Heart rate and ischemic stroke: the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study
ConclusionIn REGARDS, high resting heart rates were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke compared with low heart rates. Further research is needed to examine whether interventions aimed to reduce heart rate decrease stroke risk.

Statistical analysis plan for evaluating low‐ vs. standard‐dose alteplase in the ENhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombolysis strokE stuDy (ENCHANTED)
ConclusionsWe have developed a predetermined statistical analysis plan for the ENhanced Control of Hypertension And Thrombolysis strokE stuDy alteplase dose arm which is to be followed to avoid analysis bias arising from prior knowledge of the study findings.

Prevalence of stroke symptoms among stroke‐free residents: first national data from Lebanon
ConclusionsThis is the first study conducted in the Middle East, assessing self‐reported stroke symptoms among stroke‐free residents. Our study showed that almost one in eight residents without a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack has had stroke symptoms. Major vascular risk factors are associated with these symptoms, thus allowing for prevention strategies.

Statin therapy and the risk of intracerebral haemorrhage: a nationwide observational study
ConclusionsIn this matched case‐controlled study, statin therapy was associated with a decreased risk of incident intracerebral haemorrhage. Future studies on risk of stroke with statin therapy after intracerebral haemorrhage are needed.

Improved ischemic stroke outcome prediction using model estimation of outcome probability: The THRIVE‐c calculation
ConclusionBy computing the logistic equation with patient‐specific continuous variables in the THRIVE‐c calculation, outcomes at the individual patient level are more accurately estimated. Given the widespread availability of computers and devices at the point of care, such calculations can be easily performed with a simple user interface.

Intakes of magnesium, potassium, and calcium and the risk of stroke among men
ConclusionsA diet rich in magnesium, potassium, and calcium may contribute to reduced risk of stroke among men. Because of significant collinearity, the independent contribution of each cation is difficult to define.

Risk factors for ischemic stroke and its subtypes in Chinese vs. Caucasians: Systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionOur study showed a lower prevalence of atrial fibrillation, ischemic heart disease and hypercholesterolemia in Chinese, and mostly similar risk factor associations in Chinese and Caucasian ischemic stroke patients. Further analyses of individual patient data to allow adjustment for confounders are needed to confirm and extend these findings.

Rationale, design, and progress of the ENhanced Control of Hypertension ANd Thrombolysis strokE stuDy (ENCHANTED) trial: An international multicenter 2 × 2 quasi‐factorial randomized controlled trial of low‐ vs. standard‐dose rt‐PA and early intensive vs. guideline‐recommended blood pressure lowering in patients with acute ischaemic stroke eligible for thrombolysis treatment
ConclusionsLow‐dose iv rt‐PA and early intensive BP lowering could provide more affordable and safer use of thrombolysis treatment for patients with AIS worldwide.

Stroke in Bahrain: rising incidence, multiple risk factors, and suboptimal care
The incidence of stroke in Bahrain is rising in the Bahraini population and has nearly doubled over the last 16 years, while the incidence in the non‐Bahraini population has not changed. Incidence of stroke in the Bahraini population (110/100 000) is now much greater than in the non‐Bahraini population (27/100 000). The Bahraini stroke population is 10 years younger than Western comparators with a much higher prevalence of many of the risk factors for stroke, including diabetes (54%), hypertension (75%) and hyperlipidemia (34%). The combination of an ageing Bahraini population alongside a high prevalence of risk fa...

Protocol for Cilostazol Stroke Prevention Study for Antiplatelet Combination (CSPS.com): a randomized, open‐label, parallel‐group trial
DiscussionThe CSPS.com is expected to provide evidence indicating whether secondary IS prevention in high‐risk patients can be improved by using DAPT involving cilostazol.

Stroke in Asia: a global disaster
Although stroke is a world‐wide problem, the burden of stroke is particularly serious in Asia; its mortality is higher than in Europe or North America. The situation in Asia is dichotomized. Stroke mortality and case fatality has been declining in northern‐eastern countries such as Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and urbanized areas of China. This is attributed to both the risk factor control and stroke care improvement. However, declining stroke incidence is rarely observed, which is in part due to rapidly aging population. As a result, there is an increase in the number of stroke survivors who require long‐term, costly care....
