Mitral annular calcification as a predictor of stroke in the multiethnic study of atherosclerosis
CONCLUSION: MAC is an independent predictor of long-term stroke risk in a racially diverse population beyond conventional cardiovascular risk factors and atrial fibrillation.PMID:37409651 | DOI:10.2459/JCM.0000000000001524

Potential Utility of Multidetector Computed Tomography to Identify both Cardiac Embolic Sources and Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Embolic Stroke
Conclusions: Our results suggest that MDCT has potential to identify both cardiac embolic sources and CAD in patients with embolic stroke but without known CAD.Cardiology 2016;133:205-210

S100β as a biomarker for differential diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: S100β could serve as a potential biomarker for differentiating between ICH and IS and predicting short-term functional outcome after ICH. PMID: 27078704 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in Stroke Patients
The predictive value of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in stroke patients has not yet been established. We investigated the prognostic value of coronary artery disease (CAD) detection by CCTA, and determined the incremental risk stratification benefit of CCTA findings as compared to coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) in ischemic stroke patients without chest pain.

Increased Risk for Intracranial Arterial Stenosis in Subjects With Coronary Artery Calcification Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The risk for ICAS was significantly increased in middle-aged Korean subjects with CAC compared with that in those without CAC. These findings suggest the possibility of a separate undetected atherosclerotic focus in subjects with 1 atherosclerotic event.

Coronary artery calcium score as a predictor for incident stroke: Systematic review and meta-analysis
The objective of this study was to investigate the predictive value of CACS obtained by non-contrast electrocardiogram-gated computed tomography for incident stroke.

Observation of Clinical Efficacy of Anisodamine and Chlorpromazine in the Treatment of Intractable Hiccup after Stroke
CONCLUSION: The combination of 2D K-L divergence and MPSO algorithm could improve the accuracy of multilayer image segmentation and CT imaging. Acupoint injection of anisodamine combined with chlorpromazine had better efficacy than the injection of anisodamine alone for the treatment of intractable hiccups after stroke, with high safety and clinical promotion value.PMID:35915796 | PMC:PMC9338746 | DOI:10.1155/2022/6563193

Relationship between sleep disordered breathing and coronary artery calcium in ischemic stroke patients
Introduction: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular mortality. In ischemic patients, the major cause of death during follow-up is coronary artery disease. Coronary calcium score (CAC) is a score measured from quantification of calcified plaques with chest computed tomography. CAC has been shown to be associated with future risk of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality. Several studies showed the positive correlation between sleep apnea and CAC in normal population, which may be contributed by progressive worsening of atherosclerosis.

Correlation Between Intracranial Arterial Calcification and Imaging of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Conclusion: Intracranial artery calcification is common in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and the intracranial carotid artery is most frequently affected. Intracranial arterial calcifications might be associated with imaging markers of SVD and are highly correlated with WMHs, lacunes, and CMBs. Quantification of calcification on CT provides additional information on the pathophysiology of SVD. Intracranial arterial calcification could act as a potential marker of SVD. Introduction Atherosclerosis is a systemic vascular process that is considered a major cause of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular di...

Extracranial Carotid Plaque Calcification and Cerebrovascular Ischemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of calcification in carotid plaque confers a reduced association with ipsilateral ischemic events, although these results seem to be limited among carotid arteries with higher degrees of stenosis. Adoption of carotid calcification measures in clinical decision-making will require additional studies providing more reproducible and standardized methods of calcium characterization and testing these imaging strategies in prospective studies.PMID:37638399 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.123.042807

Tau, S100B and NSE as Blood Biomarkers in Acute Cerebrovascular Events
Conclusion: For the diagnosis of TIA vs. AIS, blood T-tau and S100B concentrations discriminated only modestly. Additionally, groups were not separable after measuring of T-tau and S100B levels in the blood. T-tau and S100B concentrations correlated with the infarct size, but were not alone predictive for functional outcome at 3 months.
