Cardiovascular diseases in patients 65 years and younger with non-cardiogenic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Aetiologically heterogeneous stroke and cardiogenic stroke are the most commonly observed among young stroke patients. Cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation are the most common sources of cerebral embolism in young patients with cardiogenic stroke. Nearly 1/5 of patients with a non-cardiogenic stroke have congenital or acquired structural changes in the heart.

Improvement of survival in Polish stroke patients is related to reduced stroke severity and better control of risk factors: the Krakow Stroke Database.
CONCLUSIONS: Reduced stroke severity is associated with better recognition and control of risk factors and explains the improvement of survival in Polish stroke patients.

Hyperglycemia and diabetes have different impacts on outcome of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Hyperglycemia on admission is associated with worsened clinical outcome and increased risk of in-hospital death in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients. Diabetes increased the risk of in-hospital death in hemorrhagic stroke patients, but not in ischemic ones.

Beneficial effects of pre-stroke statins use in cardioembolic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation: a hospital-based retrospective analysis.
Conclusions: Despite the predominant use of statins in atherothrombotic stroke patients, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of statins in cardioembolic stroke patients. Detailed cardiovascular screening for statin therapy should be carried out in all AF patients with regard to primary and secondary stroke prevention.

Changes in pre-hospital management of vascular risk factors among patients admitted due to recurrent stroke in Poland from 1995 to 2013.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate a clear overall improvement of secondary stroke prevention. However, persistent use of antithrombotic drugs and tobacco smoking after the first ischemic stroke is constantly suboptimal.

Prior transient ischemic attacks may have a neuroprotective effect in patients with ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Prior transient ischemic attacks may have a neuroprotective effect on the subsequent ischemic stroke, and this effect might be affected by the characteristics of TIAs. Patients with TIAs of low frequency, short duration and short interval are considered to have better neurological outcomes.

The impact of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia on plasma P-selectin and platelet markers after ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia exert an equal stimulatory effect on tested platelet markers but with no synergistic action in stroke patients with both of the metabolic comorbidities. sP-selectin concentration in stroke patients best reflects the impact of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia on vascular lesions and platelet activation.

Relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipid-lowering agents and risk of stroke: a meta-analysis of observational studies ( < em > n < /em > = 355,591) and randomized controlled trials ( < em > n < /em > = 165,988)
CONCLUSIONS: Our study sheds light on the debatable association between low LDL-C and different type of strokes. This information can help determine the optimal LDL-C range for stroke prevention, and help plan future LLA studies.PMID:35832716 | PMC:PMC9266957 | DOI:10.5114/aoms/145970
