Frequency and predictors of diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention related to stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the large national registry, PCI ± DCA is associated with fewer risk factors and lower rate of periprocedural strokes than isolated DCA.PMID:34472076 | DOI:10.33963/KP.a2021.0100

In vitro fertilization exacerbates stroke size and neurological disability in wildtype mice
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) induce premature vascular aging in human offspring. The related alterations are well-established risk factors for stroke and predictors of adverse stroke outcome. However, given the young age of the human ART population there is no information on the incidence and outcome of cerebrovascular complications in humans . In mice, ART alters the cardiovascular phenotype similarly to humans, thereby offering the possibility to study this problem.

Epidemiology and risk factors for stroke in young individuals: implications for prevention
Purpose of review
Summarize and examine the epidemiology, etiologies, risk factors, and treatment of stroke among young adults and highlight the importance of early recognition, treatment, and primordial prevention of risk factors that lead to stroke.
Recent findings
Incidence of stroke, predominantly ischemic, among young adults has increased over the past two decades. This parallels an increase in traditional risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and use of tobacco, and use of illicit substances among young stroke patients. Compared to older patients, there is a much higher proportion of intracerebral a...

Exosomes in atrial fibrillation: therapeutic potential and role as clinical biomarkers
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, is a global epidemic. AF can cause heart failure and myocardial infarction and increase the risk of stroke, disability, and thromboembolic events. AF is becoming increasingly ubiquitous and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality at higher ages, resulting in an increasing threat to human health as well as substantial medical and social costs. Currently, treatment strategies for AF focus on controlling heart rate and rhythm with medications to restore and maintain sinus rhythm, but this approach has limitations. Catheter ablation is not entir...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor activation dilates cerebral arterioles, increases cerebral blood flow, and mediates remote (pre)conditioning neuroprotection against ischaemic stroke
In this study, we tested the hypothesis that GLP-1 mediates neuroprotection induced by RIC and investigated the effect of GLP-1R activation on cerebral blood vessels, as a potential mechanism of GLP-1-induced protection against ischaemic stroke. A rat model of ischaemic stroke (90 min of middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by 24-h reperfusion) was used. RIC was induced by 4 cycles of 5 min left hind limb ischaemia interleaved with 5-min reperfusion periods. RIC markedly (by ~ 80%) reduced the cerebral infarct size and improved the neurological score. The neuroprotection established by RIC was abolished by syst...

Secondary stroke prevention after TIA or ischemic stroke
Herz. 2021 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s00059-021-05035-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is one of the main causes of mortality and permanent disability. Secondary prevention of stroke recurrence therefore has a high priority. Secondary prevention of ischemic stroke includes optimization of the lifestyle and diet, treatment of risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia, prophylaxis of recurrence with antiplatelet treatment in patients with high vascular risk and anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation. In addition, secondary prevention includes carotid surgery or stenting in selected symptomati...
