CYP2C19 Loss-of-Function Variants Associated with Long-term Ischemic Stroke Events During Clopidogrel Treatment in the Chinese Population
This study aims to determine whether CYP2C19 loss-of-function (LoF) variants were associated with long-term ischemic stroke risk in Chinese primary care patients treated with clopidogrel. Patients treated with clopidogrel were ascertained from a Chinese Electronic Medical Record linked with biobank for a retrospective cohort study. Their medical information was examined for the period from January 2018 to December 2021. Two CYP2C19 major loss of function variants (*2:rs4244285, *3: rs4986893) were genotyped. The clinical outcome was ischemic stroke event. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between...

Optimization of secondary prevention in patients with high-risk atherothrombotic ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks
Zh Nevrol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova. 2023;123(6):36-43. doi: 10.17116/jnevro202312306136.ABSTRACTHigh and very high risk atherothrombotic ischemic stroke (ATIS) includes patients with severe extracranial atherosclerosis, any intracranial atherosclerosis, and aortic arch atheromatosis. The article discusses the most effective approaches to medical short- and long-term secondary prevention of ATIS, major vascular events and death, based on the results of modern research and current clinical guidelines. Clinical studies of recent years have proven the possibility of individualization and intensification of secondary preventi...

A comparison of safety and efficacy between long-term DAPT and intensive statins combined with short-term DAPT for acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsCompared to long-term DAPT, intensive rosuvastatin with short-term DAPT was equivalent in reducing the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke. It alleviated symptoms more rapidly, and significantly reduced the risk of bleeding, without causing an increase in transaminase or muscle enzymes.Clinical trial registrationChina Clinical Trial Registration Center (ChiCTR1800017809)

Evaluation and subgroup analysis of the efficacy and safety of intensive rosuvastatin therapy combined with dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsWithout increasing bleeding and statin-associated adverse events, intensive rosuvastatin therapy plus 7-day DAPT significantly reduced the risk of recurrent stroke, especially for subgroups with high-risk factors.Clinical trial registration.

Rationale and design of a randomised double-blind 2 ×2 factorial trial comparing the effect of a 3-month intensive statin and antiplatelet therapy for patients with acute mild ischaemic stroke or high-risk TIA with intracranial or extracranial atherosclerosis (INSPIRES)
CONCLUSION: The INSPIRES trial will assess the efficacy and safety of intensive antiplatelet therapy and immediate intensive statin therapy begun within 72 hours of onset in decreasing the recurrent stroke at 90 days in patients with acute mild ischaemic stroke or high-risk TIA of intracranial or extracranial atherosclerosis origin.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03635749.PMID:36707080 | DOI:10.1136/svn-2022-002084

Pharmacogenomics in Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease: State of the Art
Stroke. 2022 Nov 3. doi: 10.1161/STROKEAHA.122.037717. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is considerable interindividual variability in the response to antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies, and this variation may be attributable to genetic variants. There has been an increased understanding of the genetic architecture of stroke and cardiovascular disease, which has been driven by advancements in genomic technologies and this has raised the possibility of more targeted pharmaceutical treatments. Pharmacogenetics promises to use a patient's genetic profile to treat those who are more likely to benefit from a particular...

E-187 Pipeline embolization stent for treatment of giant supraclinoid aneurysms: a case series
ConclusionThe Pipeline embolization device is a novel technique that can be utilized for treatment of giant cerebrovascular aneurysms with emerging evidence of immediate and long-term success. Further patient enrollment and clinical trials will be required to assess its efficacy in comparison to other endovascular and surgical approaches for the treatment of giant aneurysms.Disclosures M.

Conservative treatment of peripheral arterial disease
Internist (Berl). 2022 May 9. doi: 10.1007/s00108-022-01342-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) often have polyvascular atherosclerosis and are at increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), such as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or stroke, and major adverse limb events (MALE), such as amputation and acute limb ischemia. Therefore, the aim of conservative treatment is the reduction of MACE and MALE. In patients with intermittent claudication, the aim is also to extend walking distance. Management of risk factors includes smoking cessation, statin t...

Potential role for pentoxifylline as an anti-inflammatory drug for patients with acute coronary syndrome
Exp Ther Med. 2022 Jun;23(6):378. doi: 10.3892/etm.2022.11305. Epub 2022 Apr 8.ABSTRACTThe link between inflammation and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains to be sufficiently elucidated. It has been previously suggested that there is an inflammatory process associated with ACS. Pentoxifylline, a methylxanthine derivate, is known to delay the progression of atherosclerosis and reduce the risk of vascular events, especially by modulating the systemic inflammatory response. The present study is a single-blind, randomized, prospective study of pentoxifylline 400 mg three times a day (TID) added to standard therapy vs. stand...
