Clinical characteristics, precipitating factors, management and outcome of patients with prior stroke hospitalised with heart failure: an observational report from the Middle East
Conclusions This observational study reports high prevalence of prior stroke in patients hospitalised with HF. Internists rather than cardiologists were the predominant caregivers in this high-risk group. Patients with stroke had higher risk of in-hospital recurrent strokes and long-term mortality rates. Trial registration number NCT01467973.

Role of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, and Inteleukin-6 in Predicting a Poor Outcome after a Stroke
Conclusions: In acute stroke patients, greater NT-proBNP and hsCRP serum concentrations are independently associated with greater clinical stroke severity. Elevated concentrations of IL-6 and hsCRP are associated with worse functional and cognitive outcomes at discharge, respectively.Neuroimmunomodulation

Stroke After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: Outcomes in the Continuous-Flow Era.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke while on CF-LVAD support was associated with significant mortality. To reduce the risk of stroke, it is essential to further elucidate risk factors, to optimize anticoagulation, and to further understand the impact of LVAD-related infections.

Study: Manual thrombectomy increases stroke risk
Routine percutaneous coronary interventions with manual thrombectomies increase the risk of stroke compared to PCI alone, according to a new substudy published last month. The substudy, published online already and set to go to print in the European Heart Journal, examined a 10,058-patient cohort from the earlier Total study of PCI and manual thrombectomies to better understand the increase in stroke rate. The new analysis reported that the stroke difference was evident in as little as 48 hours, with 15 thrombectomy patients reporting an event versus 5 treated with only PCI. The overall risk was still low however, with a 0...

Incidence and predictors of ischemic stroke during hospitalization for congestive heart failure
Abstract Heart failure (HF) increases the risk of ischemic stroke. Data regarding the incidence and predictors of ischemic stroke during hospitalization for HF are limited. The study population of this retrospective cohort study consisted of patients with congestive HF, consecutively admitted to our center from October 2010 to April 2014. We excluded patients complicated with acute myocardial infarction, infective endocarditis, and takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We also excluded those with dialysis or mechanical circulatory support. We investigated the incidence of ischemic stroke during hospitalization for HF. Thereaf...

Adherence to Guidelines for Antithrombotic Therapy in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation According to CHADS2 Score before and after Stroke: A Multicenter Observational Study from Korea.
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that antithrombotic use in AIS patients with AF might be not optimal before and after stroke in Korea. PMID: 26541495 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease: Incidence, Cumulative Risk and Predictors.
CONCLUSIONS: -Among ACHD-patients, one in eleven men and one in fifteen women suffered a stroke between age 18 and 64. Stroke-incidence was considerably higher than in the general population, especially at younger age. The most important predictors of ischemic stroke were heart failure, diabetes and recent myocardial infarction. Further research is required to see if advances in the management of ACHD may reduce this substantial stroke rate. PMID: 26597113 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cardioembolic Stroke.
Abstract Cardiac embolism accounts for an increasing proportion of ischemic strokes and might multiply several-fold during the next decades. However, research points to several potential strategies to stem this expected rise in cardioembolic stroke. First, although one-third of strokes are of unclear cause, it is increasingly accepted that many of these cryptogenic strokes arise from a distant embolism rather than in situ cerebrovascular disease, leading to the recent formulation of embolic stroke of undetermined source as a distinct target for investigation. Second, recent clinical trials have indicated that embo...

Risk of stroke in chronic heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction, but without atrial fibrillation: analysis of the CHARM-Preserved and I-Preserve trials

Stroke or left atrial thrombus prediction using antithrombin III and mean platelet volume in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsHigh MPV and AT‐III deficiency were predictive markers for stroke or LA thrombus. Their predictive power for stroke was independent of antiplatelet treatment, anticoagulation therapy, and a high CHA2DS2‐VASc score in patients with AF.

Validation of the R2CHADS2 and CHADS2 Scores for Predicting Post-stroke Cognitive Impairment.
Conclusion These results suggest that the R2CHADS2 and CHADS2 scores are useful for predicting post-stroke cognitive impairment. PMID: 28924104 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Non ‐invasive telemedical care in heart failure patients and stroke: post hoc analysis of TIM‐HF and TIM‐HF2 trials
ConclusionsAnnual rate of ischaemic stroke/TIA in NYHA II/III patients is low but higher in those with elevated NT ‐proBNP levels and history of PAOD at baseline. NITC showed no impact on the stroke rate during 1 year follow‐up despite a significantly higher rate of newly detected AF. Irrespective of known CHF, echocardiography was often missing during in‐hospital diagnostic workup after acute stroke/TIA.

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 2013: Intracranial Vertebrobasilar Calcification in Patients with Ischemic Stroke is a Predictor of Recurrent Stroke, Vascular Disease, and Death: A Case-Control Study
ner Pikija Intracranial artery calcification can be detected on nonenhanced brain computer tomography (NECT) and is a predictor of early vascular events. Here, we assessed the impact of vertebrobasilar artery calcification (VBC) on the long-term risk for recurrent stroke and vascular events. We performed a case-control trial of all consecutive stroke patients admitted to the University Hospital of Maribor, Slovenia over a period of 14 months. VBC was defined as presence of a hyperdense area within vertebrobasilar arteries that exceeds &amp;gt; 90 Hounsfield units as seen on NECT. Clinical follow-up information w...
