Lipoprotein(a) levels and atherosclerotic plaque characteristics in the carotid artery: The Plaque at rISK (PARISK) study
Lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and recurrent ischemic stroke. Lipoprotein(a) levels are known to be associated with carotid artery stenosis, but the relation of lipoprotein(a) levels to carotid atherosclerotic plaque composition and morphology is less known. We hypothesize that higher lipoprotein(a) levels and lipoprotein(a)-related SNPs are associated with a more vulnerable carotid plaque and that this effect is sex-specific.

Psychosocial factors and subsequent risk of hospitalizations with peripheral artery disease: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
Psychosocial factors are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, associations with peripheral artery disease (PAD) remain uncharacterized. We aimed to compare associations of psychosocial factors with the risk of PAD and two other major atherosclerotic CVD: coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke, in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.

Leukocytes, platelets and cardiovascular diseases
We read with great interest the recent article in Atherosclerosis by Xu et al. [1]. In a large prospective study comprising 13,929 middle age and elderly individuals of Chinese descent, they showed that the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), the product of the neutrophil count x platelet count x lymphocyte count, predicted total stroke, ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke over a median follow-up of 8.3 years using multivariate Cox regression analyses [1]. Although there was a threefold increase in coronary heart disease (CAD), SII did not predict CAD or acute coronary syndromes (ACS).

Association between geriatric nutritional risk index and stroke risk in hemodialysis patients: 10-years outcome of the Q-Cohort study
The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), which is calculated using the serum albumin level and body mass index, is a nutritional marker associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients who are receiving hemodialysis. However, no studies have examined the association between the GNRI level and the incidence of stroke in this population.

Weight change during middle age and risk of stroke and coronary heart disease: The Japan Public Health Center –based Prospective Study
The impact of weight changes in middle age on the incidence of cardiovascular disease has not been well elucidated. We investigated whether a 5-year weight change was associated with risk of stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) in middle-aged individuals.

Acute ischemic stroke versus transient ischemic attack: Differential plaque morphological features in symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic lesions
Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is a major etiologic cause for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA). The study was designed to investigate if differential morphological features exist in symptomatic atherosclerotic lesions between AIS and TIA patients.

Sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors and risk of incident stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background and Aims: Although experimental studies have suggested a potential neuroprotective effect of sodium-glucose contransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, human trials have demonstrated controversial results regarding their effect on the risk of stroke. In this context, we evaluated published evidence regarding the effect of treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors on the risk of ischemic stroke.

Low level of HDL as a predictor of development of new cases of myocardial infarction, stroke and death from cardiovascular diseases in the Belarusian urban population
Background and Aims: The aim of the study was to determine the impact of low HDL level on the development of new cases of myocardial infarction, stroke and death from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the Belarusian urban population.

Leukotriene receptor antagonists role in recuding the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk: A case-control study in southern Spain
Background and Aims: Leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) are used in asthmatic patients, however different studies indicate that LTRAs can decrease intimal hyperplasia after vascular injury, and have a protective role in cerebral ischemia. The aim of our study was to assess the role of LTRAs in reducing myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke (IS) risk in patients from two Primary Health Care Centers of Granada.

Effect of non-adherence of evidence-based medication prescribing on major adverse cardiovascular events among acute coronary syndrome patients
Background and Aims: Combination therapy with evidence-based medicines, including 4 groups of medication: dual antiplatelet, beta-blocker, ACEI /ARB, and statin, could reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality among patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and stroke during the first year of discharge between ACS patients received 4 groups and those did not receive at least 1 medication group.

Statins and beta blockers - The most frequently encountered potential prescribing omissions in rural Romanian elderly population
Background and Aims: Cardiovascular diseases (ischaemic heart diseases and stroke) are the leading cause of death in Romania, the death rate of ischaemic heart disease being three times higher than in European Union. The aim of this study was to identify potential prescribing omissions (PPOs) and to determine their prevalence based on the STOPP / START v.2, 2015, criteria for patients over the age of 65 years old.

Hyperlipidemia as a stroke risk factor: Study of patients from northwest of Iran from 2008 to 2013
Background and Aims: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide; and hyperlipidemia is one of its major risk factors. Hyperlipidemia is reported to have an etiologic role for small-vessel disease, significantly increasing risk of ischemic stroke, as well as having a limited role in intracranial hemorrhage. Dyslipidemia has been long recognized as a risk factor for coronary artery disease but its role in stroke has become increasingly apparent over the past decade.

Effect of intravenous thrombolysis in stroke depends on pattern of intracranial internal carotid artery calcification
The pattern of intracranial internal carotid artery calcification (ICAC) has been identified as an effect modifier of endovascular treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke, but it is unclear whether it modifies the effect of intravenous thrombolysis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between intravenous thrombolysis and 90-day clinical outcome, follow-up infarct volume, intracranial hemorrhage and recanalization across different patterns of ICAC.
