Interleukin-6 Predicts Carotid Plaque Severity, Vulnerability, and Progression
CONCLUSIONS: Circulating IL-6 predicts carotid plaque severity, vulnerability, and progression. The 2.0 pg/mL cutoff could facilitate the selection of individuals that would benefit from anti-IL-6 drugs for stroke prevention.PMID:35713008 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.122.320877

Intravenous Thrombolytics in the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo review the current evidence and ongoing clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase (TNK), an alternative tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), in the acute management of arterial ischemic stroke (AIS). To date, alteplase is the only tPA approved by the United States FDA for use in AIS.Recent FindingsThere have been multiple phase two and three trials investigating the safety and efficacy of TNK in AIS. In patients with AIS due to large vessel occlusion, one randomized controlled trial demonstrated superiority of TNK for vessel recanalization rates and long-term functional o...

Comparison of Risk of Atrial Fibrillation among Employed Versus Unemployed (From the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Study)
Involuntary unemployment due to job loss has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. Whether it also is associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently unknown. Therefore, we examined this association in 8,812 participants residing mainly in the Southeastern United States (mean age 58.1 ± 7.8 years; 63.2%; women; 43.2% black) with data on employment status who were enrolled in the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study between 2003 and 2007 after excluding those with voluntary unemployment (e.g.

Gender Differences in the Risk of Stroke after Mechanical Circulatory Support
Introduction: Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices have extended survival and improved quality of life for select patients with advanced heart failure. There have been concerns regarding the incidence of stroke after MCS, and some studies have suggested that female gender is a risk factor for the development of neurological complications. Methods: Using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample database we identified patients requiring MCS implantation in United States hospitals from 2010 –2014.

Usefulness of Proneurotensin to Predict Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality in a United States Population (From the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Study)
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death. Proneurotensin is a biomarker associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality. We assessed the association of fasting proneurotensin with mortal events by sex and race (black-white) in a United States (US) population. Using a case-cohort sub-population of the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study, fasting proneurotensin was measured on a 1046-person subcohort and 651 participants with incident coronary heart disease (CHD).

Relation of Admission Blood Pressure to In-hospital and 90-Day Outcomes in Patients Presenting with Transient Ischemic Attack
The association between admission blood pressure (BP) and outcomes in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) is not well defined. Patients in the United States national Get With The Guidelines-Stroke registry with a TIA were included. Admission systolic and diastolic BP was used to compute mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse pressure (PP). A subset of this cohort was linked to CMS claims data for post-discharge outcomes. The in-hospital outcomes of interest were: mortality, not discharged home, and inability to ambulate independently at discharge.

Perfusion Assessment in Critical Limb Ischemia: Principles for Understanding and the Development of Evidence and Evaluation of Devices: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Abstract There are >12 million patients with peripheral artery disease in the United States. The most severe form of peripheral artery disease is critical limb ischemia (CLI). The diagnosis and management of CLI is often challenging. Ethnic differences in comorbidities and presentation of CLI exist. Compared with white patients, black and Hispanic patients have higher prevalence rates of diabetes mellitus and chronic renal disease and are more likely to present with gangrene, whereas white patients are more likely to present with ulcers and rest pain. A thorough evaluation of limb perfusion is important in the ...
