Performance of Framingham cardiovascular disease (CVD) predictions in the Rotterdam Study taking into account competing risks and disentangling CVD into coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke
Conclusions: Framingham CVD risk predictions perform well in the low- to intermediate risk categories in the Rotterdam Study. Disentangling CVD into CHD and stroke separately provides additional information about the individual contribution of CHD and stroke to total individual CVD risk.

Ankle–brachial index predicts stroke in the general population in addition to classical risk factors
Abstract: Background: Predictors of future stroke events gain importance in vascular medicine. Herein, we investigated the value of the ankle-brachial index (ABI), a simple non-invasive marker of atherosclerosis, as stroke predictor in addition to established risk factors that are part of the Framingham risk score (FRS).Methods: 4299 subjects from the population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall study (45–75 years; 47.3% men) without previous stroke, coronary heart disease or myocardial infarcts were followed up for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke events over 109.0 ± 23.3 months. Cox proportional hazard regressions were used...

Risk factors and their impact on carotid intima-media thickness in young and middle-aged ischemic stroke patients and controls: the Norwegian stroke in the young study
This study was conducted in 150 patients aged 15-60 years and 84 controls free of CVD. We related RF to ultrasonographic B-mode cIMT-measurements obtained from 12 standardized multiangle measurements in the common carotid artery (CCA), carotid bifurcation (BIF) and internal carotid artery (ICA). Results: RF burden was higher among patients than among controls (p

Circulating desphospho-uncarboxylated matrix Gla protein and the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.
CONCLUSION: The average follow-up was 11.5 years. Dp-ucMGP concentrations were not associated with CHD risk with a HR per SD of 1.00 (95% CI: 0.93-1.07) and a HR Q4 vs Q1 of 0.94 (95% CI: 0.79-1.13) after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors. Dp-ucMGP was not associated with stroke risk (HRSD 0.98;95% CI: 0.90-1.08 and a HR Q4 vs Q1 of 1.09;95% CI: 0.78-1.51). This study could not confirm that high dp-ucMGP concentrations, reflecting a poor vitamin K status, are associated with increased CHD or stroke risk in the general population.

Psychosocial work environment and risk of ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease: a prospective longitudinal study of 75 236 construction workers
Conclusions This exploratory study showed no significant associations between psychosocial work environment and ischemic stroke, and the associations between job demands and control and CHD were inconsistent and weak. The combination of job control and job demand showed no significant associations with either ischemic stroke or CHD. by Schiöler L, Söderberg M, Rosengren A, Järvholm B, Torén K. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3490

Treatment of acute stroke: an update
Abstract Stroke is the second leading cause of global mortality after coronary heart disease, and a major cause of neurological disability. About 17 million strokes occur worldwide each year. Patients with stroke often require long‐term rehabilitation following the acute phase, with ongoing support from the community and nursing home care. Thus, stroke is a devastating disease and a major economic burden on society. In this overview, we discuss current strategies for specific treatment of stroke in the acute phase, focusing on intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy. We will consider two important issues re...

Fibrates for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate evidence showed that the fibrate class can be effective in the secondary prevention of composite outcome of non-fatal stroke, non-fatal MI, and vascular death. However, this beneficial effect relies on the inclusion of clofibrate data, a drug that was discontinued in 2002 due to its unacceptably large adverse effects. Further trials of the use of fibrates in populations with previous stroke and also against a background treatment with statins (standard of care) are required.

Soy Consumption with Risk of Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke: A Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
Conclusion: There was limited evidence to indicate that soy consumption was inversely associated with the risk of stroke and CHD, although further studies, with prospective designs that use validated questionnaires and control for important confounders, are warranted.Neuroepidemiology 2016;46:242-252

The effect of long working hours on 10-year risk of coronary heart disease and stroke in the Korean population: the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), 2007 to 2013
ConclusionLong working hours are significantly associated with the risks of CHD and stroke, estimated by Jee ’s health risk-appraisal model. This study suggests the need for proper management of working hours to reduce CHD risk and stroke risk in the Korean population.

Associations of coagulation factors IX and XI levels with incident coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke: the REGARDS study

Relation of coagulation factor XI with incident coronary heart disease and stroke: the Cardiovascular Health Study
We examined the association of FXI with incident coronary heart disease (CHD), ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke. Data were from 3394 adults (mean age: 74.5 years) enrolled in the Cardiovascular Health Study who had FXI antigen from plasma samples drawn in 1992–1993 and were followed for cardiovascular events until 30 June 2013. Approximately 63% of participants were women and 17% were black. FXI levels were higher in blacks and women, showed positive associations with high-density lipoprotein and total cholesterol, BMI and diabetes, and negative associations with age and alcohol intake. During median follow-up of ...
