Prevalence and Outcomes of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke and Concomitant Non –ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (Results from the National Inpatient Sample 2016 to 2019)
We examined hospitalized patients with acute ischemic stroke and a concomitant NSTEMI diagnosis who were included in the National Inpatient Sample 2016 to 2019. Acute ischemic stroke and NSTEMI were defined by using the Inter national Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes. Patients with ST-elevation MI were excluded.

Screening for Asymptomatic Atrial Fibrillation While Monitoring the Blood Pressure at Home: Trial of Regular Versus Irregular Pulse for Prevention of Stroke (TRIPPS 2.0)
In conclusion, home screening for asymptomatic AF while taking BP measurements can be performed accurately. This can be used to detect new AF, allowing treatment with anticoagulation to reduce the future risk for stroke.

Comparative Analysis of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Influencing Nonfatal Acute Coronary Syndrome and Ischemic Stroke
The aim of the present work was to compare the influence of classic cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors on the development of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and ischemic stroke. During 2009–2010, 1,000 participants were enrolled: 250 were consecutive patients with a first ACS, 250 were consecutive patients with a first ischemic stroke, and 500 were population-based, control subjects, 1-for-1 matched to the patients by age and gender. The following CVD risk factors were evaluated: smoking/passive smoking, family history of CVD, physical inactivity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, presence of ov...

Relation Between Preoperative Renal Dysfunction and Cardiovascular Events (Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, or Heart Failure or Death) Within Three Months of Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Renal dysfunction is related to long-term mortality and myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We aimed to investigate the association between preoperative renal dysfunction and early risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, or heart failure after CABG. From the Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies registry, we included all 36,284 patients who underwent primary isolated CABG from 2000 to 2008 in Sweden. The Swedish National Inpatient Registry was used to obtain the primary end point, which was rehos...

Effect of Pulmonary Endarterectomy for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension on Stroke Volume Response to Exercise
In pulmonary hypertension, exercise is limited by an impaired right ventricular (RV) stroke volume response. We hypothesized that improvement in exercise capacity after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is paralleled by an improved RV stroke volume response. We studied the extent of PEA-induced restoration of RV stroke volume index (SVI) response to exercise using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI). Patients with CTEPH (n = 18) and 7 healthy volunteers were included. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing and cMRI were performed before and 1 year after PEA. For cMRI ...

Usefulness of the CHADSVASc Score to Predict of Post-Operative Stroke in Patients Having Cardiac Surgery Independent of Atrial Fibrillation
Despite its association with cardio-embolic stroke, atrial fibrillation appears to be inconsistent as a risk factor for post-operative strokes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Furthermore, the relationship between atrial fibrillation and the CHA2DS2VASc score has not been definitively established with respect to post-operative stroke. We retrospectively analyzed the records of all cardiac surgery performed at our institution between January 2008 and July 2013. Baseline characteristics, operative data, and post-operative outcomes were compared in patients who developed stroke with those who did not.

Predictors of Stroke Associated with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus and Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease
This study assesses demographic and clinical variables associated with perioperative and late stroke in diabetes mellitus patients following multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). FREEDOM is the largest randomized trial of diabetic patients undergoing multivessel CABG. FREEDOM patients had improved survival free of death, myocardial infarction or stroke and increased overall survival following CABG compared to percutaneous intervention (PCI). However, the stroke rate was greater following CABG than PCI.

PP-124 Detection of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation after Iscemic Stroke and its Clinical Predictors
This study was aimed to determine the frequency of newly detected AF using 24-hour Holter ECG after ischemic stroke and identify clinical predictors for AF.

Effect of Race on Outcomes (Stroke and Death) in patients > 65 Years of Age with Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with stroke and death. We sought to determine whether there are any racial differences in the outcomes of death and stroke in patients with AF. We used Medicare administrative data from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011 to identify 517,941 patients with newly diagnosed AF. Of these, 452,986 patients (87%) were non-Hispanic white, 36,425 (7%) were black and 28,530 (6%) were Hispanic. The association between race and outcomes of death and stroke were measured using Cox proportional hazard models.

Stroke Risk Factors Beyond the CHADS-VASc Score: Can We Improve our Identification of ‘High Stroke Risk’ Patients with Atrial Fibrillation?
The prevention of stroke and other thromboembolic events plays a crucial role in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Not all AF patients are equal in terms of thromboembolic risk, therefore not all will benefit from oral anticoagulation treatment. The general principle is that the expected benefit of anticoagulation in reduction of thromboembolic risk must exceed the expected harm caused by possible bleeding. Some guidelines have focused on a categorical approach to stroke prevention, with a focus on identifying high risk patients for oral anticoagulation (OAC).

How Well do Stroke Risk Scores Predict Hemorrhage in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation?
The decision to use anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation depends on comparing a patient’s estimated risk of stroke to their bleeding risk. Several of the risk factors in the stroke risk schemes such as overlap with hemorrhage risk. We compared how well two stroke risk scores (CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc) and two hemorrhage risk scores (the ATRIA bleeding score and the HAS-BLED score) predicted major hemorrhage on and off warfarin in a cohort of 13,559 community-dwelling adults with AF. Over a cumulative 64,741 person-years of follow up, we identified a total of 777 incident major hemorrhage events.
