Predictors of atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic stroke (P6.294)
Conclusions:Consistent with prior studies, atrial fibrillation was found by outpatient monitoring in a notable percentage of cryptogenic stroke patients. Predictors of occult atrial fibrillation in our study population included PACs on EKG and higher TSH levels. Although an association between hyperthyroidism and atrial fibrillation has been well established, our results intriguingly suggest that hypothyroidism may be a predictive factor as well.Disclosure: Dr. Renati has nothing to disclose.

Autoimmune thyroiditis as a risk factor for stroke: A historical cohort study
Conclusion: Our results support the hypothesis of a slightly increased risk of stroke in patients with AIT. The higher effect size found soon after AIT diagnosis suggests an increased cardiovascular risk due to thyroid-hormone deficiency rather than a cumulative effect of autoimmune pathology. Better screening and early treatment of patients with asymptomatic hypothyroid AIT could help reduce excess risk of stroke in the first year after diagnosis.

Comment: Does L-thyroxine prevent or cause stroke in hypothyroidism?
The association between overt hypothyroidism and atherosclerotic risk factors, especially hypertension and dyslipidemia, is clear. To date, only a few small and methodologically flawed epidemiologic studies have investigated the relationship between hypothyroidism and stroke, precluding definitive conclusions. In the current issue of Neurology®, Karch and Thomas1 present a large well-designed case-control study investigating this relationship. They compared 34,907 patients with autoimmune thyroiditis on treatment with l-thyroxine and 149,632 matched individuals without autoimmune thyroiditis from a UK primary care elec...

Endocrine Dysfunction Following Stroke
In conclusions, stroke survivors have an approximately 2-fold increased risk of developing acquired hypothyroidism, pituitary dysfunction, or disorders of the adrenal glands. These ris ks should be taken into account in the management of patients who have ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes.Graphical Abstract

Subclinical Hypothyroidism and the Risk of Stroke Events and Fatal Stroke: An Individual Participant Data Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Although no overall effect of subclinical hypothyroidism on stroke could be demonstrated, an increased risk in subjects younger than 65 years and those with higher TSH concentrations was observed. PMID: 25856213 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Clinical Comparison along with Prediction of the Outcome and Prognosis of Anterior and Posterior Circulation Stroke Patients Admitted in Tertiary Care Hospital
CONCLUSION: Symptoms of PCI stroke patients are more severe than that of ACI stroke patients. The outcome and prognosis of PCI stroke patients are worse compared to the ACI stroke patients.PMID:35702838 | DOI:10.5005/japi-11001-0022
