Coronary artery disease, left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction are associated with stroke in patients affected by persistent non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a case-control study.
Authors: Palmiero P, Maiello M, Passantino A Abstract Persistent non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke, and its rate is expected to rise because of the ageing population. The absolute rate of stroke depends on age and comorbidity. Risk stratification for stroke in patients with NVAF derives from populations enrolled in randomized clinical trials. However, participants in clinical trials are often not representative of the general population. Many stroke risk stratification scores have been used, but they do not include transthoracic echo...

Combined administration of the GPVI-Fc fusion protein Revacept with low-dose thrombolysis in the treatment of stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to using the equally effective full dose of rtPA, intracranial bleeding was not increased by low-dose rtPA combined with Revacept. Therefore, addition of Revacept to low-dose rtPA does not incur safety risks, but improves efficacy of treatment. PMID: 27924212 [PubMed - in process]

The Hype Surrounding Patent Foramen Ovale Closure and Cryptogenic Stroke: A Walk Through History
This article is the first of a multi-part review and will detail the history of PFO closure and the clinical trials that have evaluated the efficacy of PFO device closure. Data favour PFO closure in CS for reducing stroke in appropriate patients and should be considered as a treatment modality.PMID:36275353 | PMC:PMC9524620 | DOI:10.17925/HI.2022.16.1.59
