Hydroxychloroquine exposure reduces the risk of cardiovasular disease events in patients with hypertension or diabetes mellitus
CONCLUSIONS: HCQ has protective effect on CVD events, including both AMI and ischaemic stroke in the patients with traditional risk factors. The protective effect of HCQ on CVD events is prominent in older patients.PMID:37246776 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/y7psev

Exploring the risk factors for ischemic cerebrovascular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus: A single-center case-control study
ConclusionCutaneous vasculitis and antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) are associated with an increased risk of ICVD, while HCQ therapy may provide protection against ICVD in SLE. The ICVD in younger lupus patients is associated with complement-mediated inflammation and poorer outcome, and require immunosuppressive therapy, whereas the ICVD in elderly patients are characterized by moderate ICAS and carotid atherosclerotic plaques.

Aneurysms in primary antiphospholipid syndrome: a case-based review
This article review ed all published cases on APS and aneurysm and showed that women who presented with abortions and deep venous thromboses with a lupus anticoagulant are those patients more commonly affected by aneurysms in APS.

Pharmacological and cardiovascular perspectives on the treatment of COVID-19 with chloroquine derivatives.
Abstract The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and an ongoing severe pandemic. Curative drugs specific for COVID-19 are currently lacking. Chloroquine phosphate and its derivative hydroxychloroquine, which have been used in the treatment and prevention of malaria and autoimmune diseases for decades, were found to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection with high potency in vitro and have shown clinical and virologic benefits in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, chloroquine phosphate was first used in the treatment of COVID-19 in China. Later, under a lim...

Recurrent cerebellar infarction associated with hereditary heterozygous protein C deficiency in a 35-year-old woman: A case report and genetic study on the pedigree.
In conclusion, the clinical manifestations of hereditary PROC deficiency may vary between individuals. The heterozygous mutation locus c.565C>T on the PROC gene is associated with thrombophilia. Awareness of the association between natural anticoagulants and thrombophilia may promote the prevention and therapy of stroke. PMID: 30210609 [PubMed]

Methotrexate might reduce ischemic stroke in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a population ‐based retrospective cohort study
ConclusionsAt a dosage of > 0.5 defined daily dose, short‐term methotrexate might decrease ischemic stroke risk in RA patients, while hydroxychloroquine and sulfasalazine were neutral.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome-Associated Crescendo Stroke Events Treated with Rituximab (P4.351)
Discussion APS is an autoimmune condition associated with persistent antiphospholipid antibodies, characterised by thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity [1].Regarding APS and stroke the optimal antithrombotic agent, intensity of anticoagulation, and duration of treatment remains controversial[2]. Analysis of the APASS subgroup in the WARS study found aspirin and warfarin to be equally effective agents for secondary stroke prevention [2]. The majority of panel members at the International Congress on Antiphospholipid Antibodies recommended warfarin or combination aspirin and warfarin for patients with definite APS and arterial...

Prevention of Recurrent Thrombosis in Antiphospholipid Syndrome: Different from the General Population?
Abstract Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by arterial and/or venous thrombosis with or without pregnancy morbidity in the presence of autoantibodies targeting proteins that associate with membrane phospholipids, termed “antiphospholipid antibodies” (aPL). Management of arterial and venous thromboses shares some similarities with management of arterial and venous thromboses in the general population; however, there are key differences. The majority of studies addressing management of thrombotic APS focus on secondary prevention. Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are typically used for secondary preve...
