Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Previously Vaccinated Against COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: There are no significant differences in clinical characteristics of stroke in vaccinated compared to unvaccinated patients. We did not find a connection between vaccination and stroke.PMID:35447380 | PMC:PMC8977441 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2022.106483

Characteristic of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Based on TOAST Classification During COVID-19 Pandemic Era: A Single Centre Study
CONCLUSION: Patients with and without COVID-19 show varied distributions of stroke subtypes according to the TOAST categorization. Hypercoagulation is a major risk factor for stroke of undetermined etiology in individuals with COVID-19 who suffer from acute ischemic stroke. Increased viral-mediated endothelial inflammation leading to aberrant coagulopathy may explain the correlation between COVID-19 and acute ischemic stroke.PMID:36824987 | PMC:PMC9942495 | DOI:10.2147/IJGM.S394017

Immune Pathways in Etiology, Acute Phase, and Chronic Sequelae of Ischemic Stroke
Circ Res. 2022 Apr 15;130(8):1167-1186. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.121.319994. Epub 2022 Apr 14.ABSTRACTInflammation and immune mechanisms are crucially involved in the pathophysiology of the development, acute damage cascades, and chronic course after ischemic stroke. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, and, in addition to classical risk factors, maladaptive immune mechanisms lead to an increased risk of stroke. Accordingly, individuals with signs of inflammation or corresponding biomarkers have an increased risk of stroke. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as IL (interleukin)-1β blockers, methotrexate, or colchicine, r...

Emergency department admissions for myocardial infarction and stroke in France during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic: National temporal trends and regional disparities
CONCLUSIONS: The decrease in ED admissions for MI and stroke observed during the lockdown was probably caused by fear of COVID-19 and augmented by the lockdown, and was heterogeneous across the French territory. ED admissions were slow to return to the usual levels from previous years, without a compensatory increase. These results underline the need to reinforce messages directed at the population to encourage them to seek care without delay in case of cardiovascular symptoms.PMID:33893038 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2021.01.006

Stroke Prevention After Cryptogenic Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewCryptogenic stroke represents a heterogenous but clinically important collection of stroke etiologies for which our understanding continues to grow. Here, we review our current knowledge and most recent recommendations on secondary prevention for common causes of cryptogenic stroke including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, atrial cardiopathy, patent foramen ovale, and substenotic atherosclerotic disease as well as the under-recognized mechanisms of occult malignancy, heart failure, and, most recently, infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2).Recent FindingsThe res...

Integrated head and neck imaging of symptomatic patients with stroke using simultaneous non-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging as compared with digital subtraction angiography
CONCLUSIONS: CMR SNAP is consistent with DSA in measuring vessel diameters and identifying atherosclerosis stenosis in each intracranial and carotid vessel segment. SNAP is also a potential alternative to HR-VWI in identifying stenosis and IPH.PMID:35307027 | DOI:10.1186/s12968-022-00849-1

Patent Foramen Ovale-associated Stroke and COVID-19 Vaccination
Case –control studies have shown an association between patent foramen ovale (PFO) and cryptogenic stroke, which was observed particularly in patients younger than 55 years without conventional risk factors. The role of PFO closure in preventing stroke recurrence had been uncertain for many years, unt il four randomised clinical trials in 2017 and 2018 unequivocally demonstrated a benefit, with the number needed t...
