Impact of Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound on Logistics and Outcomes in Stroke Thrombolysis Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—Diagnostic transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) is commonly used in patients with acute stroke before or during treatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). We aimed to assess how much TCD delays IVT initiation and whether TCD influences outcomes.Methods—We analyzed data from the SITS-ISTR (Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke–International Stroke Thrombolysis Register) collected from December 2002 to December 2011. Outcomes were door-to-needle time, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage, functional outcome per the modified Rankin Scale, and mortality at 3 months.Results—In hospita...

Intima-Media Thickness and Cognitive Function in Stroke-Free Middle-Aged Adults: Findings From the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— We observed an association between greater IMT and worse processing speed—a key component of cognitive functioning—at middle age above and beyond traditional vascular risk factors. Efforts targeted at preventing early stages of atherosclerosis may modify the course of cognitive aging.

Effect of Middle Cerebral Artery Territory Ischemic Stroke on QT Interval
In this study, we investigated whether QT interval dynamics is different in patients with right and left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory stroke.Method: Electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals were compared between baseline (retrieved retrospectively from medical records) and admission (acquired at the acute hospital admission) in 33 patients (65 ± 9.5 years) with right or left MCA territory ischemic stroke. Head computed tomography (CT), cardiac ultrasound, and cardiac CT scans were undertaken.Results: Stroke was located in the right MCA territory in 21 (64%) and in the left MCA territory in 12 (36%) patients. Patients w...

Stroke Risk Factors, Subtypes, and 30-Day Case Fatality in Abuja, Nigeria (P1.121)
CONCLUSIONS: Although hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation were important stroke risk factors, in many patients, these were detected only after a stroke. While the commonest stroke subtype was cerebral infarction, observed in almost two-third of patients, SAH was associated with the highest case-fatality rate at 30 days of 44.4%. Larger population-based studies are planned.Study Supported by: nilDisclosure: Dr. Bwala has nothing to disclose.

Bone Mineral Density and Incidence of Stroke: European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer-Norfolk Population-Based Study, Systematic Review, and Meta-Analysis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Bone mineral density predicts total stroke risk. The evidence is stronger in women with regard to the continuous relationship.

Coated-Platelets Improve Prediction of Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack in Asymptomatic Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Coated-platelet levels identify asymptomatic carotid stenosis patients at high risk for stroke or TIA, which suggests a role for coated-platelets in risk stratification before revascularization.

Reducing Delay of Carotid Endarterectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Nationwide Initiative Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Establishing time limits of 4 days to ultrasound examination of the carotids and of 2 weeks to CEA from onset of stroke followed by a systematic multidisciplinary monitoring and auditing of processes was associated with a substantial increase in the proportion of acute ischemic stroke patients who undergo CEA within 2 weeks in Denmark.

Sensitivity of transcranial doppler and transoesophageal echocardiography for the detection of patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic stroke
Conclusions TCD with bubble test is sensitive and specific for the detection of right–to–left shunts due to PFO confirmed at right heart catheterisation. In this population, TOE had low sensitivity for RLS. There was no difference in physical PFO size between TOE positive and negative patients.

Optical Bedside Monitoring of Cerebral Blood Flow in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients during Head of Bed Manipulation (P4.216)
CONCLUSIONS: A lower HOB angle results in an increase in cortical CBF without a significant change in arterial flow velocity in the setting of acute stroke, but there is variability across patients in this response. Bedside CBF monitoring with DCS provides a potential means to individualize interventions designed to optimize CBF in acute ischemic stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Favilla has nothing to disclose.

Intraoperative Completion Studies, Local Anesthesia, and Antiplatelet Medication Are Associated With Lower Risk in Carotid Endarterectomy Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Local anesthesia, patch plasty compared with primary closure, intraoperative completion studies by duplex ultrasound or angiography, and perioperative antiplatelet medication were independently associated with lower in-hospital stroke or death rates after carotid endarterectomy.

Prevalence of stenoses and occlusions of brain-supplying arteries in young stroke patients
Conclusions: We observed a substantial proportion of atherosclerotic carotid artery stenoses and occlusions in younger stroke patients. Intracranial stenoses and occlusions were even more prevalent than extracranial carotid artery disease. Together with nonstenotic plaques, one-fifth of patients (21.2%) had symptomatic or asymptomatic large-artery atherosclerosis, which should encourage future stroke prevention campaigns to target risk factor modification in young people.

Cerebral Vasomotor Reactivity and Risk of Mortality: The Rotterdam Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— We found that lower cerebral vasomotor reactivity is associated with an increased risk of death. Incident stroke does not affect this association, suggesting that a lower cerebral vasomotor reactivity reflects a generally impaired vascular system.

Clinical Deterioration Following Middle Cerebral Artery Hemodynamic Changes after Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Hemodynamic changes in the affected artery occurred in about two-thirds of patients within the first 10 days after receiving intravenous thrombolysis; 18% had hemodynamic deterioration, which was associated with clinical worsening in half of these cases.
