There is still an uncertainty in the relationship between stroke and COVID-19. Therefore, in this study, the authors report 18 cases of acute stroke occurring in the setting of COVID-19 infection, including 11 ischaemic strokes and 7 haemorrhagic strokes and identified in a Lebanese tertiary hospital.

Differential Diagnosis of New Giant T-Wave Inversions
To the Editor The electrocardiogram (ECG) presented by Dr Cai and colleagues is indeed a great challenge. Two days after a fall, an older patient was admitted to the hospital with a hip fracture that was treated by external fixation and skin traction. On hospital day 2, the patient suddenly lost consciousness. An ECG immediately performed showed giant negative T waves (>20 mm) in the precordial leads and a QTc prolongation of 535 milliseconds. Cardiac troponin was elevated. Findings of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (performed because of neurologic deficits) showed bilateral multifocal subacute ische...

A Case of Infective Endocarditis Caused by Streptococcus sanguinis Resulting in Stroke, Ruptured Infected Pseudoaneurysm of Superior Mesenteric Artery, and Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis
Intern Med. 2023 Jun 21. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2017-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 71-year-old-man was admitted to our hospital with a cerebral embolism and diagnosed with infective endocarditis (IE) caused by Streptococcus sanguinis. Mitral valve replacement was performed. About one month later, he experienced sudden abdominal pain and shock due to a ruptured infected mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm. Forty-four days after abdominal surgery, he presented with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. He was treated with plasma exchange and prednisolone, and his ...

Inflammatory markers in patients with hypertension
Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2023 May 2;84(5):1-8. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2022.0531. Epub 2023 May 22.ABSTRACTHypertension is a chronic disease with high levels of morbidity and disability. Elevated blood pressure can lead to many complications and is the main risk factor for stroke, heart failure and nephropathy. Factors associated with hypertension and inflammatory response differ from those associated with vascular inflammation. The immune system plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of hypertension. Inflammation is particularly relevant in the progression of cardiovascular diseases, which has led to extensive research on infl...

How do we ensure that more patients receive stroke thrombectomy in the UK?
Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2023 May 2;84(5):1-4. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2023.0111. Epub 2023 May 22.ABSTRACTStroke is a major cause of death in the UK. Mechanical thrombectomy is the most effective treatment for large vessel ischaemic strokes. Despite this, very few patients in the UK receive mechanical thrombectomy. This editorial explores the main barriers to mechanical thrombectomy use and mechanisms to improve uptake.PMID:37235673 | DOI:10.12968/hmed.2023.0111
