Reply Effects of Habitual Coffee Consumption on Vascular Function
We thank Dr. Siasos and colleagues for pointing out that habitual coffee consumption has been associated with improved endothelial function in elderly inhabitants of Ikaria Island (1). The improvement in endothelial function may in part account for the associations of moderate coffee intake (about 2 to 4 cups daily) with lower risks for coronary heart disease and stroke (2). Indeed, even in the setting of endothelium damage, coffee has the ability to prevent arterial thrombus formation, a benefit that is independent of its caffeine content (3). Recent studies also indicate that moderate daily coffee intake may confer pro...

Predictors of Long-Term Recurrent Vascular Events after Ischemic Stroke at Young Age: The Italian Project on Stroke in Young Adults.
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with IS aged 18 to 45 years, the long-term risk of recurrent thrombotic events is associated with modifiable, age-specific, risk factors. The IPSYS score may serve as a simple tool for risk estimation.

Darwin and the patent foramen ovale phenotype
I read with great interest the recent review in the International Journal of Cardiology by Leong et al. on issues related to patent foramen ovale (PFO) occlusion. The article reviews the evidences of the link between PFO and cryptogenic stroke, migraine and decompression illness, supporting the concept that this association is based only on observational studies and, thus, it is impossible to draw any cause–effect relationship. Furthermore, no evidence recommends PFO closure in such patients since prospective studies available are questionable from the methodological point of view (e.g. confounding factors, statistics un...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Transesophageal Echocardiogram for the Detection of Patent Foramen Ovale: A Meta‐Analysis
ConclusionWhile TEE bubble study is considered to be the gold standard modality for diagnosing PFO, some PFOs may still be missed or misdiagnosed. It is important to understand the limitations of TEE and perhaps use other highly sensitive screening tests, such as transcranial doppler (TCD), in conjunction with TEE before scheduling a patient for transcatheter PFO closure.

Effect of Percutaneous Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale on Post-Procedural Arrhythmias
Atrial arrhythmias after percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, including atrial fibrillation (AF), has been consistently reported in different series suggesting a causal link between mechanical closure of PFO and the new onset of post-procedural arrhythmias (1,2,3). We have systematically assessed the effect of percutaneous PFO closure upon the development of post-procedural arrhythmias in 221 consecutive patients (144 women; mean age 48 ± 13 years) undergoing percutaneous PFO closure. At clinical evaluation, no patient had symptoms indicative or suggestive of arrhythmias. Indications for closure were the prese...

Evaluation of blood pressure measurements in first ambulatory neurological consultations: A missed part of the physical examination?
CONCLUSION: Blood pressure registration was frequently omitted from the first neurological consultation, particularly in outpatients who might need it the most.
