Serum calcium and long-term outcome after ischemic stroke: Results from the China National stroke registry III
Serum calcium abnormality is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, but the effects of serum calcium level on stroke outcomes remain unknown. We aimed to assess the relationship between serum calcium level and 1-year outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack.

Synergistic Network Pharmacology for Traditional Chinese Medicine Liangxue Tongyu Formula in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhagic Stroke
CONCLUSION: The LXTYF attenuates AICH partially by antioxidation, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptosis and lowers blood pressure roles through regulating the targets involved MAPK, calcium, apoptosis, and TNF signaling pathway, which provide notable clues for further experimental validation.PMID:33727915 | PMC:PMC7936909 | DOI:10.1155/2021/8874296

Case Report: 68 yo Chinese-American woman with high HDL-C and ischemic stroke attributed to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events are the most common cause of death in the United States and for most individuals who experience these events, may be predicted by risk identification tools. ASCVD risk calculators enable a clinician-patient discussion and the presence of risk-enhancing factors may further inform decision-making with respect to preventive pharmacotherapy, especially statin prescription. In cases where the decision of whether to treat with medicine is unclear, coronary artery calcium scoring by computed tomography offers enhanced risk stratification and may allow both clinicians and patie...

Anesthetic considerations in hyperparathyroid crisis: A case report
Introduction: Hyperparathyroid crisis is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of severe calcium intoxication. Parathyroidectomy is the only curative method for hyperparathyroid crisis. Several case reports and case series have been published on the medical and surgical treatments for hyperparathyroid crisis, however, few reports have focused on the associated perioperative anesthetic management. Patient concerns: A 48-year-old Chinese woman presented with a 2-week history of nausea and vomiting and complained of mental status alteration including confusion and agitation in the 24 hours prior to...

Hypertension Among Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients in Northeast China: A Population-Based Study 2017-2019.
CONCLUSIONS The high prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension and high rates of blood pressure at stages 2 and 3 in patients with prior hemorrhagic stroke indicated a considerable stroke burden in northeast China. Therefore, effective and long-time management of hypertension in stroke survivors should be a priority. PMID: 33376232 [PubMed - in process]

Use of Cardiovascular Drugs for Primary and Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Among Rural-Dwelling Older Chinese Adults
In conclusion, despite highly prevalent cardiovascular risk factors and CVDs, a fairly low proportion of the rural-dwelling older adults take CV medications for primary and secondary prevention. Notably, TCM products are among the most commonly used CV drugs. These results call for additional efforts to promote implementation of the evidence-based recommendations for prevention of CVDs in the primary care settings.

Association of visit-to-visit variability in blood pressure and first stroke risk in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease
Conclusion: In hypertensive adults with mild-to-moderate CKD, visit-to-visit variability in BP was significantly associated with the risk of subsequent first stroke.

Trends of antihypertensive agents in patients with hypertension and coronary artery disease in a tertiary hospital of China
Conclusion The compliance to guidelines is overall well for patients with hypertension and coronary artery disease, but improvements is needed for patients with type 2 diabetes. Multi-center studies with large-scale data are required to further assess the usage of antihypertensive agents in patients.
