More dietary calcium may lower risk of cardiovascular disease
In older people, higher dietary calcium intake may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, but not of stroke and fracture, new research suggests.

Low levels of two components of vitamin D can help predict risk of heart attack
Low levels of total vitamin D and bioavailable vitamin D can help predict a person's risk of major adverse cardiovascular events such as a heart attack, stroke, heart failure or death.

Researchers find 'simple' methods to prevent heart attacks and stroke worldwide
Three studies involving 228 centers looking at the effects of the three treatments in people at intermediate risk of, but without, clinical heart disease have recently been conducted.

Study describes molecular cause of common cerebrovascular disease
Cerebral cavernous malformations are clusters of dilated, thin-walled blood vessels in the brain that can cause stroke and seizures, yet exactly how they form is somewhat of a mystery. Now, a research team has discovered the molecular mechanism that underlies this common cerebrovascular disease.

GI tract bacteria help decrease stroke
Certain types of bacteria in the gut can leverage the immune system to decrease the severity of stroke, according to new research. This finding can help mitigate stroke -- which is the second leading cause of death worldwide.

Signs of stress in the brain may signal future heart trouble
New research shows that individuals with a greater degree of activity in the stress center of the brain also have more evidence of inflammation in their arteries and were at higher risk for cardiovascular events, including heart attack, stroke and death, according to a new study.

New research gathers more evidence for innovative stroke treatment
New research has provided more evidence that an innovative treatment strategy may help prevent brain swelling and death in stroke patients. Researchers have found that Cirara, an investigational drug, powerfully reduced brain swelling and death in patients who had suffered a type of large stroke called malignant infarction, which normally carries a high mortality rate.

Electrical brain stimulation could support stroke recovery
Medical researchers have studied the use of transcranial direct current stimulation to support rehabilitation training for stroke patients and found that those who had tCDS had better outcomes.

New imaging technique may give physicians clearer picture of stroke damage
Ischemic strokes account for nearly 90 percent of all strokes. They occur when a blocked artery prevents blood from getting to the brain and usually result in long-term disability or death. Now, a team of researchers has developed a new, real-time method of imaging molecular events after strokes -- a finding that may lead to improved care for patients.

Rapid response for inflammation control in songbirds' brains could lead to therapies in humans
A biological process in the brains of zebra finches shows that the songbirds respond quickly to trauma and are capable of controlling the natural inflammation that occurs to protect the brain from injury. Understanding the process well enough could lead to therapies in humans to control inflammation and hasten recovery from brain injury such as stroke, says a neuroscientist.

Insufficient knowledge of stroke patient's last hours of life
Caregivers are displaying insufficient knowledge of how things are for stroke patients the week before they die – for example, staff have difficulties stating whether the patients had someone with them at their death, or if they were experiencing pain. Care for stroke patients therefore risks becoming worse compared to patients who die from cancer.

Leading cause of stroke in young going untreated, and it shouldn't, study finds
The most common cause of strokes in children and young adults is sometimes left untreated, but a sweeping new study strongly suggests that is generally a mistake.

New front opens in battle against stroke
Medical scientists have vetted a potentially powerful new tool for helping prevent stroke and heart attack. In a study, researchers show that pioglitazone, a member of the insulin-sensitizing class of medications called thiazolidinediones, reduced the risk of stroke or heart attack by almost a quarter in patients who had previously suffered a stroke or mini-stroke.
