Large artery stiffness and carotid flow pulsatility in stroke survivors
Objective:Aortic stiffness is increased in lacunar stroke. The precise mechanism linking aortic stiffness to symptomatic lacunar stroke is not well understood. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of aortic stiffness, carotid stiffness, central blood pressure, and cerebrovascular resistance on carotid flow pulsatility according to stroke subtype. Methods:Two hundred and one consecutive patients were examined 13 months after hospitalization for their first-ever ischemic stroke. The stroke subtype was classified using the Causative Classification of Stroke System. Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) was u...

Metabolic Syndrome Associated with Ischemic Stroke among the Mexican Hispanic Population in the El Paso/US–Mexico Border Region
In this report, data were collected in the El Paso/US–Mexico border region, where 82% of the population is Mexican Hispanic, through a retrospective study of ischemic stroke from 2005-2010. Odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals, logistic regression, and multivariate analysis of the ORs adjusted for other variables, were used to analyze the effects of various risk factors on ischemic stroke. The metabolic syndrome and its components, specifically hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia appeared to be strongly associated with ischemic stroke in the Mexican Hispanic population. Mexican Hispanic ischemic stroke patien...

Abstract 7: Risk of Intracranial Hemorrhage Among Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Receiving Prior Antiplatelet Therapy and Treated with Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Session Title: Concurrent I Session B: Oral Abstracts on Stroke Topics
Conclusion: This study represents the largest clinical experience of the safety of thrombolysis in patients on prior antiplatelet therapy. Despite a higher incidence of sICH, the absolute excess risk appears small (0.67%). These findings support current guideline recommendations regarding use of intravenous tPA in patients on antiplatelet therapy with careful weighing of potential risk and benefit.

Mortality following stroke during and after acute care according to neighbourhood deprivation: a disease registry study
Conclusions The gradient of higher poststroke mortality with increasing neighbourhood deprivation was noticeable only after acute hospital discharge. Quality of postacute care and social support are potential determinants of these variations.

Ischemic Stroke and Intracranial Hemorrhage With Aspirin, Dabigatran, and Warfarin: Impact of Quality of Anticoagulation Control Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In Chinese patients with atrial fibrillation, the benefits of warfarin therapy for stroke prevention and ICH risk are closely dependent on the quality of anticoagulation, as reflected by TTR. Even at the top TTR quartile, warfarin was associated with a higher stroke and ICH risk than dabigatran.

Folic acid, a B vitamin, lowers stroke risk in people with high blood pressure
If you’re among the one in three American adults with high blood pressure, be sure you’re getting plenty of the B vitamin known as folate. Doing so may lower your odds of having a stroke, an often disabling or deadly event linked to high blood pressure, a new study suggests. Folate occurs naturally in many foods, but especially green leafy vegetables, beans, and citrus fruits. Here in the United States, add to the list most grain products, including wheat flour, cornmeal, pasta, and rice. They are fortified with the synthetic version of folate, known as folic acid. That’s not the case in many countries ar...

CT Angiogram Helps to Predict Ischemic Stroke in Dizzy Patients, but NOT Better than the Clinical Examination (P3.084)
Conclusions: In patients with subjective dizziness, stroke risk factors and focal exam findings predict acute ischemic stroke. Calcification on CTA is also predictive, but does not significantly improve sensitivity.Disclosure: Dr. Chen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Schneider has nothing to disclose.

Clinical profile, risk factors, etiology and outcome of stroke in young Filipino adults. (P7.147)
Conclusion - Stroke occurs at a younger age in Filipinos compared to other Asian and European countries. The incidence of stroke in young Filipinos were similar to Asian figures but higher compared to European studies. Hypertension is the most common risk factor in the world followed by diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. In Filipinos however, cultural vices such as smoking and alcoholism were the second and third leading risk factors. This paper to the best of our knowledge is the first to report the unique profile of stroke in young Filipino patients.Disclosure: Dr. Talamera has nothing to disclose. Dr. San Jose has noth...

Ethnic Differences in Associations Between Blood Pressure and Stroke in South Asian and European Men Epidemiology/Population
We report findings from a UK cohort study of 1375 European and 1074 South Asian men, not receiving antihypertensive medication, aged 40 to 69 years at baseline (1988–1991). Assessment included BP, blood tests, anthropometry, and questionnaires. Incident stroke was established at 20 years from death certification, hospital and primary care records, and participant report. South Asians had higher systolic BP, diastolic BP, and mean arterial pressure than Europeans, and similar pulse pressure. Associations between systolic BP or diastolic BP and stroke were stronger in South Asians than Europeans, after adjustment for a...

Risk of vascular events is lower than expected in patients with transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke treated promptly by stroke specialists
Commentary on: Amarenco P, Lavallée PC, Labreuche J, et al.., TIAregistry.org Investigators. One-year risk of stroke after transient ischemic attack or minor stroke. N Engl J Med 2016;374:1533–42. Context Previous studies estimated the risk of subsequent vascular events in patients with transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke at 10–20% within 3 months.1 2 Prevention strategies have been adjusted since. Up-to-date numbers would help to detect a possible temporal trend in risk and to prospectively evaluate risk-scoring tools and specific risk factors in current patient populations. The TIA re...

Circulating biomarkers and incident ischemic stroke in the Framingham Offspring Study
Conclusions: Higher levels of 4 biomarkers—CRP, tHcy, TNFR2, and VEGF—increased risk of IIS and improved the predictive ability of the Framingham Stroke Risk Profile score. Further research is warranted to explore their role as potential therapeutic targets.

Left ventricular ejection fraction and aortic stiffness are independent predictors of neurological outcome in acute ischemic stroke
Conclusion: These findings provide evidence that in ischemic stroke, preserved ejection fraction and lower pulse wave velocity are associated with early favorable outcome, independently of other known prognostic factors, including blood pressure.

Target Stroke Implementation: Best Practice Strategies Cut Thrombolysis Time to < 30 minutes in a 1,550 Bed Academic Urban County Hospital (P4.280)
Conclusions:Individualized hospital gap analysis identifies targeted interventions to shorten treatment times.
