Loci associated with ischaemic stroke and its subtypes (SiGN): a genome-wide association study
Publication date: Available online 19 December 2015 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): NINDS Stroke Genetics Network (SiGN)International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC) Background The discovery of disease-associated loci through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is the leading genetic approach to the identification of novel biological pathways underlying diseases in humans. Until recently, GWAS in ischaemic stroke have been limited by small sample sizes and have yielded few loci associated with ischaemic stroke. We did a large-scale GWAS to identify additional susceptibility genes for stroke and its subtypes. ...

Cerebral microbleeds and stroke risk after ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack: a pooled analysis of individual patient data from cohort studies
Publication date: Available online 23 May 2019Source: The Lancet NeurologyAuthor(s): Duncan Wilson, Gareth Ambler, Keon-Joo Lee, Jae-Sung Lim, Masayuki Shiozawa, Masatoshi Koga, Linxin Li, Caroline Lovelock, Hugues Chabriat, Michael Hennerici, Yuen Kwun Wong, Henry Ka Fung Mak, Luis Prats-Sánchez, Alejandro Martínez-Domeño, Shigeru Inamura, Kazuhisa Yoshifuji, Ethem Murat Arsava, Solveig Horstmann, Jan Purrucker, Bonnie Yin Ka LamSummaryBackgroundCerebral microbleeds are a neuroimaging biomarker of stroke risk. A crucial clinical question is whether cerebral microbleeds indicate patients with recent ischaemic stroke or ...

Identification of additional risk loci for stroke and small vessel disease: a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies
Publication date: Available online 7 April 2016 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Neurology Working Group of the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) ConsortiumStroke Genetics Network (SiGN)International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC) Background Genetic determinants of stroke, the leading neurological cause of death and disability, are poorly understood and have seldom been explored in the general population. Our aim was to identify additional loci for stroke by doing a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies. Methods For the discovery sample, we did a genome-wide analys...

Incidence and prevalence of dementia associated with transient ischaemic attack and stroke: analysis of the population-based Oxford Vascular Study
Publication date: March 2019Source: The Lancet Neurology, Volume 18, Issue 3Author(s): Sarah T Pendlebury, Peter M Rothwell, Oxford Vascular StudySummaryBackgroundRisk of dementia after stroke is a major concern for patients and carers. Reliable data for risk of dementia, particularly after transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke, are scarce. We studied the risks of, and risk factors for, dementia before and after transient ischaemic attack and stroke.MethodsThe Oxford Vascular Study is a prospective incidence study of all vascular events in a population of 92 728 people residing in Oxfordshire, UK. Patients with tran...

Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation after stroke and transient ischaemic attack: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 4 March 2015 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Luciano A Sposato , Lauren E Cipriano , Gustavo Saposnik , Estefanía Ruíz Vargas , Patricia M Riccio , Vladimir Hachinski Background Among patients with atrial fibrillation, the risk of stroke is highest for those with a history of stroke; however, oral anticoagulants can lower the risk of recurrent stroke by two-thirds. No consensus has been reached about how atrial fibrillation should be investigated in patients with stroke, and its prevalence after a stroke remains uncertain. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimat...

Timing of anticoagulation after recent ischaemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
Publication date: Available online 8 November 2018Source: The Lancet NeurologyAuthor(s): David J Seiffge, David J Werring, Maurizio Paciaroni, Jesse Dawson, Steven Warach, Truman J Milling, Stefan T Engelter, Urs Fischer, Bo NorrvingSummaryBackgroundAbout 13–26% of all acute ischaemic strokes are related to non-valvular atrial fibrillation, the most common cardiac arrhythmia globally. Deciding when to initiate oral anticoagulation in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation is a longstanding, common, and unresolved clinical challenge. Although the risk of early recurrent ischaemic stroke is high in this population,...

Risk of intracerebral haemorrhage with alteplase after acute ischaemic stroke: a secondary analysis of an individual patient data meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 8 June 2016 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): William N Whiteley, Jonathan Emberson, Kennedy R Lees, Lisa Blackwell, Gregory Albers, Erich Bluhmki, Thomas Brott, Geoff Cohen, Stephen Davis, Geoffrey Donnan, James Grotta, George Howard, Markku Kaste, Masatoshi Koga, Rüdiger von Kummer, Maarten G Lansberg, Richard I Lindley, Patrick Lyden, Jean Marc Olivot, Mark Parsons, Danilo Toni, Kazunori Toyoda, Nils Wahlgren, Joanna Wardlaw, Gregory J del Zoppo, Peter Sandercock, Werner Hacke, Colin Baigent Background Randomised trials have shown that alteplase impr...

Prevalence of patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic transient ischaemic attack and non-disabling stroke at older ages: a population-based study, systematic review, and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 7 June 2018 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Sara Mazzucco, Linxin Li, Lucy Binney, Peter M Rothwell Background Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been shown to be superior to medical treatment alone for prevention of recurrent stroke after cryptogenic transient ischaemic attack or non-disabling stroke in patients aged 60 years or younger. The justification for trials in older patients with transient ischaemic attack or stroke depends on whether PFO is shown to be associated with cryptogenic events at older ages, for which existing evidence is conflicting, and o...

Sex differences in the evaluation and treatment of acute ischaemic stroke
Publication date: July 2018 Source:The Lancet Neurology, Volume 17, Issue 7 Author(s): Cheryl Bushnell, Virginia J Howard, Lynda Lisabeth, Valeria Caso, Seana Gall, Dawn Kleindorfer, Seemant Chaturvedi, Tracy E Madsen, Stacie L Demel, Seung-Jae Lee, Mathew Reeves With the greater availability of treatments for acute ischaemic stroke, including advances in endovascular therapy, personalised assessment of patients before treatment is more important than ever. Women have a higher lifetime risk of stroke; therefore, reducing potential sex differences in the acute stroke setting is crucial for the provision of equitable and fa...
