Routine troponin measurements are unnecessary in acute ischemic stroke evaluations (P4.285)
CONCLUSIONS: Troponin elevation in patients with ischemic stroke is not caused by acute myocardial ischemia unless iatrogenic in the setting of vasopressor administration. Serum troponins should be measured based on clinical context rather than routinely in all acute ischemic stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Ali has nothing to disclose.

Utility of Workup for Thrombophilias in a Single Center - A Qualitative Perspective (P1.125)
ConclusionStroke is considered cryptogenic in about 30-40 percent cases. Hypercoagulable testing is often ordered in this clinical setting. So far our results are consistent with other reports in the literature that such testing has limited clinical utility. Our results highlight the need to develop stringent clinical guidelines for HT in the setting of ischemic strokes.Disclosure: Dr. Shah has nothing to disclose. Dr. Anderson has nothing to disclose.

Stroke And Cerebrovascular Risk Factors Knowledge In Patients Admitted To A Cardiovascular Ward. (P1.135)
Conclusion: Even in these selected population, with previous or current CVD, a large amount of RF and a high rate of previous medical consultations, knowledge about stroke showed to be very low indicating a poor quality of preventive measures and the need to emphasize educational interventions.Disclosure: Dr. Muñoz has nothing to disclose.

Stroke Severity in Men and Women: What Proportion of the Disparity Can Be Explained by Differences in Cardiovascular Risk Factors? (S12.005)
Conclusion: In our biracial sample, women presented with more severe strokes than men. This difference remained significant even after adjustment for age, stroke subtype, and cardiovascular risk factors. Further, over 1/3 of the observed gender difference in stroke severity was unexplained.. Additional study is warranted to investigate the etiology of the gender differences in stroke severity.Disclosure: Dr. Albright has received research support from The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
