Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Stroke: Determining the Mechanisms Behind their Association and Treatment Options
Transl Stroke Res. 2023 Mar 16. doi: 10.1007/s12975-023-01123-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSleep-disordered breathing (SDB) can be a sequela of stroke caused by vascular injury to vital respiratory centers, cerebral edema, and increased intracranial pressure of space-occupying lesions. Likewise, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) contributes to increased stroke risk through local mechanisms such as impaired ischemic cerebrovascular response and systemic effects such as promoting atherosclerosis, hypercoagulability, cardiac arrhythmias, vascular-endothelial dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome. The impact of OSA on stroke out...

Cardiac arrhythmias in stroke unit patients. Evaluation of the cardiac monitoring data
Conclusions Systematic cardiac monitoring in patients with acute stroke is useful for detecting clinically relevant cardiac arrhythmias. Incidence of arrhythmia is higher in the first 48hours after stroke unit admission. Age and lesion size were predicted appearance of arrhythmias. Detection of cardiac arrhythmias in a stroke unit has important implications for treatment.

Stroke: Advances in Medical Therapy and Acute Stroke Intervention
Abstract Evidence-based therapeutic options for stroke continue to emerge based on results from well-designed clinical studies. Ischemic stroke far exceeds hemorrhagic stroke in terms of prevalence and incidence, both in the USA and worldwide. The public health effect of reducing death and disability related to ischemic stroke justifies the resources that have been invested in identifying safe and effective treatments. The emergence of novel oral anticoagulants for ischemic stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation has introduced complexity to clinical decision making for patients with this common cardiac arrhythm...

Incidence and Predictors of Unprovoked Seizures after Stroke (S12.007)
Conclusions: The incidence of unprovoked seizures is among the highest reported in patients with first-ever stroke. The prospective design is a possible explanation. Older age, cortical lesion and higher functional disability are predictors of unprovoked seizures.Study supported by Regione Emilia-Romagna, Progetto Strategico "Stroke Care".The Epistroke Group: L.Delaj, R.D'Alessandro, S.Beretta, D.Consoli, V.Crespi, C.Gandolfo, G.Greco, A.LaNeve, M.Manfredi, P.

Should We Judge Stroke Risk by Static or Dynamic Risk Scores? A Focus on the Dynamic Nature of Stroke and Bleeding Risks in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia and a major risk factor for stroke. The number of patients with AF is predicted to increase in the next few decades. AF has also negative impact on quality of life as well as it significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and overall mortality. Because the stroke is a pivotal outcome of AF, its prevention with the use of anticoagulation therapy constitutes an important component of AF management. The decision on oral anticoagulants' prescription should be based on appropriate risk stratification to allow for comprehensive assessmen...

Effects of Stroke on the Autonomic Nervous System.
Authors: Dorrance AM, Fink G Abstract Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and the second most common cause of death worldwide; stroke is also the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. It is clear that the consequences of cerebral ischemia reach beyond the brain into the periphery, and a significant number of stroke related deaths are the result of conditions that develop poststroke in the periphery. The two leading causes of non-neurogenic death poststroke are cardiac abnormalities and infections. Changes in autonomic nervous system function that favor increased sympathetic n...

Association of ventricular arrhythmia and in-hospital mortality in stroke patients in Florida: A nonconcurrent prospective study
Abstract: Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Current evidence identified electrocardiographic abnormalities and cardiac arrhythmias in 50% of patients with an acute stroke. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the presence of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in adult patients hospitalized in Florida with acute stroke increased the risk of in-hospital mortality. Secondary data analysis of 215,150 patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke hospitalized in the state of Florida collected by the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration from 2008 to 2012. The main outcome for th...

Atrial fibrillation and stroke: importance of left atrium as assessed by echocardiography
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, which has been increasing dramatically. AF has unfavorable consequences, such as stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular death. Of these, stroke has been considered to be the serious complication. Recently, direct oral anticoagulation or new technologies, such as the WATCHMAN left atrium (LA) appendage closure device, have emerged to prevent stroke. Therefore, the accurate estimation of thromboembolic risk and appropriate prevention are essential for high-risk patients with AF. Although CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores has been widely used to...

Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: An Asian perspective.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. In 2050, it is estimated that there will be 72 million AF patients in Asia, accounting for almost 2.9 million patients suffering from AF-associated stroke. Asian AF patients share similar risk factor profiles as non-Asians, except that more Asians have a history of previous stroke. Clinical challenges are evident in the field of stroke prevention in AF, amongst Asians. Existing stroke and bleeding risk scores have not been well-validated in Asians. Asians are prone to bleeding when treated with warfarin, and the optimal internationa...

Clinical and pathogenic features of ischemic stroke among representatives of different gender and age groups
Abstract A total of 1410 patients with ischemic stroke (IS) of four main clinical and pathogenic subtypes, viz., atherothrombotic, cardioembolic, hemodynamic, and lacunar strokes, were studied. We analyzed the dependence of the pathogenic subtype of the stroke, its background pathologies, and stroke risk factors on the age and gender of the patients. It was found that senior patients were more susceptible to atherothrombotic ischemic strokes and patients of working age more frequently suffered from lacunar and hemodynamic strokes, although cases of atherothrombotic strokes in this age cohort were more often obser...
