Insular Cortex Lesions, Cardiac Troponin, and Detection of Previously Unknown Atrial Fibrillation in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Insights From the Troponin Elevation in Acute Ischemic Stroke Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Insular cortex involvement, higher admission high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, older age, hypertension, and longer monitoring are associated with new detection of AF during in-hospital ECG monitoring. Patients with higher high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T or insular cortex involvement may be candidates for prolonged ECG monitoring.

Clinical and Economic Implications of Apixaban Versus Aspirin in the Low-Risk Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Anticoagulant treatment with apixaban versus aspirin in low-risk patients, as identified using CHADS2 or CHA2DS2–VASc, is projected to increase life expectancy and provide clinical benefits that are cost effective.

Cryptogenic Stroke with More Than One Cause versus No Cause by TOAST Classification Lacks Adequate Predictive Power for Stroke Risk Factors and Outcomes (P1.116)
Conclusion: Differentiating between cryptogenic more than one cause and cryptogenic no cause demonstrates significant difference in the rates of cardiac-related, vasculature-related, and outcome variables. However, cryptogenic more than one cause does not have significant predictive power in demographic, baseline, or outcome prediction models.Disclosure: Dr. Scullen has nothing to disclose.

Are there Different Rates of Acute Stroke Risk Factors in the South Texas Mexican American population? (P7.146)
CONCLUSION: In the South Texas Mexican American AIS population, there is greater then a three-fold higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and CHF compared with Hispanics/Latinos in the US. AFIB and CHF are significant predictors of poor outcome in this unique population.Disclosure: Dr. Tekle has nothing to disclose. Dr. Hassan has nothing to disclose. Dr. Malik has nothing to disclose.

Systolic Blood Pressure During Acute Stroke Is Associated With Functional Status and Long-term Mortality in the Elderly Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— High systolic BP recorded by 24H BPM on the first day of stroke was found to be associated with unfavorable short-term functional status and long-term mortality in elderly patients.

Usefulness of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Levels for Stroke Risk Prediction in Anticoagulated Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In real-world cohort of anticoagulated patients with AF, NT-proBNP provided complementary prognostic information to an established clinical risk score (CHA2DS2–VASc) for the prediction of stroke/systemic embolism. NT-proBNP was also predictive of all-cause mortality, suggesting that this biomarker may potentially be used to refine clinical risk stratification in anticoagulated patients with AF.

Ischemic Stroke Risk After Acute Coronary Syndrome Stroke
Conclusions Non-STEMI and STEMI confer an equally increased risk of IS. Studies exploring IS mechanisms in cardiac patients are needed to improve and tailor stroke prevention strategies.

Predictors for atrial fibrillation detection after cryptogenic stroke: Results from CRYSTAL AF
Conclusion: Increasing age and a prolonged PR interval at enrollment were independently associated with an increased AF incidence in CS patients. However, they offered only moderate predictive ability in determining which CS patients had AF detected by the ICM.

Ischemic Stroke Risk After Acute Coronary Syndrome Stroke
BackgroundPrior studies show an increased risk of ischemic stroke (IS) after myocardial infarction; however, there is limited evidence on long‐term risk and whether it is directly related to cardiac injury. We hypothesized that the risk of IS after acute coronary syndrome is significantly higher if there is evidence of cardiac injury, such as ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non‐STEMI, than when there is no evidence of cardiac injury, such as in unstable angina.Methods and ResultsAdministrative claims data were obtained from all emergency department encounters and hospitalizations at California's...

Duration of Diabetes Mellitus and Risk of Thromboembolism and Bleeding in Atrial Fibrillation: Nationwide Cohort Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In patients with atrial fibrillation, longer duration of diabetes mellitus was associated with a higher risk of thromboembolism, but not with a higher risk of anticoagulant-related bleeding. Considering the critical balance between preventing thromboembolism and avoiding bleeding, longer duration of diabetes mellitus may favor initiation of anticoagulant therapy.

Japanese and Non-Japanese Patients with Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke: A Five-Year Risk Analysis of Stroke and Vascular Events.
CONCLUSIONS: Recurrent stroke and intracranial hemorrhage were determined to be more prevalent at 5 years after TIA or minor stroke in Japanese patients than in non-Japanese patients. Strategies to mitigate the long-term risks of stroke, aside from adherence to current guidelines, should take Japanese-patient-specific residual risks into account.
