Invasive aortic pulse pressure is not superior to cuff pulse pressure in cardiovascular risk prediction

Pure Thalamic Infarct: 8-Year Follow-Up Study in a Hospital in China
In conclusion, our cohort of pure thalamic infarcts were mainly due to SVO (TOAST), with hypertension as the main risk factor, and the inferolateral artery as the most implicated arterial territory. Less severe outcome or stroke recurrence are identified in long-term follow-up of pure thalamic infarcts. Other comorbidities would be cause of death in aged patients.

Natural history of carotid artery free-floating thrombus —A single center, consecutive cohort analysis
ConclusionThe risk of recurrent ischaemic events in patients with CFFT is high, especially in the first week after diagnosis. Prospective studies are needed to further investigate the optimal management of these patients.

Capsular warning syndrome and its clinical awareness and therapeutic approach: two case reports and a systematic review of the literature
ConclusionOur cases fit with the description of patients with partial recovery and risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, and smoking) in male patients. There is a lack of evidence regarding the best treatment option; dual antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulation therapy are strong contenders for a favorable result.

Mediators of the Age Effect among Patients Treated with Carotid Artery Stenting: The Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy Versus Stenting Trial (CREST) (P02.017)
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that a longer carotid artery lesion length is a significant contributor to the increased risk of CAS in the elderly. However, attenuation of the age effect was modest, less than a 10% change in the hazard ratios. Other potential mediators such as tortuosity and atherosclerosis of the aortic arch and great vessels were not assessed. Non-anatomic factors that are more common with advancing age such as cerebral white matter disease and subclinical dementia were also not assessed and may play a role in how elderly patients respond to ischemic insults.Disclosure: Dr. Voeks has nothing to disclose...

Scan could detect those on brink of heart attack
Conclusion This is a valuable study which shows the promise of using PET-CT with radioactively labelled sodium fluoride (NaF) as a way of identifying fatty deposits in the heart arteries that could be at risk of rupturing and causing a heart attack. The results confirmed that the marker used in this study (NaF) was better than the chemical marker normally used in PET-CT scans (FDG). The technique has the principal value of being a non-invasive technique compared with coronary angiography, which is the standard method used to look at blockages in heart arteries. As it does not involve surgical intervention, this could ha...

Basilar artery bending length, vascular risk factors, and pontine infarction
In this study, pontine infarction patients were analyzed to assess the effect of BA bending length (BL) together with other vascular factors on pontine stroke risk.Methods: Acute pontine infarction patients were divided into BA bending and non-BA bending groups by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Patients with BA bending who reported symptoms of dizziness or vertigo but who had not suffered brain infarction constituted the control group. The diameter of the vertebral artery (VA) and BL were measured using MRA. Based on the bilateral VA diameter data in vertebral artery-dominant (VAD) patients, the study participants w...

Role of Comorbidities as Limiting Factors to the Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen in Diabetic Foot Patients: A Retrospective Analysis
Conclusions Diabetic foot patients with histories of coronary artery diseases or stroke and non-proliferative or proliferative retinopathy might resist HBOT. PAD at the femoral arterial level has been shown to have a significant negative effect on HBOT outcomes that should be first considered for surgery. In contrast, PAD below the knee does not seem to be an obstacle to the efficacy of HBOT.

Anatomic Runoff Score Predicts Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease Undergoing Revascularization
Conclusions After adjustment for clinical factors, the LE-PAD anatomic runoff score was an independent predictor of future cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a broadly-representative patient population undergoing revascularization for symptomatic PAD. A clinically useful anatomic scoring system, if validated, may assist clinicians in risk-stratification during the course of clinical decision-making.

Cerebral Arterial Stenosis in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
CONCLUSION: 19.2% of patients with spontaneous ICH had ICAS, but the prevalence of ECAS was relatively lower (7.2%) compared with ICAS. Aging and diabetes were independent factors for the presence of ICAS, whereas aging, hypertension, and diabetes were factors for the cerebral arterial stenosis. PMID: 28881113 [PubMed]

Antiangiogenesis and medical therapy failure in intracranial atherosclerosis
In this study, we assessed the hypothesis that the balance of circulating pro- and antiangiogenic factors plays a role in the evolution of the disease and can be used as a potential marker for the disease course and a target for treatment. Seventy-four patients with severe ICAD were enrolled in this prospective observational study, medically optimized, and followed for 6  months. Thirteen pro- and eight antiangiogenic factors were measured in the participants’ serum using a sandwich multiplex ELISA. Angiogenic profiles were calculated using principal component analysis. We tested the association between angiogenic profi...

Rates and predictors of futile recanalization in patients undergoing endovascular treatment in a multicenter clinical trial
ConclusionIn IMS III, futile recanalization was common. Delay in endovascular treatment is the only modifiable risk factor. Additional strategies for non-modifiable risk factors —female gender and high NIHSS—need to be identified.

Hemodynamic Characteristics Associated With Paraclinoid Aneurysm Recurrence in Patients After Embolization
Conclusions: High peak systolic WSS, OSI and velocity around aneurysm neck areas after embolization of paraclinoidal aneurysms may be important factors leading to recurrence. Introduction Paraclinoid aneurysms are defined as aneurysms arising from the segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) between the distal dural ring and the origin of the posterior communicating artery. They account for approximately 1.3–5% of all intracranial aneurysms and they comprise the majority of such aneurysms in females (1–3). Hemodynamic characteristics are thought to be the most important risk factors for occurrence...

Spectrum of Eye Disease in Diabetes (SPEED) in India: A prospective facility-based study. Report # 3. Retinal vascular occlusion in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Conclusion: RVO is a frequent finding in people with T2DM. History of stroke carries the highest risk followed by HTN. The management of people with T2DM and RVO must also include comanagement of all associated systemic conditions.

Atrial myxoma with cerebellar signs: a case report
ConclusionAlthough rare, atrial myxoma has to be considered a cause of stroke and other embolic phenomenon causing multiorgan infarctions. Early and timely diagnosis of the condition can prevent further recurrence and inappropriate anticoagulant therapy. It would be pertinent to have echocardiography done in patients who present with a stroke, arrhythmias, and other constitutional symptoms. The tumor once detected must be removed surgically as early as possible, which not only reduces serious thromboembolic complications but can be potentially curative.
