Resting Heart Rate and Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Heart Failure
This study is aimed at investigating the relationship between RHR and ischemic stroke in patients with heart failure in sinus rhythm.Methods: We examined 2,060 patients with systolic heart failure in sinus rhythm from the Warfarin versus Aspirin in Reduced Cardiac Ejection Fraction trial. RHR was determined from baseline electrocardiogram, and was examined as both a continuous variable and a categorical variable using quartiles. Ischemic strokes were identified during follow-up and adjudicated by physician review.Results: During 3.5 ± 1.8 years of follow-up, 77 patients (5.3% from Kaplan-Meier [KM] curve) experienced an i...

The Relation between Plasma Gelsolin Levels and Prognosis in Patients with Acute İschemic Stroke upon Admission to Emergency Department
To compare serum gelsolin levels and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores in patients with acute ischemic stroke and to compare with healthy control subjects. Included in this study were patients with onset of symptoms in the first 3 h after acute ischemic stroke. Healthy volunteers were included as the control group. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, acute coronary syndromes, renal failure, heart failure, trauma, hepatic failure, infection, sepsis, and hematologic and oncologic disease were excluded from study. Venous blood samples were obtained from the patients and the control group upo...

Extended Risk Factors for Stroke Prevention.
Authors: Zhang S, Zhang W, Zhou G
Abstract
Stroke causes disability and high mortality, while it can be prevented by increasing public awareness of risk factors. The common known risk factors are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, smoking, alcohol consumption, low physical activity, overweight and hypercholesterolemia. However, the deep understanding of risk factors is limited. Moreover, more risk factor emerges in recent years. To further increase the awareness of risk factors for stroke prevention, this review indicates the reasonable application of antihypertensive agents according to the age-depe...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 9144: Quality of Care in Public County Hospitals: A Cross-Sectional Study for Stroke, Pneumonia, and Heart Failure Care in Eastern China
un
Hui Li
There are very few studies about the quality of care (QoC) in Chinese county hospitals. Using 7, 6, and 6 standard operations from clinical pathways as the process indicators, we evaluated the quality of stroke, pneumonia, and heart failure care, respectively. We also conducted chi-squared tests to detect differences of quality between selected counties or hospitals. We extracted relevant information from medical records of 421 stroke cases, 329 pneumonia cases, and 341 heart failure cases, which were sampled from 6 county hospitals in 3 counties of eastern China. The average proportion of recommended care ...

Stroke prophylaxis in critically-ill patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation
AbstractDespite a high incidence of new onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) in critically ill patients and its association with short and long-term incidence of stroke, there is limited data assessing anticoagulation on hospital discharge in these patients. We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records of all adult patients admitted to non-cardiac ICUs at our institution between January 2009 and March 2016. Patients with NOAF were identified and CHA2DS2-VASc score of ICU survivors was calculated. Prescription of oral anticoagulant therapy on hospital discharge was analyzed. A total of 640 (1.7% [38,708 patients]; 95%...

Sensors, Vol. 16, Pages 787: Unobtrusive Estimation of Cardiac Contractility and Stroke Volume Changes Using Ballistocardiogram Measurements on a High Bandwidth Force Plate
Unobtrusive and inexpensive technologies for monitoring the cardiovascular health of heart failure (HF) patients outside the clinic can potentially improve their continuity of care by enabling therapies to be adjusted dynamically based on the changing needs of the patients. Specifically, cardiac contractility and stroke volume (SV) are two key aspects of cardiovascular health that change significantly for HF patients as their condition worsens, yet these parameters are typically measured only in hospital/clinical settings, or with implantable sensors. In this work, we demonstrate accurate measurement of cardiac contractili...

Studies: Low-Dose Aspirin May Not Prevent Initial Heart Attack, Stroke
Taking a low-dose aspirin every day has long been known to cut the chances of another heart attack, stroke or other heart problem in people who already have had one, but the risks don’t outweigh the benefits for most other folks, major new research finds.
Although it’s been used for more than a century, aspirin’s value in many situations is still unclear. The latest studies are some of the largest and longest to test this pennies-a-day blood thinner in people who don’t yet have heart disease or a blood vessel-related problem.
One found that aspirin did not help prevent first strokes or heart attacks...

ACC 2019: Abbott touts reduced stroke, bleeding and pump-clotting in HeartMate 3 trial
Abbott (NYSE:ABT) yesterday presented data from a new trial of its HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device, touting a reduced rate of strokes, pump-related blood clots and bleeding episodes at two years as compared with the previous generation HeartMate II.
Data in the trial was presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 68th Annual Scientific Session 2019 in New Orleans and published simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine, the Chicago-area medical device company said.
Abbott touted its HeartMate 3 as the first implantable mechanical pump using fully magnetic levitation technology, making it fri...

Influence of Exercise Training on the Left Atrium:Implications for Atrial Fibrillation, Heart Failure and Stroke
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2023 Jul 28. doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.00322.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe left atrium (LA) plays a critical role in receiving pulmonary venous return and modulating left ventricular (LV) filling. With the onset of exercise, LA function contributes to the augmentation in stroke volume. Due to the growing focus on atrial imaging, there is now evidence that structural remodelling and dysfunction of the LA is associated with adverse outcomes including incident cardiovascular disease. In patients with established disease, pathological changes in atrial structure and function are associate...
