Cryptogenic Stroke with More Than One Cause versus No Cause by TOAST Classification Lacks Adequate Predictive Power for Stroke Risk Factors and Outcomes (P1.116)
Conclusion: Differentiating between cryptogenic more than one cause and cryptogenic no cause demonstrates significant difference in the rates of cardiac-related, vasculature-related, and outcome variables. However, cryptogenic more than one cause does not have significant predictive power in demographic, baseline, or outcome prediction models.Disclosure: Dr. Scullen has nothing to disclose.

Are there Different Rates of Acute Stroke Risk Factors in the South Texas Mexican American population? (P7.146)
CONCLUSION: In the South Texas Mexican American AIS population, there is greater then a three-fold higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and CHF compared with Hispanics/Latinos in the US. AFIB and CHF are significant predictors of poor outcome in this unique population.Disclosure: Dr. Tekle has nothing to disclose. Dr. Hassan has nothing to disclose. Dr. Malik has nothing to disclose.

Systolic Blood Pressure During Acute Stroke Is Associated With Functional Status and Long-term Mortality in the Elderly Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— High systolic BP recorded by 24H BPM on the first day of stroke was found to be associated with unfavorable short-term functional status and long-term mortality in elderly patients.

Usefulness of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Levels for Stroke Risk Prediction in Anticoagulated Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In real-world cohort of anticoagulated patients with AF, NT-proBNP provided complementary prognostic information to an established clinical risk score (CHA2DS2–VASc) for the prediction of stroke/systemic embolism. NT-proBNP was also predictive of all-cause mortality, suggesting that this biomarker may potentially be used to refine clinical risk stratification in anticoagulated patients with AF.

Factors Associated with Proximal Carotid Axis Occlusion in Patients with Acute Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions: Female sex, advanced age, history of systemic embolism, and higher BNP level were independently associated with more proximal carotid axis occlusion. Patients with AF having these factors may be prone to have relatively large thrombi in the heart.

Risk Factors for Acute Heart Failure and Impact on In-Hospital Mortality after Stroke
Background: In the acute phase of stroke, some patients develop cardiac events. It could be fatal in their clinical courses. We aimed to investigate acute heart failure after stroke onset and stratify the patients by establishing a predictive model. Methods: This single-center, observational study included stroke patients diagnosed at the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery from January 2013 to December 2014. Baseline characteristics and clinical findings on admission were analyzed for acute heart failure after stroke.

Understanding Coordinator Roles in Acute Stroke Care: A National Survey
Globally, stroke is a major contributor to death and disability.1 Evidence-based care in hospital after an acute stroke ensures improved survival and reduced disability, but care quality can vary.2,3 Clinical coordinators have an essential role in improving best-practice in trauma, cancer, diabetes, and heart failure conditions.4-7 Within stroke, coordinator roles are not new; in 1970, a study outlining the ‘Stroke Team’ model was published, which included a physician, nurse-coordinator and physical therapist.

Risk Factors for Poor Outcome and Mortality at 3 Months after the Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions: Age, gender, and NIHSS score were independently associated with poor outcome for IS or TIA patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in the early recovery stage.

Cerebral hemorrhage following thrombolytic therapy for stroke: Are neutrophils really neutral?
An ideal biomarker can accurately predict disease risk stratification. The longstanding link between inflammatory responses and atherosclerotic disease and vascular events suggests great promise for inflammatory measures as biomarkers in stroke and other vascular disease. Recent studies across multiple areas and disciplines have suggested that leukocytes, as an inflammatory marker, and specifically neutrophils, may hold promise in predicting poor outcomes in various cardiovascular diseases (e.g., heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, stable coronary artery disease), including stroke, as well as in neoplasms, infections,...

Predictors for atrial fibrillation detection after cryptogenic stroke: Results from CRYSTAL AF
Conclusion: Increasing age and a prolonged PR interval at enrollment were independently associated with an increased AF incidence in CS patients. However, they offered only moderate predictive ability in determining which CS patients had AF detected by the ICM.

Cerebral Hemodynamic Effects of Cheyne –Stokes Respiration in a Patient with Stroke
Cheyne –Stokes respiration (CSR) and central sleep apnea (CSA) are common in patients with heart failure and/or stroke. We aim to describe the cerebrovascular effects of CSR during the acute phase of stroke in a heart failure patient.

Right Heart Failure as a Risk for Stroke in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Case-Control Study
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by complex lesions of the lungs and other organs as well as a progressive obstruction of the airway. In COPD patients, heart failure (HF) is associated with worse conditions such as inflammation, arterial stiffness, and increased risk mortality. However, the association of HF, COPD, and stroke are unclear; the examination of the role of HF, especially right HF, about increased risk of stroke in COPD patients has not been studied.

Duration of Diabetes Mellitus and Risk of Thromboembolism and Bleeding in Atrial Fibrillation: Nationwide Cohort Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In patients with atrial fibrillation, longer duration of diabetes mellitus was associated with a higher risk of thromboembolism, but not with a higher risk of anticoagulant-related bleeding. Considering the critical balance between preventing thromboembolism and avoiding bleeding, longer duration of diabetes mellitus may favor initiation of anticoagulant therapy.

Cell-Based Therapies for Stroke: Promising Solution or Dead End? Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Comorbidities in Preclinical Stroke Research
Conclusion The high prevalence of comorbidities in patients with stroke indicates the need for therapies in preclinical studies that take into account these comorbidities in order to avoid failures in translation to the patient. Preclinical studies are beginning to evaluate the efficacy of MSC treatment in stroke associated with comorbidities, especially hypertension, for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Regarding aging and diabetes, only ischemic stroke studies have been performed. For the moment, few studies have been performed and contradictory results are being reported. These contradictory results may be due to the u...
