CYP2C19 Loss-of-Function Variants Associated with Long-term Ischemic Stroke Events During Clopidogrel Treatment in the Chinese Population
This study aims to determine whether CYP2C19 loss-of-function (LoF) variants were associated with long-term ischemic stroke risk in Chinese primary care patients treated with clopidogrel. Patients treated with clopidogrel were ascertained from a Chinese Electronic Medical Record linked with biobank for a retrospective cohort study. Their medical information was examined for the period from January 2018 to December 2021. Two CYP2C19 major loss of function variants (*2:rs4244285, *3: rs4986893) were genotyped. The clinical outcome was ischemic stroke event. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between...

Primary Prevention of Stroke in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Scientific Update
Background: Although chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for stroke, official recommendations for the primary prevention of stroke in CKD are generally lacking.Summary: We searched PubMed and ISI Web of Science for randomised controlled trials, observational studies, reviews, meta-analyses and guidelines referring to measures of stroke prevention or to the treatment of stroke-associated risk factors (cardiovascular disease in general and atrial fibrillation (AF), arterial hypertension or carotid artery disease in particular) among the CKD population. The use of oral anticoagulation in AF appears safe...

Temporary oral anticoagulation after MitraClip - a strategy to lower the incidence of post-procedural stroke?
CONCLUSIONS: Temporary oral anticoagulation might be a strategy to reduce the incidence of stroke within the first 30 days after the MitraClip procedure. Bleeding events were not significantly altered due to temporary oral anticoagulation. PMID: 30650019 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure for Stroke Prophylaxis in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: 2.3 Year Follow-Up of the PROTECT AF Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The "local" strategy of LAA closure is noninferior to "systemic" anticoagulation with Warfarin. PROTECT AF has, for the first time, implicated the LAA in the pathogenesis of stroke in AF. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION: Clinicaltrials.gov; Unique Identifier: NCT00129545.

Antiplatelet drug resistance is associated with early neurological deterioration in acute minor ischemic stroke in the Chinese population
Abstract To evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of antiplatelet drug resistance and its association with early neurological deterioration (END) and recurrent ischemic stroke (RIS) in patients with acute minor stroke. Antiplatelet drug resistance was assessed by platelet aggregation assay in 426 patients with minor stroke who were receiving combined treatment of aspirin and clopidogrel. All patients were followed up for 90 days. The primary endpoint of the study was END within 10 days after admission. The secondary endpoints included RIS, myocardial infarction and death during 90 days of treatment. The safe...

Stroke Risk Stratification in AF patients of can be done using CHADS2 (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥75, DM, prior Stroke/TIA [2 points] ); or CHA2DS2VASc2 (Congestive heart failure/left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, Hypertension, Age ≥75 [2 points], DM, prior Stroke/TIA/thromboembolism [2 points], Vascular disease, Age 65–74, Sex- female). Treatment options for Prevention of stroke includes Anti-coagulants (Vitamin K Antagonist-Warfarin, Acenocoumarol; and Newer Oral Anticoagulant- Dabigatran) and anti-platelets (Aspirin and Clopidogrel).

Associations of CYP3A4, NR1I2, CYP2C19 and P2RY12 polymorphisms with clopidogrel resistance in Chinese patients with ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: The individuals with both the CYP2C19(*)2 allele and hypertension are at high risk of CR during anti-thrombosis therapy. The CYP3A4(*)1G allele, P2RY12 (rs2046934) C allele and NR1I2 (rs13059232) CC genotype may be protective factors for CR. The associated SNPs studied may be useful to predict clopidogrel resistance in Chinese patients with ischemic stroke. PMID: 27133299 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Combination of Oral Anticoagulants and Single Antiplatelets versus Triple Therapy in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation and Acute Coronary Syndrome: Stroke Prevention among Asians
Int J Angiol DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1708477Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent arrhythmic disease, tends to foster thrombus formation due to hemodynamic disturbances, leading to severe disabling and even fatal thromboembolic diseases. Meanwhile, patients with AF may also present with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring stenting, which creates a clinical dilemma considering that majority of such patients will likely receive oral anticoagulants (OACs) for stroke prevention and require additional double antiplatelet treatment (DAPT) to reduce recurrent cardiac events and in-stent th...

Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Is Associated With Circadian and Other Variability in Embolus Detection
Conclusions: Embolism associated with asymptomatic carotid stenosis shows circadian variation with highest rates 4–6 h before midday. This corresponds with peak circadian incidence of stroke and other vascular complications. These and ASED Study results show that monitoring frequency, duration, and time of day are important in ES detection. Introduction Transcranial Doppler (TCD) detected microembolism in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) may help stratify the risk of stroke and other arterial disease complications in persons with advanced (≥60%) asymptomatic carotid stenosis. If so, this t...

The need for treatment of hemodynamic instability following carotid endarterectomy is associated with increased perioperative and 1-year morbidity and mortality
The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) who developed postoperative hypertension or hypotension requiring the administration of intravenous vasoactive medication (IVMED).Methods: We examined consecutive, primary elective CEA performed by 128 surgeons within the Vascular Study Group of New England (VSGNE) database (2003-2010) and compared outcomes of patients who required postoperative IVMED to treat hyper- or hypotension with those who did not. Outcomes included perioperative death, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), congestive heart failure (CHF), hospital l...
