Stroke Mortality Among Black and White Adults Aged ≥35 Years Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic - United States, 2015-2021
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2023 Apr 21;72(16):431-436. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7216a4.ABSTRACTStroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of long-term disability in the United States (1). Although stroke death rates have declined since the 1950s, age-adjusted rates remained higher among non-Hispanic Black or African American (Black) adults than among non-Hispanic White (White) adults (1,2). Despite intervention efforts to reduce racial disparities in stroke prevention and treatment through reducing stroke risk factors, increasing awareness of stroke symptoms, and improving access to treatment and care for s...

Reply: Stentless versus stented bioprosthetic root replacement in the medicare population and the wisdom of crowds
In our recent analysis of long-term outcomes of aortic root operations in the United States among Medicare beneficiaries using the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS-ACSD) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services linked data for patients aged 65 years or older undergoing elective aortic root surgery, we concluded that the bioprosthetic Bentall operation should be the procedure of choice in this population due to improved survival and lower stroke risk compared with the use of the mechanical Bentall, and lower risk of aortic valve reintervention compared with valve-sparing aortic root replacement.

The Impact of Full Collapse on the Risk of Ischaemic Stroke in Patients with Carotid Near Occlusion
Carotid near occlusion (CNO) is a severe carotid stenosis associated with a reduction in the calibre of the extracranial internal carotid artery distal to the stenosis.1 The risk of ipsilateral stroke in patients with CNO is a controversial issue. While a post hoc analysis of the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) and the European Carotid Surgery Trial (ECST) reported a lower risk of ipsilateral stroke for medically treated patients with CNO compared with patients with severe (70 –99%) carotid stenosis2, more recent studies have shown that the CNO recurrence rate may be higher.

Design and Rationale of the Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring Linked with Community Health Workers to Improve Blood Pressure (LINKED-BP) Program
This study is part of the American Heart Association RESTORE (AddREssing Social Determinants TO pRevent hypErtension) Network. This study aims to examine the effect of the LINKED-BP Program on BP reduction and to evaluate the reach, adoption, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of the intervention.METHODS: Using a hybrid type I effectiveness-implementation design, 600 adults who have elevated BP or untreated stage 1 hypertension without diabetes, chronic kidney disease, history of cardiovascular disease (stroke or coronary heart disease) and age < 65 years will be recruited from 20 primary care practices including co...

National Trends, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Acute In-hospital Stroke After Lung Transplantation in the United States: Analysis of the United Network for Organ Sharing Registry
Chest. 2023 Apr 11:S0012-3692(23)00503-2. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.04.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Lung transplantation is the definitive treatment for end-stage lung failure. However, there have been no large, long-term studies on the impact of acute in-hospital stroke in this population.RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the trends, risk factors, and outcomes of acute stroke in patients undergoing lung transplantation in the United States?STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: We identified adult first-time, isolated lung transplant (LTx) recipients from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database, which comprehe...
