Low 25-hydroxyvitamin d, blood pressure, hypertension, and ischemic stroke: a mendelian randomization study of 109662 individuals from the general population
Aim: Observational studies indicate that low concentrations of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) are associated with high blood pressure, hypertension, and ischemic stroke. However, whether these associations are causal remain unknown.

Low TLR7 gene expression in atherosclerotic plaques is associated with major adverse cardio- and cerebrovascular events
In this study we investigate whether TLR7 expression levels in the atherosclerotic lesion are correlated to patient outcome.

Poor long-term outcomes in stroke patients with asymptomatic coronary artery disease in heart CT
Although stroke patients have a high risk of ischemic heart disease, little information is available on the risk of coronary events in stroke patients with asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated the long-term vascular outcomes in stroke patients with asymptomatic CAD diagnosed with multi-detector coronary computed tomography (MDCT).

Frontal plane T-wave axis orientation predicts coronary events: Findings from the Moli-sani study
The orientation of the frontal plane T-wave axis (T axis) is a reliable measure of ventricular repolarisation. We investigated the association between T-axis and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality.

Promoter hypomethylation of microRNA223 gene is associated with atherosclerotic cerebral infarction
microRNA223 (miR-223) plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke. It is involved in regulation of multiple physiological and pathophysiological processes such as cholesterol metabolism, endothelial cell (EC) function, and thrombosis. Here we investigated the role of methylation regulation of MIR-223 promoter region in atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI) patients.

Association of descending thoracic aortic plaque with brain atrophy and white matter hyperintensities: The Framingham Heart Study
Aortic atherosclerosis is an aggregate marker of vascular risk factor exposure and has been associated with intracranial atherosclerosis and stroke. We hypothesized that atherosclerosis of the descending aorta (DAo) could be a risk marker for brain aging and injury.

Cirrhosis patients' stroke risks and adverse outcomes: Two nationwide studies
The association between liver cirrhosis (LC) and stroke is not completely understood. Our purpose is to evaluate stroke risk and post-stroke outcomes in patients with LC.

Effect of renal function status on the prognostic value of heart rate in acute ischemic stroke patients
The association between heart rate and prognosis of ischemic stroke remains debatable, and whether renal function status influences the relationship between them is still not elucidated.

The association of lipoprotein(a) with incident heart failure hospitalization: Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
We examined the association of Lp(a) levels with incident HF hospitalization in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. We also assessed the relationship between Lp(a) levels and arterial stiffness as a potential mechanism for development of HF.

Oral health and cardiovascular disease risk in a cohort of periodontitis patients
The aim of this study was to determine whether oral health is uniformly associated with three different cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and heart failure (HF), which has not been studied previously.

Fat or fit: The big oxymoron of (metabolically) healthy obesity
Among the major concerns for public health, the prevalence of obesity is raising worldwide with an inexorable pace. In 2014, over 600 million adults worldwide were obese (and more than 1.9 billion overweight) and current projections predict that over 1 billion individuals (reflecting approximately 20% of humankind) will be obese by 2030 [1,2]. Strong epidemiological evidence links obesity with increased morbidity and mortality for several diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), stroke, cancer, and diabetes, and current preventive and therapeutic strategies of most of these conditions require management of obesity a...

Sequelae of cardiovascular risk factors: Similarities and differences
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common underlying cause of death worldwide accounting for an estimated 17.3 million of 54 million total deaths in 2013, and 31.5% of all global deaths. Ischemic heart disease caused an estimated 8.2 million deaths in 2013, and 6.5 million individuals died from stroke worldwide, making stroke the second-leading cause of death [1].

Ischaemic stroke and liver fibrosis
Stroke is the sudden onset of acute neurological injury arising as a result of cerebral haemorrhage or ischaemia. It is common and serious, with 16.9 million incident strokes deduced to have occurred in 2010 causing 5.9 million deaths worldwide. It is also a major cause of disability, incurring a significant healthcare burden. Ischaemic stroke is responsible for about 80% of cases in the developed world. Focal ischaemia results from blockage of a blood vessel by a thrombus or embolus, preventing blood supply to a region of the brain [1].

Similarities and differences between coronary heart disease and stroke in the associations with cardiovascular risk factors: The Japan collaborative cohort study
Coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke have common risk factors, but some of these differ in the magnitude or direction of associations between CHD and stroke. We assessed whether the impact of each risk factor differed between CHD and stroke mortality in Asians.

Chocolate consumption and risk of stroke among men and women: A large population-based, prospective cohort study
Chocolate consumption may have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular health, but evidence from prospective cohort studies is still limited. We aimed to examine the prospective associations between chocolate consumption and risk of stroke among men and women in a large population-based cohort.
