Reducing Hypertension in a Post-Stroke Black and Hispanic Homecare Population: Results of a Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial.
CONCLUSION: The significant across-the-board SBP decreases suggest that UHC nurse/patient/physician interactions were the central component of SBP reduction and that additional efforts to lower recurrent stroke risk should test incremental improvements in usual care, not resource-intensive transitional care interventions. They also suggest the potential value of pragmatic homecare programs as part of a broader strategy to overcome HTN treatment barriers and improve secondary stroke prevention globally.

Olive oil consumption is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Olive oil is associated with lower risk of CVD and stroke. The maximum benefit could be obtained with a consumption between 20 and 30 g/day. The association could be stronger for virgin olive oil and might operate from the early stages of the disease.PMID:34872046 | DOI:10.1016/j.clnu.2021.11.002

Effect of Anticoagulation Duration on Stroke Incidence in Asian Patients With Left Ventricular Thrombus
Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) occurs in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and in ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies.1,2 LVT may result in embolic stroke.3 We read with interest the study by Lorente-Ros et  al4 published in the American Journal of Cardiology. That study, conducted in a Spanish cohort, found that prolonged anticoagulation>12  months for LVT was associated with lower stroke risk. We aimed to study the generalizability of these results in an Asian population because the original article was a single-center study with limited representation.
