Tissue-Based Stroke Definition Impacts Stroke Incidence but not Ethnic Differences
In 2013, a new stroke definition was promulgated.1 Ischemic stroke was defined as an episode of neurologic dysfunction resulting from “CNS infarction.” The term CNS infarction included not only patients with clinical symptoms lasting greater than 24 h, but also those who had MRI diffusion positive signal with symptoms less than 24 h in duration. It also included retinal and spinal cord infarction as well as cerebral venous s inus thrombosis with infarction. All of these factors would increase previous estimates of ischemic stroke.

Prevalence of Retinal Emboli and Acute Retinal Artery Occlusion in Acute Ischemic Stroke
In population-based studies asymptomatic retinal emboli occur in .32%-2.9% of people. Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) may occur concurrently with cerebral stroke but the frequency is unknown. No study has examined how commonly retinal emboli occur in the acute stroke population. We aimed to assess the prevalence of retinal emboli and RAO at the time of carotid territory ischemic stroke.

Comparison of Prediction Models based on Risk Factors and Retinal Characteristics Associated with Recurrence One Year after Ischemic Stroke
Patients who survive an ischemic stroke have a high risk of stroke recurrence within a year. About 80%-85% of patients who have survived a first ischemic stroke would suffer at least 1 recurrence, and 8%-15% of the recurrences occurred in the first year.1

Comments on Coronavirus Positive Patients Presenting with Stroke-Like Symptoms
We read with interest the short communication entitled “Coronavirus Positive Patients Presenting with Stroke-Like Symptoms”,1 it was a case series on stroke presentation over COVID-19 patients. We are particularly interested on patient 10, the one and only one central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) case secondary to occlusive thrombus in the intern al carotid artery (ICA), who was also highlighted by the authors. CRAO is a blinding ocular emergency, and a harbinger of ischemic cerebrovascular stroke.

Plasma Retinol-Binding Protein 4 Levels and the Risk of Ischemic Stroke among Women
Plasma retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) levels have been associated with cardiovascular risk factors and risk of coronary heart disease, but little is known about the association between RBP4 and the risk of ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that elevated RBP4 levels would be associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke among women.

Response to the Letter to the Editor by Kishore et al.
We appreciate these comments on our recently published article on the referral pattern of patients with acute retinal arterial ischemia at our institution.1 As Dr. Kishore et al. know, we have been trying for quite some time now to educate eye care providers regarding the need to have these patients immediately evaluated in emergency facilities with the help of neurologists with an expertise in stroke. Over the past decade, we alerted the ophthalmology community to the necessity of following previously published guidelines by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association.

Atrial Fibrillation: An Underestimated Cause of Ischemic Monocular Visual Loss?
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of ischemic stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) and investigation for paroxysmal AF is recommended following an embolic brain event. In contrast, retinal ischemic monocular blindness is traditionally considered most linked to carotid artery disease (CAS) and investigating for AF is less vigilant. We aimed to determine the prevalence of AF in patients with ischemic monocular blindness. Methods: Consecutive records of all patients presenting to a daily TIA clinic with transient or permanent ischemic monocular blindness were reviewed, January 2014-October 2016.

Assessing the risk of stroke development following retinal artery occlusion
Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) can cause acute, painless, and irreversible loss of vision. Using a large sample population database, we investigated the possible impact of RAO and numerous other clinical and non-clinical factors on the risk of developing a subsequent cerebrovascular accident.

Management of Acute Central Retinal Artery Occlusion, a “Retinal Stroke”: An Institutional Series and Literature Review
Acute central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmologic emergency that often results in permanent vision loss. Over 25% are associated with acute cerebral ischemia. In the absence of existing Level I treatment options, this study aims to examine institutional practice patterns and review the literature to develop a formalized approach to the treatment of CRAO in the era of ischemic stroke protocols.

Structural and Functional Imaging of the Retina in Central Retinal Artery Occlusion – Current Approaches and Future Directions
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a form of acute ischemic stroke which affects the retina. Intravenous thrombolysis is emerging as a compelling therapeutic approach. However, it is not known which patients may benefit from this therapy because there are no imaging modalities that adequately distinguish viable retina from irreversibly infarcted retina. The inner retina receives arterial supply from the central retinal artery and there is robust collateralization between this circulation and the outer retinal circulation, provided by the posterior ciliary circulation.
