Predicting the Outcomes of Acute Ischemic Stroke with Rheumatic Heart Disease: The Values of CHADS2, CHA2DS2–VASc, and HAS-BLED Scores
The CHADS2 and CHA2DS2–VASc score were used to evaluate the atrial fibrillation-related risk of stroke, and HAS-BLED score was used to estimate the oral anticoagulation-bleeding risk. We investigated the relationships between these 3 scores and the outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) at 3 months after stroke.

Comparison of Baseline Heart Rate Variability in Stable Ischemic Heart Disease Patients with and without Stroke in Long-Term Observation
Decreased heart rate variability (HRV) has predictive value in postinfarction as well as in ischemic stroke patients. However, it is unknown if ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients who are at high risk of stroke have different HRV profile. The goal of this study was to compare baseline HRV (traditional and novel indices) in stable IHD patients with and without stroke in long-term observation.

Artificial intelligence accurately predicts stroke risk
[Image from unsplash.com]Machine-learning algorithms, a form of artificial intelligence, accurately predicted people’s risk of heart disease and stroke, according to new research from the University of Nottingham. Researchers and computer scientists compared the risk guidelines for heart disease and stroke from the American College of Cardiology with 4 machine-learning algorithms to analyze the risk of a patient having each. The results showed that the artificially intelligent algorithms were significantly more accurate at predicting cardiovascular disease than the regular medical models.

Comments on Etiological Classification of Stroke in Patients with Chagas Disease Using TOAST, Causative Classification System TOAST, and ASCOD Phenotyping
We have read with great interest the article by Bezerra et  al,1 in which an etiological classification of stroke in patients with Chagas heart disease using different systems is presented. By studying a tertiary referral center population composed of 32 patients with Chagas disease with stroke, the authors were able to show that although cardioembolic str oke affects the majority of patients, atherosclerosis and small-vessel occlusion still were important causes of stroke in patients with this condition.

Vegetarians May Be At Higher Risk Of Stroke, Study Finds
BOSTON (CBS) – Many people adopt a vegetarian lifestyle to help reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease, but a new study published in the BMJ finds people who avoid meat all together may be at a higher risk of stroke. Researchers in the U.K. looked at about 48 thousand adults over 18 years. They found that vegetarians, vegans, and pescatarians (people who eat fish but not meat) had a lower risk of ischemic heart disease, like heart attacks. But vegetarians had a 20% higher risk of stroke compared to meat eaters. It’s not clear why vegetarians may suffer more strokes. Perhaps it is due to lower levels of cer...

Infectious Causes of Stroke
Stroke is one of the primary causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. It can be ischemic or hemorrhagic, and the former can be due to an in-situ thrombus or a distant embolus. Despite being a rare cause, stroke can also be caused in the setting of infection. Bacterial agents are the most common cause of stroke, among other infectious agents. Until the antibiotic era, rheumatic heart disease was a predisposing risk factor of infective endocarditis. VZV is the most common cause of strokes in pediatric and adult populations.

Vitamin B may reduce risk of stroke
Researchers have uncovered evidence that suggests vitamin B supplements could help to reduce the risk of stroke, according to a study published in the journal Neurology. Vitamin B supplements are said to be beneficial for many health issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, dementia, Alzheimer's disease and heart disease. However, according to Xu Yuming of Zhengzhou University in Zhengzhou, China, previous studies have conflicting findings regarding the use of vitamin B supplements and stroke or heart attack...

Stroke risks increase with high levels of anxiety
The negative health effects of anxiety, such as increased coronary heart disease risks, have long been documented and accepted in the medical community. But now, research suggests that individuals with high levels of anxiety have an increased risk for stroke.The researchers, who are from the University of Pittsburgh, published the results of their study in the journal Stroke.They say that anxiety disorders - characterized by fear, unease and worry - impact nearly 20% of US adults each year and often last for at least 6 months.

Predictors of Mortality in Patients With Lacunar Stroke in the Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Unexpected interactions between assigned antiplatelet therapy and each of ischemic heart disease and normal/prehypertensive status accounted for increased mortality among patients with recent lacunar stroke given dual antiplatelet therapy. Despite extensive exploratory analyses, the mechanisms underlying these interactions are uncertain. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.SPS3ClinicalTrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00059306.

Increased Serum Alkaline Phosphatase as a Predictor of Symptomatic Hemorrhagic Transformation in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and/or Rheumatic Heart Disease
Elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is considered as a marker of liver function in clinical practice. Furthermore, it has been identified that liver function can contribute to hemorrhagic transformation (HT). However, whether ALP levels play a role in HT after stroke remains an open question, especially in cardioembolic stroke patients.

Plasma Retinol-Binding Protein 4 Levels and the Risk of Ischemic Stroke among Women
Plasma retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) levels have been associated with cardiovascular risk factors and risk of coronary heart disease, but little is known about the association between RBP4 and the risk of ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that elevated RBP4 levels would be associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke among women.
