Stroke And Cerebrovascular Risk Factors Knowledge In Patients Admitted To A Cardiovascular Ward. (P1.135)
Conclusion: Even in these selected population, with previous or current CVD, a large amount of RF and a high rate of previous medical consultations, knowledge about stroke showed to be very low indicating a poor quality of preventive measures and the need to emphasize educational interventions.Disclosure: Dr. Muñoz has nothing to disclose.

Relation of Left Atrial Dysfunction to Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease (from the Heart and Soul Study)
In conclusion, LA dysfunction is an independent risk factor for stroke or TIA, even in patients without baseline AF.

IJERPH, Vol. 12, Pages 12618-12627: Lower Risk of Stroke after Deformity Surgery: Long Term Benefit Demonstrated by a National Cohort Study
Conclusions: In this national cohort of more than 13,000 ASD patients covering 10 years, stroke was approximately 25% less likely to happen in patients who underwent spinal fusion surgery than those who received medical management. Therefore, spinal fusion surgery may provide a protective effect against stroke in adult patients with spinal deformity.

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.

Impact of atrial high-rate episodes on the risk of future stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Embolic stroke events are common in Japanese patients with CIEDs. AF events lasting ≥30s and an enlarged left atrium are the risk factors of embolic stroke in this population. PMID: 30728105 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Speech disturbance at stroke onset is correlated with stroke early mortality
Background: Speech disturbance is a common symptom of stroke and is important as a prompt identifier of the event. The frequency of the symptom among each stroke subtype, differences between patients with and without speech disturbance and its correlation to early mortality remain unclear. Methods: The Kyoto prefecture of Japan has established a registry to enroll new stroke patients in cooperation with the Kyoto Medical Association and its affiliated hospitals. It is named the Kyoto Stroke Registry (KSR). We confirmed the existence or absence of speech disturbance in 1693 stroke patients registered to the KSR and investig...

Usefulness of Left Atrial Appendage Volume as a Predictor of Embolic Stroke in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
In conclusion, larger LAA volume is associated with stroke in the setting of AF, and this measure can potentially improve risk stratification for stroke risk management in AF patients.

Detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or flutter in patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack by Holter monitoring.
CONCLUSION: Screening consecutive patients with ischemic stroke with routine Holter monitoring will identify new atrial fibrillation/flutter in approximately one in 17 patients. Older age and type of stroke are strongly associated with increased risk. By carefully selecting the patients, the detection rates could be further increased. PMID: 24814113 [PubMed - in process]

Preoperative risk factor analysis of postoperative stroke after Cox-maze procedure with mitral valve repair
Conclusions: In the group of patients who underwent the Cox-Maze procedure with mitral valve repair, having a stroke history was the only preoperative risk factor that could lead to a stroke event after surgery. Accordingly, patients with affliction of ischemic stroke, albeit sustained sinus rhythm, may require prophylactic anticoagulation.

Clinical features in liver cirrhosis patients who have experienced ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Our results show that a comparatively high frequency of ischemic stroke occurs in patients with alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis and in patients with a less compromised liver function. In addition, it was found that most patients possessed at least one risk factor of ischemic stroke. PMID: 25599784 [PubMed - in process]

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...

Stroke prevention in AF patients in Poland and other European countries: insights from the GARFIELD-AF registry.
CONCLUSIONS: The GARFIELD-AF Registry data shows how distant every day clinical practice is from the guidelines. It shows that still in Poland, as well as in the rest of Europe, too many patients with low stroke risk are treated with anticoagulants, while too frequently patients at the high stroke risk are left with no stroke prevention. Although the tendency to use non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants grows comparably in Poland and in the rest of Europe, the proportion of patients with intermediate and high stroke risk does not grow and more patients at low stroke risk are treated with anticoagulants.

Dairy Consumption and Risk of Stroke: A Systematic Review and Updated Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology
Conclusions Milk and cheese consumption were inversely associated with stroke risk. Results should be placed in the context of the observed heterogeneity. Future epidemiological studies should provide more details about dairy types, including fat content. In addition, the role of dairy in Asian populations deserves further attention.
