Subclinical Vascular Composites Predict Clinical Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke, and Dementia: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
CONCLUSIONS: Subclinical vascular composites of arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis may be useful biomarkers to inform the vascular pathways contributing to events of CVD, CHD, stroke, and dementia.PMID:37205504 | PMC:PMC10187443 | DOI:10.1101/2023.05.01.23289364

Cryptogenic stroke in a young patient with heart disease and kidney failure.
CONCLUSIONS: Fabry's disease must be suspected in young males with heart disease, stroke or peripheral neuropathy, skin lesions, kidney failure and a history of cases in the family. Hormone replacement therapy must be established at an early stage, as it can improve the prognosis. PMID: 28497441 [PubMed - in process]

Case Report: Late Successful Thrombectomy for Ischemic Stroke in a 2-Year-Old Child
We describe hereafter the case of a 2-year-old female child who had a successful thrombectomy 9 h after stroke onset. The patient presented with right hemiplegia, central facial palsy, a normal level of consciousness, and speech difficulties. The PedNIHS score was 11. CT scan without contrast injection displayed spontaneous hyperdensity of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), with only limited early signs of ischemia (ASPECTS 8). CT angiography demonstrated occlusion of the proximal MCA with good collaterals. Thrombectomy was realized. Complete recanalization (TICI 3) was obtained under general anesthesia after two passes of ...

Predictors and Associated Outcomes of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Following Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke (P1.203)
Conclusions: SAH following endovascular intervention for acute stroke is more common among patients with history of ischemic heart disease. It does not impact on functional outcome or mortality at 3 months.Disclosure: Dr. Saleem has nothing to disclose. Dr. Georgiadis has nothing to disclose. Dr. Qureshi has nothing to disclose.

Cerebral density and perfusion measured among heart disease patients with and without stroke.
Authors: Obara K, Meyer JS, Muramatsu K, Mortel KF Abstract This' investigation was designed to clarify the chronic effects of cardiogenic emboli on cerebral perfusion and tissue densities within remaining noninfarcted brain. Local cerebral perfusion and tissue densities were measured by xenon-contrasted CT scanning and compared by cross-sectional designs among normal volunteers without heart disease (Group C, n - 44), normal volunteers with heart disease (Group N, n =20), patients with heart disease and lacunar infarctions (Group L, n = 31) and patients with heart disease associated with cardiogenic cerebral embol...

Radiology ruse: dural venous sinus cyst masquerading as venous sinus thrombosis presenting with headache and stroke
Conclusions Radiological differentiation between venous sinus thrombosis and dural venous sinus cyst is clinically important to avoid unnecessary anticoagulation and associated risks. Final management included propranolol for migraine prophylaxis; aspirin for acute migraine; aspirin for stroke prevention; vascular risk factor management; and cessation of triptans.

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...

'Corkscrew' shape of blood flow in heart's upper chamber may signal lower stroke risk
(Johns Hopkins Medicine) Using specialized CT scans of a healthy heart and one with heart disease, a team of Johns Hopkins cardiologists and biomedical engineers say they've created computer models of the 'shape' of blood flow through the heart's upper left chamber that someday may help predict stroke risk.

Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Is Associated With Circadian and Other Variability in Embolus Detection
Conclusions: Embolism associated with asymptomatic carotid stenosis shows circadian variation with highest rates 4–6 h before midday. This corresponds with peak circadian incidence of stroke and other vascular complications. These and ASED Study results show that monitoring frequency, duration, and time of day are important in ES detection. Introduction Transcranial Doppler (TCD) detected microembolism in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) may help stratify the risk of stroke and other arterial disease complications in persons with advanced (≥60%) asymptomatic carotid stenosis. If so, this t...

'Nine out of 10 strokes preventable,' claims study
Conclusion This valuable research aims to clarify which preventable risk factors are associated with stroke risk – knowledge that could have an effect on addressing this important global health problem. The study's strengths are that it is based on a large sample size of nearly 27,000 people from 32 countries and of different socioeconomic backgrounds. The researchers made careful attempts beforehand to calculate how many participants they would need to include to be able to reliably detect differences in risk factors. There was little missing data across the total sample – for the various different risk factors as...
