Polypill for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (PolyIran): study design and rationale for a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial
Conclusion The infrastructure of GCS and the primary health care system in Iran enabled the conduct of this pragmatic large-scale trial. If the polypill strategy proves effective, it may be implemented to prevent cardiovascular disease in developing countries.

Metabolic syndrome impairs reactivity and wall mechanics of cerebral resistance arteries in obese zucker rats.
This study determined the structural and functional changes to the middle cerebral arteries (MCA) during the progression of MetS, and the effects of chronic pharmacological interventions on mitigating vascular alterations in obese Zucker rats (OZR), a translationally-relevant model of MetS. The reactivity and wall mechanics of ex vivo pressurized MCA from lean Zucker rats (LZR) and OZR was determined at 7-8, 12-13 and 16-17 weeks of age under control conditions and following chronic treatment with pharmacological agents targeting specific systemic pathologies. With increasing age, control OZR demonstrated reduced nitric ox...

Statins Promote Long-Term Recovery after Ischemic Stroke by Reconnecting Noradrenergic Neuronal Circuitry.
This study investigated the effects of statins on the recovery of NA neuron circuitry and its function after transient focal cerebral ischemia (tFCI). Using the wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) transgene technique combined with the recombinant adenoviral vector system, NA-specific neuronal pathways were labeled, and were identified in the locus coeruleus (LC), where NA neurons originate. NA circuitry in the atorvastatin-treated group recovered faster than in the vehicle-treated group. The damaged NA circuitry was partly reorganized with the gradual recovery of autonomic dysfunction and neurobehavioral deficit. Newly proliferate...

Comparative effects of more versus less aggressive treatment with statins on the long-term outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke
There are no studies that compared the effects of different intensities of statin treatment on the long-term outcome of patients with recent ischemic stroke. We aimed to evaluate these effects. Methods: We prospectively studied 436 consecutive patients who were discharged after acute ischemic stroke (39.2% males, age 78.6±6.7 years). Statin treatment was categorized in equipotent doses of atorvastatin. One year after discharge, the functional status was assessed with the modified Rankin scale (mRS).

Acute perioperative-stress-induced increase of atherosclerotic plaque volume and vulnerability to rupture in apolipoprotein-E-deficient mice is amenable to statin treatment and IL-6 inhibition RESEARCH ARTICLE
ABSTRACT Myocardial infarction and stroke are frequent after surgical procedures and consume a considerable amount of benefit of surgical therapy. Perioperative stress, induced by surgery, is composed of hemodynamic and inflammatory reactions. The effects of perioperative stress on atherosclerotic plaques are ill-defined. Murine models to investigate the influence of perioperative stress on plaque stability and rupture are not available. We developed a model to investigate the influence of perioperative stress on plaque growth and stability by exposing apolipoprotein-E-deficient mice, fed a high cholesterol diet for 7 ...

Early treatment with atorvastatin exerts parenchymal and vascular protective effects in experimental cerebral ischemia
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONSAcute atorvastatin provides global cerebral protection, but only at the higher dose of 20 mg/kg/d, related to a reduction of inflammation in both vascular and parenchymal compartments. Our results suggest that atorvastatin could also be beneficial when administered early after stroke.

Neuroprotective effects and dynamic expressions of MMP9 and TIMP1 associated with atorvastatin pretreatment in ischemia–reperfusion rats
In conclusion, Oral administration of atorvastatin before stroke may reduce the severity in I/R injury and improve neurological outcome by lowering MMP9 levels and elevating TIMP1 levels.

Clinical Reasoning: A 66-year-old man with recurrent multi-territory infarcts
A 66-year-old man was referred to our center for evaluation of recurrent infarcts in multiple vascular territories over the preceding 6 months (figure 1). The patient first presented with a 3-month, stuttering course of transient neurologic deficits, including right arm and leg hemiparesis, expressive aphasia, and right homonymous hemianopia. He was initially evaluated at a community Stroke Prevention Clinic. His medical history was significant for several classic vascular risk factors: coronary artery disease requiring a coronary artery bypass graft, dyslipidemia for which he was taking atorvastatin 20 mg daily, and obstr...

Fasting Triglycerides Predict Recurrent Ischemic Events in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Treated With Statins
ConclusionsAmong patients with ACS treated effectively with statins, fasting triglycerides predict long-term and short-term cardiovascular risk. Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins may be an important additional target for therapy. (A Study of RO4607381 in Stable Coronary Heart Disease Patients With Recent Acute Coronary Syndrome; NCT00658515)

High-intensity statin therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions High-intensity statin therapy could effectively reduce the risk of stroke in patients with CKD. However, its effects on all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, heart failure and renal protection remain unclear. Moreover, it is hard to draw conclusions on the safety assessment of intensive statin treatment in this particular population. More studies are needed to credibly evaluate the effects of high-intensity statin therapy in patients with CKD.

Excessive range of statin dose in Western Australian primary care
ConclusionThe extraordinarily wide variation in statin dose is at odds with the more consistent doses of other drugs used in the management of arterial disease. Unnecessarily high statin dosing increases side effects and may not improve clinical outcomes appreciably. Rational prescribing of statins based on the pharmacodynamic evidence, with lower doses in most patients, combined with close attention to reduction of smoking, blood pressure and weight is likely to reduce arterial disease most efficiently and safely.

Crossed Subcortical Aphasia (P1.048)
CONCLUSIONS: This patient is a rare case in which right-sided subcortical damage results in aphasia. The most comprehensive evidence on language lateralization comes from functional studies of healthy adults that differ in their degree of handedness. It appears that the degree of right-handedness correlates, with the degree of left hemisphere language dominance.Disclosure: Dr. Murray has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kase has nothing to disclose.
