Association of increased arterial stiffness with diastolic dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients: the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
Background: Young and middle-aged ischemic stroke survivors have a high prevalence of hypertension, increased arterial stiffness and abnormal left ventricular (LV) geometry, which all are associated with the presence of LV diastolic dysfunction. However, the prevalence and covariates of diastolic dysfunction in these patients have not been reported. Objectives: To explore diastolic dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients aged 15–60 years included in the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study. Methods: Data from 260 patients with acute ischemic stroke was analyzed. Diastolic dysfunction was assessed by combining tran...

Prevalence of atherosclerosis and association with 5-year outcome: The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
CONCLUSION: Atherosclerosis is highly prevalent even in young stroke patients. Some areas and increasing NAA are associated with CVEs and death.PMID:35342817 | PMC:PMC8948509 | DOI:10.1177/23969873211059472

Risk factors for stroke and choice of oral anticoagulant in atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsThe uptake of DOACs was rapid and spurred an increase in new users of oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation from 2010 to 2015 in Norway. The mean CHA2DS2-VASc score did not change substantially during this period. Vascular disease, heart failure, and diabetes were associated with initiation of warfarin, and previous stroke, age 65 –74 and female sex with initiation of DOACs.

Covariables and types of abnormal left ventricular geometry in nonelderly ischemic stroke survivors: the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
Background: Abnormal left ventricular (LV) geometry types, like LV hypertrophy (LVH) and concentric remodelling, are independently associated with impaired prognosis in hypertension. Little is known about the prevalence and covariables of abnormal LV geometry types in younger ischemic stroke patients. Methods: We used clinical and echocardiographic data from 280 patients aged 15–60 years included in the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study. LVH was defined as LV mass index greater than 46.7 g/m2.7 in women and greater than 49.2 g/m2.7 in men. Concentric remodelling was considered present if posterior wall thickne...

Left ventricular myocardial dysfunction in young and middle-aged ischemic stroke patients: the Norwegian stroke in the young study
Background: Hypertension is highly prevalent in ischemic stroke patients, but less is known about its impact on subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in such patients. Methods: Conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography was performed in 276 young (15–44 years) and middle-aged (45–60 years) ischemic stroke patients (mean age 50 ± 9 years, 66% men). Hypertension was defined as a history of hypertension, use of antihypertensive medications, persistently elevated blood pressure (BP) during hospitalization or elevated clinic BP (≥140/90 mmHg) and ambulatory BP (≥130/80 mmHg) at follow-up vi...

Binge drinking and risk of ischemic heart disease and stroke: a study of pooled Norwegian health surveys
Am J Epidemiol. 2021 Mar 15:kwab063. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwab063. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNorwegian health survey data (1987 - 2003) were analysed to determine if binge drinking increases the risk of incident major events from ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke. Among current drinkers reporting average alcohol intakes between 2 to 60 g/day (n = 44,476), frequent binge drinking (5+ units ≥ once per month) was not associated with a greater risk of IHD (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.91, 95% confidence interval: 0.76, 1.09) nor stroke (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.98, 95% confidence interval: 0.81, 1.19), in comparison with...

Associations of Binge Drinking With the Risks of Ischemic Heart Disease and Stroke: A Study of Pooled Norwegian Health Surveys
AbstractNorwegian health survey data (1987 –2003) were analyzed to determine if binge drinking increases the risk of incident major events from ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke. Among current drinkers reporting average alcohol intakes of 2.00–59.99 g/day (n = 44,476), frequent binge drinking (≥5 units at least once per month) was not associated with a greater risk of IHD (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76, 1.09) or stroke (adjusted HR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.81, 1.19), in comparison with participants who reported that they never or only infrequently (less than once per month...

Validity of self-reported myocardial infarction and stroke in regions with Sami and Norwegian populations: the SAMINOR 1 Survey and the CVDNOR project
Conclusions The sensitivity and PPV of SMI were high and moderate, respectively; for SRS, both of these measures were moderate. Our results show that SMI from the SAMINOR 1 Survey may be used in aetiological/analytical studies in this population due to a high IHD-specific PPV. The SAMINOR 1 questionnaire may also be used to estimate the prevalence of acute myocardial infarction and acute stroke.

Implementation of a telemedicine, stroke evaluation service; a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: The service was perceived as valuable to the local community, providing a sense of healthcare security and equitability. Management's involvement, flexibility, and coordination appears to be a key factor for successful implementation and long-term sustainability of the service.PMID:35964091 | DOI:10.1186/s12913-022-08428-x

Vascular risk factors and staging of atherosclerosis in patients and controls: The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
CONCLUSION: Vascular risk factors are highly prevalent in young- and middle-aged patients and controls, and are predictors of established atherosclerosis at study inclusion. Focus on main modifiable vascular RFs in primary prevention, and early and aggressive secondary treatment of patients are necessary to reduce further progression of atherosclerosis.PMID:36082261 | PMC:PMC9446327 | DOI:10.1177/23969873221098582
