Factors associated with stroke in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation beyond CHADS2 score.
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated E velocity, E/E' and SD of tA-SR were associated with occurrence of stroke in patients with PAF even with similar CHAD scores. Increased SD of tA-SR and E/E' were independently associated with stroke in patients with PAF. PMID: 27296157 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The diagnostic and prognostic value of copeptin in patients with acute ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The above systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that monitoring the copeptin levels may help predict the long-term prognosis of ischemic stroke efficiently. Determining the copeptin level may help individualize the management of ischemic stroke patients, keep stroke risk lower, reduce post-stroke complications, including patient death, and minimize healthcare costs.PMID:35621091 | DOI:10.5603/CJ.a2022.0045

Roles of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in post-myocardial infarction patients: Risk of new occurrence of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke.
Abstract Patients with myocardial infarction are at risk of the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke. We sought to evaluate the prognostic performance of the CHADS2- and CHA₂DS₂-VASc scores in predicting new AF and/or ischemic stroke in post-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. 607 consecutive post-STEMI patients with no previously documented AF were studied. After a follow-up of 63 months (3,184 patient-years), 83 patients (13.7%) developed new AF (2.8% per year). Patients with a high CHADS2- and/or CHA₂DS₂-VASc score were more likely to develop new AF. The a...

Patent foramen ovale closure versus medical therapy after cryptogenic stroke: An updated meta-analysis of all randomized clinical trials.
CONCLUSION: Patent foramen ovale closure in adults with recent cryptogenic stroke was associated with a lower rate of recurrent strokes in comparison with medical therapy alone. PMID: 29512097 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Monotherapy of aspirin or warfarin for prevention of ischemic stroke in low-risk atrial fibrillation: A Easter Asian population-based study.
CONCLUSIONS: Warfarin is suggested to be prescribed in preventing ischemic stroke for low-stroke-risk atrial fibrillation patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia. PMID: 29718533 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Established and potential echocardiographic markers of embolism and their therapeutic implications in patients with ischemic stroke.
Abstract Cardiogenic strokes comprised 11% of all strokes and 25% of ischemic strokes. An accurate identification of the cause of stroke is necessary in order to prepare an adequate preventive strategy. In this review the confirmed and potential causes of embolic strokes are presented, which can be detected in echocardiography in the context of present treatment guidelines and gaps in evidence. There remains a need for further studies assessing the meaning of potential cardiac sources of embolism and establishment of rules for optimal medical prevention (antiplatelet therapy [APT] vs. oral anticoagulation [OAC]) a...

Adiposity, fat depots and the prediction of stroke
CONCLUSIONS: It was found that age, WC and echocardiographic EFT revealed significant predictive values for stroke. Both WC and EFT showed a very high NPV suggesting that they should be implemented into the clinical practice as a tool affirming a very low risk of stroke.PMID:34708862 | DOI:10.5603/CJ.a2021.0134
