Abstract 218: Do mass media campaigns about stroke influence the number of calls to Emergency Medical Services Dispatch Center? Poster Session II
Conclusion: These 2 campaigns had no impact on the amount of calls. Moreeffort should be made on patients’ education and a new strategy to reach target population must be clearly defined.

Differential association of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke in a nation-wide cohort
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, which has been suggested to relate to both similar risk factors and to similar pathophysiological mechanisms . The latter notion has also received support from pharmacoepidemiological studies, suggesting reduced cardiovascular risk by respiratory medications . However, the full impact of COPD on myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in a population-based cohort remains to be fully investigated. The aim of the present study was to outline the association of COPD with MI and stroke. To this end, we analyzed the ...

Abstract 272: Preliminary Data from RESOLVE (Rapid Evaluation for Stroke Outcomes using Lytics in Vascular Events) Study Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Preliminary findings showed that less than half of the patients and CG felt the education was clear. However additional interviews are planned. Preliminary insights suggest an opportunity to use an individualized risk and benefit decision tool to inform and engage patients and CG regarding treatment decisions. We believe this can be accomplished without increasing the door to needle time in administration of rt-PA.

Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in South Asians in the United States: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Treatments: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
cial Populations Committee of the Council on Clinical Cardiology; Council on Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing; Council on Quality of Care and Outcomes Research; and Stroke Council Abstract South Asians (from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) make up one quarter of the world's population and are one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups in the United States. Although native South Asians share genetic and cultural risk factors with South Asians abroad, South Asians in the United States can differ in socioeconomic status, education, healthcare behaviors, attitudes, and health in...

Atrial Fibrillation After Ischemic Stroke Detected by Chest Strap-Style 7-Day Holter Monitoring and the Risk Predictors: EDUCATE-ESUS.
CONCLUSIONS: In recent ESUS patients, the detection rate of AF using the 7-day Holter monitoring was 6.8% (95% CI 4.1%-11.1%). Brain natriuretic peptide, APC count, and APC short runs in the standard clinical workup seemed to be predictors of covert AF. PMID: 32801289 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Abstract 325: Paradoxical Relationship Between Bleeding Risk, Stroke Risk, and Time in Therapeutic Range for Atrial Fibrillation Patients on Warfarin: Data from ORBIT-AF Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: In US clinical practices, warfarin patients have therapeutic INR levels about 2/3 of the time. Those at highest risk for stroke and bleeding paradoxically were the least likely to be in the therapeutic range.

Less Educated Smokers at Higher Stroke Risk (CME/CE)
(MedPage Today) -- The combination of a low level of education -- a marker of socioeconomic status -- with smoking appears to increase risk of stroke, especially in men, according to one of the first studies to analyze social inequality and stroke risk.

Effects of Concurrent Depressive Symptoms and Perceived Stress on Cardiovascular Risk in Low- and High-Income Participants: Findings From the Reasons for Geographical and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study Epidemiology
BackgroundPsychosocial risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) may be especially deleterious in persons with low socioeconomic status. Most work has focused on psychosocial factors individually, but emerging research suggests that the confluence of psychosocial risk may be particularly harmful. Using data from the Reasons for Geographical and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study, we examined associations among depressive symptoms and stress, alone and in combination, and incident CVD and all‐cause mortality as a function of socioeconomic status.Methods and ResultsAt baseline, 22 658 participants without a history ...

PCSK9 Variants, LDL-Cholesterol, and Neurocognitive Impairment: The REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study.
Conclusions -These results suggest life-long exposure to low PCSK9 levels and cumulative exposure to lower LDL-C are not associated with neurocognitive effects in African Americans. PMID: 29146683 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Embedding Best Evidence Cultural and Clinical Stroke Care in Training
Cultural change within hospitals is difficult, and discussions around provision of care to meet the needs of Aboriginal patients can be fraught with challenges, despite evidence of disparities in hospital care and poorer health and social post-hospital outcomes. The Department for Health and Wellbeing sought to develop an evidence-based education package for health care staff to support improvements in the provision of in-hospital stroke care for and with Aboriginal stroke patients and family.

Assessing and Addressing Cardiovascular Health in LGBTQ Adults: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Council on Peripheral Vascular Disease; and Stroke Council Abstract There is mounting evidence that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) adults experience disparities across several cardiovascular risk factors compared with their cisgender heterosexual peers. These disparities are posited to be driven primarily by exposure to psychosocial stressors across the life span. This American Heart Association scientific statement reviews the extant literature on the cardiovascular health of LGBTQ adults. Informed by the minority stress and social ecological models, the objectives of this s...

Number of Social Determinants of Health and Fatal and Nonfatal Incident Coronary Heart Disease in the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study.
Conclusions: A greater burden of SDH was associated with a graded increase in risk of incident CHD, with greater magnitude and independent associations for fatal incident CHD. Counting the number of SDH may be a promising approach that could be incorporated into clinical care to identify individuals at high risk of CHD. PMID: 33269599 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Percutaneous management of acute ischaemic stroke
Learning objectives To understand both the rationale and principles behind percutaneous management of stroke. To be aware of the evidence base for this treatment. To appreciate the current logistical challenges and how they might be overcome. Introduction In principle, the similarity between opening an occluded cerebral artery and an occluded coronary artery, when the perfusion to that organ is acutely compromised, is inescapable: to re-establish antegrade flow as quickly as possible to minimise downstream damage. There are, of course, important differences between an acute myocardial infarction (MI) and an acute ischaemic...
