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...

Sex-Differences In The Incidence Of Stroke: Should We Change Our Traditional Belief?
We have read with a great interest the recent article by Arboix et al. that was published in your prestigious journal addressing the sex differences in the epidemiology of stroke in a hospital of Spain[1]. The authors reported higher rate of stroke-related risk factors like diabetes and ischemic heart disease in men and hypertension in women with stroke.

Stroke in Acquired and Congenital Heart Disease Patients and Its Relationship to Hospital Mortality and Lasting Neurologic Deficits
Objective: To describe strokes in patients with acquired or congenital heart disease and investigate risk factors for in-hospital mortality and ongoing neurologic deficits.
Design: Single-center, retrospective review of cardiac, neurologic, and radiologic patient databases.
Setting: Tertiary care children’s hospital.
Patients: All patients with acquired or congenital heart disease admitted from January 2010 to October 2014 identified with stroke.
Interventions: None.
Measurements and Main Results: Eighty-four stroke events were identified in 83 patients (median age, 5.9 mo; interquartile range, 0.8–33.4). Thirty-t...

Risk of stroke in patients with right-sided congenital heart disease and interatrial communication
The association between patent oval foramen and cryptogenic stroke has been well described. The reported rate of stroke in young adults is between 6 and 11 per 100,000 patient-years and between 50 and 147 per 100,000 patient-years in adults with congenital heart disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of stroke in a subset of patients with congenital heart disease: in patients with right-sided congenital heart disease and interatrial communication. This is a retrospective review of the clinical data from the McGill Adult Unit for Congenital Heart Disease and the Jewish General Hospital Congenital Clinic.

Risk Factors for Peri-Procedural Arterial Ischaemic Stroke in Children with Cardiac Disease
AbstractImproved survival of children with congenital heart disease has led to increasing focus on neurodevelopmental outcome, as close to half of the infants undergoing cardiac surgery are affected by neurodevelopmental disability. Stroke is particularly important as it frequently results in permanent neurologic sequelae. The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for peri-procedural arterial ischaemic stroke (AIS) in children with cardiac disease. A retrospective case –control analysis of children aged <18 years with radiologically confirmed AIS following a cardiac procedure admitted to the Royal Child...

Prescription Doses of Fish Oil May Lower Heart Attack and Stroke Risk
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fish oil, are known to be good for the heart. Studies have shown that people who eat more fish rich in these fats have lower rates of heart problems and less risk of dying from heart disease compared to those who eat less. Those data have fueled a booming business in over-the-counter fish oil supplements.
In a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and presented at the American Heart Association annual meeting, researchers report that a highly purified version of omega-3 fats, called icosapent ethyl, can lower the risk of a number of heart-related events, including hear...

Taking A Hot Bath Linked To Lower Risk Of Heart Disease And Stroke, Study Finds
(CNN) — Ending your day with a hot bath might have more benefits than just relaxation.
It could also lower your risk of heart disease and stroke, a new study finds.
Previous research on bathing has already shown that it’s beneficial for sleep quality and how healthy a person thinks they are.
A new study, published Tuesday in the journal Heart, found that a daily hot bath is also associated with a 28% lower risk of heart disease, and a 26% lower risk of stroke — likely because taking a bath is also associated with lowering your blood pressure, the researchers said.
They discovered this after tracking the b...

Hospitalizations, deaths from heart disease, stroke drop in last decade
U.S. hospitalizations and deaths from heart disease and stroke dropped significantly in the last decade, according to new research. Furthermore, risks of dying for people who went to the hospital within a year decreased about 21 percent for unstable angina, 23 percent for heart attacks and 13 percent for heart failure and stroke.

Association between leukoaraiosis and hemorrhagic transformation after cardioembolic stroke due to atrial fibrillation and/or rheumatic heart disease
Cardioembolic stroke due to atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or rheumatic heart disease (RHD) often involves hemorrhagic transformation (HT), and we examined whether leukoaraiosis (LA) was associated with HT in these cases. We prospectively enrolled 251 patients who were admitted to two hospitals within one month of experiencing cardioembolic stroke due to AF/RHD. LA severity was assessed using three visual rating scales. HT was identified in 99 patients (39.4%) based on baseline computed tomography (CT) and post-admission magnetic resonance imaging or second CT.

Studies: Low-Dose Aspirin May Not Prevent Initial Heart Attack, Stroke
Taking a low-dose aspirin every day has long been known to cut the chances of another heart attack, stroke or other heart problem in people who already have had one, but the risks don’t outweigh the benefits for most other folks, major new research finds.
Although it’s been used for more than a century, aspirin’s value in many situations is still unclear. The latest studies are some of the largest and longest to test this pennies-a-day blood thinner in people who don’t yet have heart disease or a blood vessel-related problem.
One found that aspirin did not help prevent first strokes or heart attacks...

A Non-linear Association Between Total Small Vessel Disease Score and Hemorrhagic Transformation After Ischemic Stroke With Atrial Fibrillation and/or Rheumatic Heart Disease
Background: Previous studies have investigated the association between a single marker of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) and hemorrhagic transformation (HT). However, the effect of the total SVD burden on HT has not been evaluated yet. We aimed to investigate the association between the total SVD score and HT in ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or rheumatic heart disease (RHD).
Methods: Ischemic stroke patients with AF and/or RHD admitted within 7 days after onset were enrolled at two hospitals in China. The total SVD score was based on the presence of lacunes, extensive white matter hyperin...

Daily low-dose aspirin can prevent heart attack and stroke but is often misused
Aspirin is often hailed as a wonder drug, thanks to its ability to help stave off heart attacks and clot-caused strokes. But fewer than half of people who could benefit from a daily low-dose aspirin take it, while many others take it when they shouldn't, reports the January 2014 Harvard Heart Letter.
If you don't have heart disease, but do have high blood pressure, diabetes, or other risk factors for heart disease, don't automatically assume that taking aspirin every day is a good idea. "A lot of people take aspirin who really shouldn't," says Dr. Christopher Cannon, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital and profe...
