Willingness to be Reinitiated on a Statin (from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Study)
Guidelines recommend attempting to reinitiate statins in patients who discontinue treatment. Previous experiences while taking a statin, including side effects, may reduce a patient ’s willingness to reinitiate treatment. We determined the percentage of adults who are willing to reinitiate statin therapy after treatment discontinuation. Factors associated with willingness to reinitiate a statin were also examined. A statin questionnaire was administered and study examination conducted in black and white US adults enrolled in the nationwide REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke study from 2013 to 2017.

Association of statin pretreatment with collateral circulation and final infarct volume in acute ischemic stroke patients: A meta-analysis
Statin pretreatment (SP) is associated with improved outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Collateral circulation status and final infarct volume (FIV) are independent predictors of functional outcome in AIS.

Contribution of WNT2B Genetic Variants to Ischemic Stroke Occurrence in a Chinese Han Population
Abstract: Wnt signaling pathway–related WNT2B gene was upregulated in ischemic brain damage. We aimed to assess the contribution of WNT2B genetic variant to ischemic stroke (IS) susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. Five polymorphisms including rs3790606, rs351364, rs3790608, rs12037987, and rs10776752 in WNT2B were genotyped using Agena MassARRAY platform in 476 healthy controls and 501 patients with IS. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) adjusted for age and gender were estimated by logistic regression analysis. Analysis of variance was used to evaluate the association between genotypes of WNT...

A Comorbid Rat Model of Neuroendocrine-Immune System Alterations Under the Impact of Risk Factors for Stroke
Front Aging Neurosci. 2022 Jan 20;13:827503. doi: 10.3389/fnagi.2021.827503. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTHypercholesterolemia and carotid atherosclerosis contribute to the etiology of stroke. However, there has been a lack of appropriate comorbid animal models incorporating some of the ubiquitous characteristics that precede strokes. Curcumin is a natural active polyphenolic compound extracted from the rhizoma of Curcuma longa L. which possesses comprehensive bioactivities. The present study aimed to evaluate whether neurobehavioral deficits, neuroendocrine-immune dysregulations and cerebral microcirculation dysfunction, are ...

Effective high-density lipoprotein cholesterol is associated with carotid intima-media thickness and vascular events after acute ischemic stroke
Effective high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is a measure of HDL functionality. We evaluated if HDL-C is associated with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and incident major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with acute ischemic stroke from two prospective cohort studies.

Polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein E gene affect response to atorvastatin therapy in acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSION: APOE gene polymorphisms affect the biological functions of atorvastatin. Compared to the ε3 or ε4 allele, the ε2 allele exerted a greater lipid-lowering effect on LDL-C levels, enhanced the ability of atorvastatin to stabilize carotid artery plaques, and slowed carotid artery plaque progression.PMID:36426228 | PMC:PMC9678920 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2022.1024014
