Is there an association among sleep duration, nap, and stroke? Findings from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
ConclusionIn this elderly Chinese population, short total sleep duration per 24 h, not merely daytime napping or nighttime sleep, was significantly associated with an increased risk of stroke. Preventive measures for stroke may require a focus on elderly, sedentary individuals who report other health problems.

Benefit of initial dual-therapy on stroke prevention in Chinese hypertensive patients: a real world cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that, for patients with uncontrolled hypertension, initial dual therapy is more effective in the prevention of stroke during the first 6 months of treatment, but not thereafter. Combination antihypertensive therapy may be a beneficial initial strategy for early stroke prevention. PMID: 26101644 [PubMed]

Restless legs syndrome/Willis –Ekbom disease among patients with resistant hypertension versus stroke patients—a prospective study
ConclusionThis study demonstrated a  high prevalence of RLS among patients with resistant hypertension. RLS characteristics are different from those in patients with stroke, and very similar to primary RLS.

The cardiovascular comorbidity and the risk of stroke by means of CHADS2- VASc scale in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Conclusions: the risk of stroke was connected with Index of comorbidity in COPD patients, frequency of cardiovascular comorbidity was high in COPD patients.

The effects of medications for treating COPD and allied conditions on stroke: a population-based cohort study
This study aimed to investigate the clinical factors of stroke risk in COPD and allied conditions patients and associations between medications for treating COPD and allied conditions. The population-based study cohort comprised 24,173 patients diagnosed with COPD and allied conditions between 2000 and 2013, and 24,170 selected matched patients without COPD comprised the comparison cohort from a nationwide database. Cox-proportional hazard regression was performed to determine the impact of medical therapies, comorbidities, and other clinical factors on stroke risk. Of the 48,343 included patients, 1394 (2.9%) experienced ...

The outcome of patients with acute stroke requiring intensive care unit admission
Conclusions: The need for mechanical ventilation and hypertension were independent predictors of high mortality in patients admitted to the ICU with acute stroke.

Sleep-disordered breathing and stroke: chicken or egg?
Authors: Alexiev F, Brill AK, Ott SR, Duss S, Schmidt M, Bassetti CL Abstract The bidirectional interaction between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and stroke has been the subject of many studies. On the one hand, different forms of SDB, and especially obstructive sleep apnea, increase the risk of stroke either directly or indirectly by influencing other known cardiovascular risk factors such as arterial hypertension and arrhythmias. On the other hand, stroke itself can cause either de novo appearance of SDB, aggravate a pre-existing SDB, or trigger a transition from one type of pathological SDB pattern into anoth...

Short- and long-term continuous positive airway pressure usage in the post-stroke population with obstructive sleep apnea
ConclusionsWe demonstrated that the long-term usage of CPAP therapy is possible with most of the attrition occurring in the first 3  months. Upfront healthcare resource allocation to CPAP initiation and usage in this population may improve longer-term usage.

Association between the high risk for obstructive sleep apnea and intracranial carotid artery calcification in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsThis study showed that the presence of calcium in symptomatic intracranial ICA was related to high risk for OSA in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Effect of Supervised Training Therapy on Pulmonary Arterial Compliance and Stroke Volume in Severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Inoperable or Persistent Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that supervised exercise training may improve right ventricular function and PAC at the same time. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate these findings.Respiration

Risk factors for cardiovascular disease in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a population based study.
ConclusionSeveral cardiovascular risk factors were more prevalent in people with IPF; however this did not account for the increased rate of IHD in this group of patients. Rationale & Objective: People with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have been shown to be at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease but reasons for this are unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of common cardiovascular risk factors in people with IPF and the general population and establish the incidence of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke after the diagnosis of IPF, controlling for these risk factors. ...

Which cardiovascular diseases are most influenced by smoking - a cohort retrospective study
Conclusion: This study suggests that smoking may have a greater impact on the development of stroke (p = 0.012) and HBP (p = 0.025). Smoking also has an impact on the development of AMI, but on a smaller scale (p=0.042). Higher PY values are also influencing the development of CVD (p = 0.035). There was no statistically significant variation between the two groups in the development of DM2.

Right atrial function is associated with right venticular diastolic stiffness: RA-RV interaction in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Conclusions In PAH, RA function is associated with changes in RV function. Despite increased RA stroke work, severe RV diastolic stiffness is associated with reduced RV active filling and increased vena cava backflow. In 50% of patients with high baseline Eed, diastolic stiffness remained high, despite treatment. A reduction in Eed coincided with a large reduction in afterload, increased RV active filling and decreased vena cava backflow.
