Secondary stroke prevention after TIA or ischemic stroke
Herz. 2021 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s00059-021-05035-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is one of the main causes of mortality and permanent disability. Secondary prevention of stroke recurrence therefore has a high priority. Secondary prevention of ischemic stroke includes optimization of the lifestyle and diet, treatment of risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia, prophylaxis of recurrence with antiplatelet treatment in patients with high vascular risk and anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation. In addition, secondary prevention includes carotid surgery or stenting in selected symptomati...

Long-term dietary supplementation with plant-derived omega-3 fatty acid improves outcome in experimental ischemic stroke
Early revascularization -the gold standard therapy for ischemic stroke-is often withheld in the elderly population due to high risk of complications. Thus, safe and effective preventive and therapeutic options are needed. The plant-derived omega-3-fatty-acid alpha-linolenic-acid (ALA) has emerged as a potential cardiovascular-protective agent. As of yet, little is known about its potential therapeutic effects on stroke. We hereby aimed to investigate the impact of a clinically relevant long-term dietary intervention with ALA on stroke outcome.

Hypertension: Do Inflammation and Immunity Hold the Key to Solving this Epidemic?
Circ Res. 2021 Apr 2;128(7):908-933. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.121.318052. Epub 2021 Apr 1.ABSTRACTElevated cardiovascular risk including stroke, heart failure, and heart attack is present even after normalization of blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Underlying immune cell activation is a likely culprit. Although immune cells are important for protection against invading pathogens, their chronic overactivation may lead to tissue damage and high blood pressure. Triggers that may initiate immune activation include viral infections, autoimmunity, and lifestyle factors such as excess dietary salt. These conditions ac...
