Heart rate variability and baroreceptor sensitivity in acute stroke: a systematic review
BackgroundAutonomic nervous system dysfunction is common after acute stroke and is associated with elevated risk of cardiac arrhythmia and mortality. Heart rate variability and baroreceptor sensitivity have been investigated as parameters of autonomic nervous system dysfunction for the prediction of stroke outcome. SummaryWe performed a systematic literature review on heart rate variability and baroreceptor sensitivity as parameters for autonomic nervous function in acute stroke. Twenty‐two studies were included. Associations between heart rate variability or baroreceptor sensitivity and stroke severity, early and late c...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Stroke: Determining the Mechanisms Behind their Association and Treatment Options
AbstractSleep-disordered breathing (SDB) can be a sequela of stroke caused by vascular injury to vital respiratory centers, cerebral edema, and increased intracranial pressure of space-occupying lesions. Likewise, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) contributes to increased stroke risk through local mechanisms such as impaired ischemic cerebrovascular response and systemic effects such as promoting atherosclerosis, hypercoagulability, cardiac arrhythmias, vascular-endothelial dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome. The impact of OSA on stroke outcomes has been established, yet it receives less attention in national guidelines on st...

Diagnostic value of prehospital ECG in acute stroke patients
Conclusions: In a selected cohort of patients with stroke, the in-field recordings of the ECG detected a relevant rate of cardiac arrhythmia. The results can add to the in-hospital evaluation and should be considered in prehospital care of acute stroke.

Vomiting should be a prompt predictor of stroke outcome
Conclusions Compared with patients without vomiting, the risk of death was significantly higher in patients with vomiting at the onset of stroke. Vomiting should be an early predictor of the outcome.

Atrial Fibrillation Burden and Short-Term Risk of Stroke: Case-Crossover Analysis of Continuously Recorded Heart Rhythm From Cardiac Electronic Implanted Devices Original Articles
Conclusions— In this population with continuous heart rhythm recording, multiple hours of AF had a strong but transient effect raising stroke risk.

Ischemic Stroke in Children and Young Adults With Congenital Heart Disease Congenital Heart Disease
Conclusions The risk of developing ischemic stroke was almost 11 times higher in young patients with CHD than in the general population, although absolute risk is low. Cardiovascular comorbidities were strongly associated with the development of ischemic stroke in young CHD patients.

Troponin Elevation Predicts Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
Conclusions: cTnI elevation predicts new-onset AF on 24-hour Holter measurement in patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA and may indicate a poorer prognosis and a higher risk of stroke, MI, and death at 3 months.

Vitamin K antagonist-experienced patients with a history of stroke/transient ischaemic attack who switched from warfarin to dabigatran increased their rate of recurrent stroke/transient ischaemic attack compared with those on warfarin
Commentary on: Larsen TB, Rasmussen LH, Gorst-Rasmussen A, et al. Dabigatran and warfarin for secondary prevention of stroke in atrial fibrillation patients: a nationwide cohort study. Am J Med 2014;127:1172–8 . Context Randomised trials have shown that patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are treated with a non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC), compared with warfarin, have similar or lower rates of stroke and major bleeding, markedly reduced rates of intracranial bleeding and a consistent pattern of reduced mortality.1 Dabigatran 150 mg two times a day is the only NOAC that can significantly...

To Treat or Not to Treat Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Given the patient characteristics in this study, there is room for more patients to be treated with anticoagulants, without hemorrhages to prevail. In nonagenarians, hemorrhages increased somewhat more, but this did not affect the overall outcome in this age stratum.

Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry Identifies Occult Atrial Fibrillation After Cryptogenic Stroke (I2-2.002)
CONCLUSIONS:Atrial fibrillation is detected on MCOT in a substantial minority of cryptogenic stroke patients. Age蠅60 and the presence of prior cortical or cerebellar strokes should raise suspicion for occult AF.
