Longitudinal Effects of a Decade of Aging on Carotid Artery Stiffness: The Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Arterial stiffening accelerates with advanced age. Older individuals experience greater increases in YEM than do younger adults, even after considering the effects of traditional risk factors. Treating hypertension may slow the progressive decline in carotid artery distensibility observed with aging and improve cerebrovascular health.

Metformin associated with better cardiovascular outcomes than other glycaemic therapies
Context A question exists as to whether the outcome of glycaemic treatment of diabetes varies with the agent used; speculation surrounds whether metformin might be preferable to other treatments. Methods Ghotbi and colleagues performed an epidemiological analysis of 8192 obese patients with diabetes at increased cardiovascular risk participating in the Sibutramine Cardiovascular OUTcomes (SCOUT) trial. Mortality and a combined cardiovascular outcome of non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, resuscitation after cardiac arrest or cardiovascular death were compared among those receiving one of the following interv...

Fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with reduced all-cause and cardiovascular mortality
Commentary on: Wang X, Ouyang Y, Liu J, et al.. Fruit and vegetable consumption and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer: systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. BMJ 2014;349:g4490 Context Dietary guidelines from around the world recommend the daily consumption of a variety of fruits and vegetables. For example, the ‘5 a day’ public health campaign in the UK encourages people to consume at least five 80 g portions of fruits and vegetables every day. These guidelines are largely based on recommendations from the WHO to consume at least 400&nb...

Prevalence, knowledge, and treatment of transient ischemic attacks in China
Conclusions: TIA is prevalent and an estimated 23.9 million people in China may have experienced a TIA. Public knowledge on TIA is very limited. TIA appears to be largely undiagnosed and untreated in China. There is an urgent need to develop strategies to improve the identification and appropriate management of TIA.

ACE inhibitors in African Americans with hypertension associated with worse outcomes as compared to other antihypertensives
Commentary on: Bangalore S, Ogedegbe G, Gyamfi J, et al.. Outcomes with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors vs other antihypertensive agents in hypertensive blacks. Am J Med 2015;128:1195–203. Context Hypertension affects one-third of the world's population and remains a leading cause of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, renal failure and death. Although hypertension control has improved,1 the prevalence is increasing due to an ageing population, rising obesity and a shift towards western lifestyles and disease patterns in low-income and middle-income countries. Hypertension is now also a major contr...

Different stroke(s)
A 13-year-old boy with mild learning difficulties presented to his district general hospital after an unwitnessed episode of collapse with vomiting but no loss of consciousness. He had 3 days of lethargy and intermittent occipital headaches waking him from sleep. Two days later, after another ‘funny turn’, he represented with right-side paraesthesia, weakness and word-finding difficulty. He had three previous ‘collapses’ over the last 6 months, including symptoms of transient dizziness, slurred speech, dribbling, difficulty swallowing and left-facial paraesthesia from which he had recovere...

Correspondence The INTERSTROKE study on risk factors for stroke – Authors' reply
Xianwei Zeng and collagues suggest our analysis of the INTERSTROKE study1 overestimated the population attributable for ten risk factors of stroke due to the selection of variables included. Although we did not include a variable for metabolic syndrome, we did include the key domains for metabolic syndrome, namely obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and apolipoproteins. Our analysis also included a measure of dietary quality, namely modified alternative healthy index (mAHEI). Variables for health education and hormones were not included, because these were not measured, although certain hormones could be measured in future an...

Neuroimaging Correlates of Cerebral Microbleeds Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—CMBs are a common vascular pathology in the elderly. Markers of hypertensive small-vessel disease may contribute to deep CMBs while cerebral amyloid angiopathy may drive development of lobar CMBs.

C-reactive protein and hypertension incidence in black and white Americans: REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study.
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated CRP attenuated a portion of the unadjusted excess risk of hypertension in black adults, but this excess risk was attenuated when controlling for measures of obesity in females and diet and socioeconomic factors in males. Inflammation related to these risk factors might explain part of the black-white disparity in hypertension. PMID: 33326556 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association between carotid intima media thickness and acute ischemic stroke at an Indonesian tertiary referral hospital
CONCLUSIONS: AIS was associated with atherosclerosis, on the basis of CIMT measurements, according to age, BMI, sex, T2DM, hypertension, smoking status, dyslipidemia, socioeconomic status, and education level in the Indonesian population.PMID:36852246 | PMC:PMC9957772 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtumed.2022.12.008

Correlation Between Intracranial Arterial Calcification and Imaging of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Conclusion: Intracranial artery calcification is common in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and the intracranial carotid artery is most frequently affected. Intracranial arterial calcifications might be associated with imaging markers of SVD and are highly correlated with WMHs, lacunes, and CMBs. Quantification of calcification on CT provides additional information on the pathophysiology of SVD. Intracranial arterial calcification could act as a potential marker of SVD. Introduction Atherosclerosis is a systemic vascular process that is considered a major cause of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular di...

Air pollution linked to silent strokes
Conclusion This cross-sectional study has suggested a link between exposure to small particles in the air (one form of pollution) and the presence of "silent stroke" in older adults – small areas of damage to the brain tissue that are not severe enough to cause obvious symptoms. There are a number of limitations to be aware of when assessing the results of this study: While there was an association between particulate matter in the air and total brain volume, this was no longer statistically significant after taking into account whether people have conditions such as high blood pressure, which can also affec...
