Novel predictors and a predictive model of cerebrovascular atherosclerotic ischemic stroke based on clinical databases
CONCLUSION: The efficacy of the predictive model was acceptable as an aid in predicting cerebrovascular atherosclerotic ischemic stroke.PMID:36413433 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2022.2149185

Severe Hyperkalemia Masquerading as Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report
We report a case of a 63-year-old Caucasian woman, who was admitted to Namazi Hospital, affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (Shiraz, Iran) in August 2019. The patient suffered from left-sided weakness and slurred speech for one hour prior to admission. Initially, the patient was treated for acute ischemic stroke, and an intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV-rTPA) was prescribed. However, further investigations showed severe hyperkalemia. Hemiparesis and slurred speech improved significantly with appropriate management of hyperkalemia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case...

Effects of salt substitutes on clinical outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions
The beneficial effects of salt substitutes on blood pressure across geographies and populations were consistent. Blood pressure-mediated protective effects on clinical outcomes are likely to be generalisable across population subgroups and to countries worldwide.

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism improves transient receptor potential vanilloid 4-dependent dilation of cerebral parenchymal arterioles and cognition in a genetic model of hypertension
Conclusions:
These data advance our understanding of the effects of hypertension on cerebral arterioles using a clinically relevant model and treatment paradigm. Our studies suggest TRPV4 and the MR are potential therapeutic targets to improve cerebrovascular function and cognition during hypertension.

Salt substitution reduces the rate of cardiovascular events and death
Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 13 September 2021; doi:10.1038/s41569-021-00615-3In the SSaSS trial, substituting regular table salt (100% sodium chloride) with an alternative containing 25% potassium chloride reduced the rate of stroke, major cardiovascular events and all-cause death.

Stopping mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists after hyperkalaemia: trial emulation in data from routine care
ConclusionsStopping MRA after an episode of hyperkalaemia was associated with reduced risk for recurrent hyperkalaemia, but higher risk of death or cardiovascular events. Recurrent hyperkalaemia was common in either strategy.

Network meta-analysis of efficacy and safety of chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide in hypertensive patients
Hypertension is a chronic condition leading to increased stress on the heart and blood vessels, a critical risk factor for clinically significant events such as myocardial infarction heart failure, stroke and death. Chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide are first-line antihypertensive agents for most patients with hypertension. The aim of our meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of both therapies in patients with hypertension. Searches of electronic databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, PsycInfo and eLIBRARY.ru, were performed. We used network meta-analysis to combine direct and indirect evidence. Forest plot...

Urinary Sodium and Potassium, and Risk of Ischaemic and Haemorrhagic Stroke (INTERSTROKE): a case-control study.
CONCLUSION: The association of sodium intake and stroke is J-shaped, with high sodium intake a stronger risk factor for intracerebral haemorrhage than ischemic stroke. Our data suggest that moderate sodium intake - rather than low sodium intake - combined with high potassium intake may be associated with the lowest risk of stroke and expected to be a more feasible combined dietary target.

Electrophysiological effects of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants on atrial repolarizing potassium channels
Conclusion Apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban did not exhibit direct functional interactions with human atrial K+ channels underlyingIKr,IKur,Ito,IK1, andIK2P currents that could account for beneficial clinical outcome associated with the drugs. Indirect or chronic effects and potential underlying signalling mechanisms remain to be investigated.
