than in those without AF, and it became insignificant when accounting for the competing risk of in-hospital death. PMID: 26680239 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Effect of Intensive vs. Usual Blood Pressure Control on Kidney Function Among Persons With Prior Lacunar Stroke: A Post-Hoc Analysis of the SPS3 Randomized Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: -In persons with prior lacunar stroke and relatively preserved kidney function, intensive BP lowering was associated with greater likelihood of rapid kidney function decline. Differences were primarily observed during the first year of anti-hypertensive treatment. Rapid kidney function decline was not associated with increased risk for clinical events among those undergoing intensive BP lowering. Clinical Trial Registration Information-ClinicalTrials.gov.

Trends in Hospitalizations and Outcomes for Acute Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke: 1999-2011.
CONCLUSIONS: -Hospitalizations for acute cardiovascular disease and stroke from 1999 through 2011 declined more rapidly than for other conditions. For these conditions, mortality and readmission outcomes improved. PMID: 25135276 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cardiac Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke or TIA: Effects of Pioglitazone in Patients with Insulin Resistance Without Diabetes.
Conclusions -Among patients with insulin resistance without diabetes, pioglitazone reduced the risk for acute coronary syndromes after a recent cerebrovascular event. Pioglitazone appeared to have its most prominent effect in preventing spontaneous type 1 MI's.

Heart Failure After Ischemic Stroke or TIA in Insulin-Resistant Patients Without Diabetes Treated with Pioglitazone.
Conclusions -In IRIS, with surveillance and dose adjustments, pioglitazone did not increase risk of HF, and conferred net cardiovascular benefit in patients with insulin resistance and cerebrovascular disease. The risk of HF with pioglitazone was not modified by baseline HF risk. The IRIS experience may be instructive for maximizing the net benefit of this therapy.
