Diet Drinks Linked To Increased Stroke Risk & Heart Attacks
This study, as well as other research on the connection between diet beverages and vascular disease, is observational and cannot show cause and effect. That’s a major limitation, researchers say, as it’s impossible to determine whether the association is due to a specific artificial sweetener, a type of beverage or another hidden health issue. “Postmenopausal women tend to have higher risk for vascular disease because they are lacking the protective effects of natural hormones,” North Carolina cardiologist Dr. Kevin Campbell said, which could contribute to increased risk for heart disease and stroke...

Rates and predictors of risk of stroke and its subtypes in diabetes: a prospective observational study
Conclusions Older people with a history of stroke were at highest risk of stroke, but the prognosis and prognostic factors of subtypes were heterogeneous. The results will help clinicians quantify the absolute risk of stroke and its subtypes for typical diabetes patients.

Long term risk of stroke versus acute coronary events after tia and stroke: a population-based study
Conclusion The long–term risk of major vascular events after TIA and stroke remains substantial, but about 70% of fatal and non–fatal events are now accounted for by recurrent stroke rather than acute coronary events.

Forecasting the Future of Stroke in the United States: A Policy Statement From the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association AHA/ASA Policy Statement
Conclusions— These projections suggest that the annual costs of stroke will increase substantially over the next 2 decades. Greater emphasis on implementing effective preventive, acute care, and rehabilitative services will have both medical and societal benefits. (Stroke. 2013;44:2361-2375.)

Effect of Middle Cerebral Artery Territory Ischemic Stroke on QT Interval
In this study, we investigated whether QT interval dynamics is different in patients with right and left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory stroke.Method: Electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals were compared between baseline (retrieved retrospectively from medical records) and admission (acquired at the acute hospital admission) in 33 patients (65 ± 9.5 years) with right or left MCA territory ischemic stroke. Head computed tomography (CT), cardiac ultrasound, and cardiac CT scans were undertaken.Results: Stroke was located in the right MCA territory in 21 (64%) and in the left MCA territory in 12 (36%) patients. Patients w...

Costs of Hospitalization for Stroke Patients Aged 18-64 Years in the United States
Background: Estimates for the average cost of stroke have varied 20-fold in the United States. To provide a robust cost estimate, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the hospitalization costs for stroke patients by diagnosis status and event type.Methods: Using the 2006-2008 MarketScan inpatient database, we identified 97,374 hospitalizations with a primary or secondary diagnosis of stroke. We analyzed the costs after stratifying the hospitalizations by stroke type (hemorrhagic, ischemic, and other strokes) and diagnosis status (primary and secondary). We employed regressions to estimate the impact of event type and d...

Prevalence of stroke symptoms among stroke‐free residents: first national data from Lebanon
ConclusionsThis is the first study conducted in the Middle East, assessing self‐reported stroke symptoms among stroke‐free residents. Our study showed that almost one in eight residents without a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack has had stroke symptoms. Major vascular risk factors are associated with these symptoms, thus allowing for prevention strategies.

Hypertensive Retinopathy and Risk of Stroke Hypertensive Retinopathy
In this study, we examine whether hypertensive retinopathy predicts the long-term risk of stroke in those with hypertension. A total of 2907 participants with hypertension aged 50 to 73 years at the 1993 to 1995 examination, who had gradable retinal photographs, no history of diabetes mellitus, stroke, and coronary heart disease at baseline and data on incident stroke, were included from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study. Retinal photographs were assessed for hypertensive retinopathy signs and classified as none, mild, and moderate/severe. Incident events of any stroke, cerebral infarction, and hemorrhag...

Association of cerebral microbleeds with mortality in stroke patients having atrial fibrillation
Conclusions: The presence and burden of CMBs were associated with increased mortality in stroke patients with NVAF. Patients with lobar CMBs were at increased risk of death due to hemorrhagic stroke. The diagnosis of CMBs is of value in predicting long-term prognosis in stroke patients with NVAF.

Heart rate and ischemic stroke: the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study
ConclusionIn REGARDS, high resting heart rates were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke compared with low heart rates. Further research is needed to examine whether interventions aimed to reduce heart rate decrease stroke risk.

Women Had Worse Stroke Outcome (P1.217)
Conclusion: in our cohort women have worst post-stroke outcome, even though they have higher burden of vascular risk factors they have lower prevalence of vascular disease in other vascular beds previous to stroke. This difference persists after adjusting by age, raising the possibility of specific gender risk factors influencing on ischemic stroke outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Zurru has nothing to disclose.

Stroke and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Carotid Disease Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Structural Heart Disease
Conclusions— CD is common among TAVR patients, present in 1 of 5. CD was not associated with an increased risk of stroke or mortality at 30 day or 1 year. Post-TAVR stroke seems to be because of mechanisms other than CD.

Gender differences in the age‐stratified prevalence of risk factors in Korean ischemic stroke patients: a nationwide stroke registry‐based cross‐sectional study
ConclusionKorean women with stroke had more hypertension and hyperlipidemia after middle age, more diabetes after 65 years, and more atrial fibrillation throughout all ages. Strategies to control risk factors in women at risk for stroke are eagerly needed.

Predictors of Noticing Stroke Educational Campaign
Conclusions: Tobacco smokers in particular should be targeted by stroke awareness campaigns, for example, through health warning labels on cigarette packs. People with some stroke risk factors, such as heart disease and obesity, are responsive to information about stroke. Therefore, educational campaigns should target the groups with increased risk of stroke.
