IJERPH, Vol. 13, Pages 477: H-Type Hypertension and C Reactive Protein in Recurrence of Ischemic Stroke
Hypertension with high homocysteine (HHcy) (H-type hypertension) and C reactive protein (CRP) can increase the incidence of ischemic stroke. However, it is not clear whether recurrent ischemic stroke (RIS) is related to H-type hypertension and CRP. The present study investigated the correlation of H-type hypertension and CRP level with RIS. Totally, 987 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were recruited in a teaching hospital in Henan province, China during March 2014 to March 2015. The demographic and clinical characteristics and blood biochemical parameters of patients were analyzed. Elevated levels of CRP an...

Can air pollution trigger an onset of atrial fibrillation: a population-based study
This study aims to evaluate the effect of air pollution on the new AF onset requiring hospitalization. A case-crossover analysis was performed on a population of patients hospitalized in a large tertiary teaching hospital between 2006 and 2010 with first life occurrence of atrial fibrillation; 1458 patients were admitted to the hospital with new-onset AF. AF onset was associated with an interquartile range elevation of carbon monoxide concentrations during the winter season (odds ratio 1.15, p = 0.040) and sulfur dioxide concentrations during the fall season (odds ratio 1.21, p = 0.028). An interquartile range elev...
