Usefulness of Left Atrial Appendage Volume as a Predictor of Embolic Stroke in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
In conclusion, larger LAA volume is associated with stroke in the setting of AF, and this measure can potentially improve risk stratification for stroke risk management in AF patients.

Meta-Analysis of Cilostazol Versus Aspirin for the Secondary Prevention of Stroke
In conclusion, compared with aspirin, cilostazol is associated with significantly less hemorrhagic stroke, the combined end point of stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death, and total hemorrhagic events, with numerically fewer gastrointestinal bleeds when used for the secondary prevention of stroke.

Frequency of and Determinants of Stroke After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Previous Cardiac Surgery (from the Multicenter RECORD Initiative)
In conclusion, the risk of postoperative stroke after S-AVR in patients with previous cardiac surgery is high and has an impact on the immediate and late mortality. Excessive bleeding requiring blood transfusion and/or reexploration, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, and use of intra-aortic balloon pump were associated with an extremely high rate of stroke.

Impact of Increased Orifice Size and Decreased Flow Velocity of Left Atrial Appendage on Stroke in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
This study investigated whether a larger LAA orifice is related to decreased LAA flow velocity and stroke in nonvalvular AF. The dimension, morphology, and flow velocity of LAA were compared in patients with nonvalvular AF with (stroke group, n = 67, mean age 66 ± 9 years) and without ischemic stroke (no-stroke group, n = 151, mean age 56 ± 10 years). Compared with no-stroke group, the stroke group had larger LA dimension (4.7 ± 0.8 vs 4.2 ± 0.6 cm, p

Risk of Stroke in Patients With High On-Clopidogrel Platelet Reactivity to Adenosine Diphosphate After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
In conclusion, in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI, the presence of HPR to adenosine diphosphate is a risk factor for stroke.

A Comparison of Atrial Fibrillation Monitoring Strategies after Cryptogenic Stroke (From the CRYSTAL AF Trial)
Ischemic stroke etiology remains undetermined in 30% of cases, leading to a diagnosis of cryptogenic stroke. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of ischemic stroke but may go undetected with short periods of ECG monitoring. The Cryptogenic Stroke and Underlying Atrial Fibrillation trial (CRYSTAL AF) demonstrated that long-term ECG monitoring with insertable cardiac monitors (ICM) is superior to conventional follow-up in detecting AF in the cryptogenic stroke population. We evaluated the sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) of various external monitoring techniques within a cryptogenic stroke cohort.

Meta-Analysis of Perioperative Stroke and Mortality inTranscatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a rapidly evolving safe method with decreasing incidence of perioperative stroke. There is a void in literature concerning the impact of stroke following TAVI in predicting 30-day stroke-related mortality. The primary aim of this meta-analysis was to determine whether perioperative stroke increases risk of stroke-related mortality after TAVI. Online databases, using relevant keywords, and additional related records were searched to retrieve articles involving TAVI and stroke following TAVI.

Relation of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol to Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) has been demonstrated as an independent risk factor of ischemic stroke, but the association of LDL-C with ischemic stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) remains uncertain. Our objective was to explore whether LDL-C could refine stroke stratification in AF patients. A total of 424 nonvalvular AF patients with ischemic stroke and 391 ones without ischemic stroke were enrolled. No patient had received antithrombotic therapy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LDL-C was an independent predictor of ischemic stroke in AF patients, with the adju...

Age-Related Disparity Trends in Stroke-Related Mortality in the United States, 1999 to 2019
Stroke hospitalizations and mortality have declined in older subjects in the United States; however, acute ischemic stroke hospitalizations have increased in subjects 25 to 64  years of age.1,2 Regardless of increasing acute ischemic stroke hospitalization trends in young patients, population-based estimates and trends of stroke (including hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke) related mortality stratified by age groups are currently scarce. Therefore, in this study, we assess ed trends in stroke mortality rates in varying age groups over 2 decades in the United States.
