Prevalence and Risk Factors of Carotid Artery Stenosis (CAS) Among Cardiac Surgery Patients
CONCLUSION: This study shows a high prevalence of CAS among cardiac surgery patients. In addition, older age, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension were found to be major risk factors for CAS. Gender and weight status were not associated with CAS. Preoperative carotid duplex scan is a useful exam to identify CAS among cardiac surgery patients and, therefore, to predict and reduce postoperative neurological complications.PMID:37200653 | PMC:PMC10186855 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.37634

The relationship between vertebrobasilar artery calcification and intracranial atherosclerosis-related occlusion in thrombectomy
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that VBAC is an independent risk factor for ICAS-O in patients who underwent thrombectomy. Patients free of atrial fibrillation with VBAC have more trend to be ICAS-O.PMID:36267885 | PMC:PMC9577291 | DOI:10.3389/fneur.2022.965362

Coronary Calcium Score and Stratification of Coronary Artery Disease Risk in Patients with Atherosclerotic and Non-Atherosclerotic Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion Atherosclerotic IS did not present a greater risk of CAD when compared to non-atherosclerotic IS according to CCS. Only age ≥ 60 years, but not etiology, was independently associated with CCS ≥ 100.

Coronary Calcium Score. Is There a Difference among Ischemic Stroke Subtypes?
Conclusion Atherosclerotic IS did not present a greater risk of CAD when compared to non-atherosclerotic IS according to CCS. Only age ≥ 60 years, but not etiology, was independently associated with CCS ≥ 100.

Cardiovascular/stroke risk prevention: A new machine learning framework integrating carotid ultrasound image-based phenotypes and its harmonics with conventional risk factors.
CONCLUSION: The AtheroRisk-integrated ML system outperforms the AtheroRisk-conventional ML system using RF classifier. PMID: 32861380 [PubMed - in process]

Population trends in aortic valve surgery in Finland between 2001 and 2016.
Conclusions. The use of biologic aortic valve prosthesis has increased from 2001 to 2016. The proportion of women has declined markedly. The short-term mortality has decreased and the long-term mortality has stayed constant despite increasing comorbidity burden. PMID: 31650870 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Strokes secondary to hypertensive peaks in emergencies
ConclusionThe prevention of risk factors and the reduction of time to management are the necessary conditions for a better prognosis of hemorrhagic stroke.

Preoperative CT scan for postoperative stroke prediction in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery: Statistical concern for clinical factors in regression analyses
We read with great interest the paper by Leonard et al. [1] online published in IJC in Dec 12, 2018. They included 57 articles (19 CT versus 38 non-CT) with a total of 13,731 patients in the pooled analysis, and tried to identify the potential influential clinical factors of stroke occurrence following minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS). Finally, 10 clinical factors (age, female gender, CAD, hypertension, non-CT screening, etc.) have been found to be with significant importance for the incidence of stroke using univariate mete-regression analyses.

Effects of Riociguat on Right Ventricular Remodelling in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Patients: A Prospective Study
ConclusionsRiociguat treatment was associated with increased RV stroke volume index and trends for improvement in myocardial remodelling in patients with CTEPH. A larger clinical study is warranted to observe the therapeutic benefits of riociguat on RV remodelling.RésuméContexteLes effets du traitement par le riociguat sur le métabolisme, la perfusion et le débit du ventricule droit (VD) chez les patients atteints d’hypertension pulmonaire thromboembolique chronique (HPTC) sont inconnus. Dans la présente étude, nous analysons les changements aux ventriculaires droits associés au traitement par le riociguat.Méthod...

Framingham Stroke Risk Profile is related to cerebral small vessel disease progression and lower cognitive performance in patients with hypertension
The Framingham Stroke Risk Profile (FSRP) was developed to predict clinical stroke. We investigated if FSRP is associated with more “silent” effects of cerebrovascular disease, namely progression of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD)‐related brain damage and cognitive performance in hypertensive patients. Ninety patients with essential hypertension underwent a brain MRI scan and FSRP assessment at baseline, and a second brain MRI scan and neuropsychological assessment at 9‐year follow‐up. We visually rated progression of cSVD‐related MRI markers. FSRP was associated with progressive periventricular white matt...
