Monitoring risk and preventing ischemic stroke in the very old
This article examines current guidelines and evidence regarding medical management, lifestyle changes, and psychosocial interactions that can contribute to the primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke in the very old.AREAS COVERED: The authors conducted a literature search for ischemic stroke prevention and risk assessment in the elderly via PubMed. Furthermore, they describe current strategies for monitoring risk and preventing ischemic stroke in the elderly population.EXPERT OPINION: Ischemic stroke poses a significant health risk to the elderly, with prevention relying on managing modifiable risk factors such...

FDG atrial uptake is associated with an increased prevalence of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsThis study shows a significant correlation between FDG atrial uptake and AF. While inconsistent, this pattern seems to be associated with an increased prevalence of cardioembolic stroke.

Dietary Interventions to Lower the Risk of Stroke
Abstract Stroke is a major cause of death and permanent disability in the USA; primary prevention and risk reduction are a critical health concern. A wealth of research investigated stroke risk factors, including primary hypertension, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation. Research has expanded to examine lifestyle factors, such as diet/dietary patterns, physical activity, cigarette smoking, and obesity distribution, as critical modifiable risk factors. Emerging evidence suggests diet/dietary patterns may lead to heightened risk of stroke. Despite a growing literature, research has yet to implement dietary interventi...

Secondary stroke prevention after TIA or ischemic stroke
Herz. 2021 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s00059-021-05035-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is one of the main causes of mortality and permanent disability. Secondary prevention of stroke recurrence therefore has a high priority. Secondary prevention of ischemic stroke includes optimization of the lifestyle and diet, treatment of risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia, prophylaxis of recurrence with antiplatelet treatment in patients with high vascular risk and anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation. In addition, secondary prevention includes carotid surgery or stenting in selected symptomati...
