Determinants of Stroke Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Acute Myocardial Infarction (from ORPKI Polish National Registry)
Both hemorrhagic and ischemic cerebrovascular events are rare but serious complications after acute myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary angiography / percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The most threatening one is intracranial hemorrhage related to antiplatelet and antithrombotic treatment of acute MI. In up to 10% of patients with acute MI ischemic stroke can result from embolisation of intraventricular or intraatrial thrombi [1]. It may occur within the first 2weeks, but also as early as in the first 24h.

A time-series analysis of the relation between unemployment rate and hospital admission for acute myocardial infarction and stroke in Brazil over more than a decade
The effect of socioeconomic stressors on the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is currently open to debate. Using time-series analysis, our study aimed to evaluate the relationship between unemployment rate and hospital admission for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke in Brazil over a recent 11-year span.

Meta-analysis of ATRIA versus CHA2DS2-VASc for predicting stroke and thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation
Several studies have compared the discriminative performances of CHA2DS2-VASc and ATRIA scores, but the results are still disputed. Therefore, we aimed to explore their predictive abilities regarding stroke and thromboembolism (TE) risk in AF patients.

Vitamin D and Cardiovascular Disease: From atherosclerosis to myocardial infarction and stroke
There continues to be interest in understanding the role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis, epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In fact vitamin D deficiency has been associated to an increased risk of developing CVD given to the relationship between low vitamin D levels and obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, endothelial dysfunction and hypertension. However, although vitamin D has been identified as a potentially important marker of CVD, the mechanisms through which vitamin D deficiency leads from endothelial dysfunction to myocardial infarction and stroke are not fully understood.

Postoperative ischemic stroke and death prediction with CHA2DS2-VASc score in patients having coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: A nationwide cohort study
This nationwide cohort study was attempted to address the predictive role of CHA2DS2-VASc score in both ischemic stroke and death in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.

Effects of early age at natural menopause on coronary heart disease and stroke in Chinese women
The objective of the study was to explore the associations between early age at natural menopause (menopause at an age ≤45 years) and the presence of CHD and stroke.

Association of elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure with stroke and systemic embolic events in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
This study aimed to determine whether elevated PASP is associated with stroke and systemic embolic events in a tertiary referral HCM cohort.

Long-term Detection of Atrial Fibrillation with Insertable Cardiac Monitors in a Real-world Cryptogenic Stroke Population
The long-term incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients has been explored in carefully controlled clinical trials but real-world data are limited. We investigated the two-year incidence of AF in real-world clinical practice among a large cohort of patients with an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) placed for AF detection following CS.

Patent foramen ovale closure vs. medical therapy for recurrent stroke prevention: Evolution of treatment effect during follow-up
Little is known regarding changes in treatment effect over time associated with patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure among patients with embolic stroke of unknown origin.

Quality of life after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale in patients after cryptogenic stroke compared to a normative sample
Despite the widespread use of percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients after a cryptogenic stroke, little is known about its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of this study was to assess HRQoL in these patients compared to PFO patients not considered candidates for percutaneous closure, and to a normal population.

Carotid artery stenosis at the time of coronary artery bypass grafting is a risk factor but not a cause for peri-operative stroke
Narayan et al. evaluated whether or not carotid artery screening at the time of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) influences neurological outcomes [1]. Two of the four strokes in the group with moderate/severe carotid stenosis occurred on the ipsilateral side of the carotid artery lesion, while two were in areas not related to the side of the carotid artery stenosis. In the group with no significant carotid artery stenosis, 18 patients had a stroke of which 16 were ischemic and 2 were hemorrhagic [1].

Patent foramen ovale after cryptogenic stroke: When is it justifiable to close it?
The incidence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been reported as high as 27% [1]. A strong association between cryptogenic stroke and PFO suggested that paradoxical embolism may be the culprit for such unexplained strokes. Several pathophysiological hypotheses have been proposed to explain paradoxical embolism: right ventricular dysfunction or decreased compliance, preferential flow from the inferior vena cava through the PFO, sometimes associated with an exuberant Eustachian valve or clot formation within an aneurysmal septum [2].

Net clinical benefit of patent foramen ovale closure in patients with cryptogenic stroke: Meta-analysis and meta-regression of randomized trials
Controlled randomized trials (CRTs) comparing the efficacy of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure and medical therapy in patients with cryptogenic stroke have yielded heterogeneous results. No data are available on the net clinical benefit with the two strategies.
