NT-pro-BNP: A novel predictor of stroke risk after transient ischemic attack
Elevated levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and NT-pro-BNP can predict an increased risk of cardiovascular events and ischemic stroke. The limited reliability to predict the risk of stroke after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) justifies the objective of our study to determine the role of NT-pro-BNP in patients with TIAs.

Lateralization of the control of cardiovascular autonomic function and left atrial injury after selective right and left insular stroke
We thank Dr. Nagai [1] for their interest in our paper showing that selective insular stroke induced by the stereotactic injection of endothelin-1 in the left and right insular cortex of Wistar rats resulted in increased endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and fibrosis in the left atrium at 28 days after stroke [2]. In our study, we did not specifically investigate differences between anterior vs. posterior regions on the right or left insula. However, we did not find differences in left atrial changes when comparing left vs.

In reply: Stroke in pulmonary hypertension: Is it predictable or preventable?
We thank Wang et al. for their comments and for bringing forward the challenges in managing care of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and stroke. We acknowledge multiple possible mechanisms of stroke in patients with PH, and we highlighted them in our work, including paradoxical emboli and atrial fibrillation [1]. However, polycythemia (increased red cells) or other myeloproliferative disorders are considered to be a cause and not a consequence of PH [2,3]. In mice models, Sala et al. have showed that chronic hypoxia could lead to both PH and polycythemia [4].

Association of the length of oestrogen exposure with risk of incident stroke in postmenopausal women: Insights from a 20-year prospective study
To examine the relationship between the length of oestrogen exposure and risk of incident stroke. Also, the additive value of each model was compared for assessing oestrogen exposure and stroke risk in postmenopausal women.

Is the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) anatomical shape really meaningless measure for stroke risk assessment?
Since atrial fibrillation (AF) associated stroke is mostly originated from thrombogenesis in the left atrial appendage (LAA), it has been thought that the anatomical morphology of LAA would be an important contributing factor in the process of thrombogenesis [1]. However, recent studies remained controversies in terms of their association between stroke risk and LAA morphology [2 –4]. There are several reasons for these controversies. First, LAA morphology is so diverse that its classification into several pre-defined types (i.e.

Cardiac imaging in ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack of undetermined cause: Systematic review & meta-analysis
Patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) of undetermined cause often undergo cardiac imaging in search of a cardioembolic source. As the choice of the most appropriate imaging approach is controversial and therapeutic implications have changed over time, we aimed to identify in patients with “cryptogenic stroke or TIA” the yield of transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography (TTE or TEE) and cardiac computed tomography (CT).

In vitro fertilization exacerbates stroke size and neurological disability in wildtype mice
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) induce premature vascular aging in human offspring. The related alterations are well-established risk factors for stroke and predictors of adverse stroke outcome. However, given the young age of the human ART population there is no information on the incidence and outcome of cerebrovascular complications in humans . In mice, ART alters the cardiovascular phenotype similarly to humans, thereby offering the possibility to study this problem.

Ticagrelor for prevention of stroke and cognitive impairment in patients with vascular high-risk factors: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
In recent randomized controlled studies, the prevention of stroke and cognitive function of ticagrelor has been controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare ticagrelor with other antiplatelet treatment in patients with vascular high-risk factors disease, defined as acute coronary syndrome, stroke or transient ischemic attack, coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease.

Patent foramen ovale closure for recurrent stroke prevention: Recent evidence towards individualized decision-making
We read with great interest the meta-analysis by Piccolo and colleagues that showed a reduction in the recurrent stroke risk after patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure compared with medical therapy in patients with embolic stroke of unknown origin [1].

Utility of P-wave abnormalities for distinguishing embolic stroke from non-embolic stroke
Our aim was to analyze the incidence of P-wave abnormalities in embolic and non-embolic strokes, and evaluate its clinical usefulness for predicting stroke etiology.

Atrial high-rate episode burden and stroke risks for patients with device-detected subclinical atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Atrial high-rate episode (AHRE) and stroke are related; however, the magnitude of the correlations between different AHRE burdens and stroke remains unknown. We analysed studies that evaluated this relationship.

Incidence of stroke in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in stable sinus rhythm during long-term monitoring
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are at increased risk of stroke, but the incidence and factors associated with cardioembolic events in HCM patients without atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unresolved. We determined the incidence of stroke in patients in sinus rhythm (SR) monitored with a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED).

Takotsubo syndrome and stroke risk: A nationwide register-based study
Previous small-scale studies have indicated a short-term stroke incidence of 1.0 –1.3% following Takotsubo (syndrome). In this nationwide register-based study, we investigated the 90-day risk of ischemic stroke (IS) or transient ischemia attack (TIA) and mortality of patients with Takotsubo.
