Prestroke treatment with beta-blockers for hypertension is not associated with severity and poor outcome in patients with ischemic stroke: data from a national stroke registry
Background: Beta-blockers are not recommended as the initial therapy for hypertension. Reports on associations between use of beta-blockers and stroke severity are inconclusive. We assessed associations between prestroke use of beta-blockers and stroke severity, poststroke disability and death in a large group of hypertensive patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: All 3915 patients with ischemic stroke, treated prestroke for hypertension and registered in the National Acute Stroke ISraeli, were included. Treatment for hypertension was classified by medication type (beta-blockers, diuretics, calcium ant...

Effect of Amlodipine in Stroke and Myocardial infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
ConclusionIn the pooled analysis of data from 12 randomised controlled trials and one double-blinded cohort study measuring the effect of CCBs, we found that the CCB amlodipine reduced the risk of stroke and MI in hypertensive patients. Superior results for amlodipine were found in ten of the 13 studies included in this meta-analysis.

Long-Term Anti-Hypertensive Therapy and Stroke Prevention: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusion Among the antihypertensive classes, CCBs were most effective in reducing the long-term incidence of stroke, whereas β-blockers were associated with significantly increased risk.

Efficacy of Calcium Channel Blockers Versus Other Classes of Antihypertensive Medication in the Treatment of Hypertensive Patients With Previous Stroke and/or Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Hypertensive patients, such as those with established coronary artery disease (CAD) or those who have suffered a stroke, are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. This systematic literature review and meta-analysis assesses the long-term effects of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) compared with other classes of antihypertensive medications on major cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in these high-risk subgroups of hypertensive patients. Randomized, active controlled parallel group trials were included if they compared CCBs with α-blockers, β-blockers, angiotensin II receptor blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhib...

Middle Cerebral Artery Calcification: Association With Ischemic Stroke
This study retrospectively included 354 subjects with ischemic stroke in the MCA territory and 1518 control subjects who underwent computed tomography (CT) of the brain. We recorded major known risk factors for ischemic stroke, including age, gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, hyperlipidemia, and obesity, along with the MCA calcium burden, measured with the Agatston calcium scoring method. Univariate and modified logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the association between the MCA calcification and ischemic stroke. The univariate analyses showed significant associations of ischemic stroke w...

Association between the high risk for obstructive sleep apnea and intracranial carotid artery calcification in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that the presence of calcium in symptomatic intracranial ICA was related to high risk for OSA in patients with acute ischemic stroke. PMID: 32562170 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Blood Pressure Variability during Angiography in Patients with Ischemic Stroke and Intracranial Artery Stenosis.
Authors: Pan H, Zhao R, Liu FD, Wu YL, Li GF, Shi YH, Liu YS, Zhao Y, Zhuang MT, Hou TY, Zhang QT, Yao Q, Qiao Y, Huang RJ, Chen LN, Zhu YM, Shu L, Su JJ, Fang J, Tang XM, Wang S, Cui GH, Wang DZ, Liu JR Abstract Our aim was to investigate factors predicting blood pressure (BP) variability during diagnostic cerebral angiography and associations between BP variability and clinical outcomes in patients with acute and subacute ischemic stroke and intracranial artery stenosis. 114 patients with ischemic stroke and intracranial artery stenosis (stenosis rate >50%) were recruited. Patients who underwent cerebral angio...

Meta-analysis of effects of calcium channel blockers in prevention of stroke in adults with hypertension
Source: PLoS One Area: News The specific effects of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) against stroke in patients with hypertension as compared to no treatment and other antihypertensive drug classes are not known.   A systematic review and meta-analysis of data from 273,543 participants in 31 RCTs was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of CCBs on stroke in patients with hypertension in studies of CCBs versus placebo, ACE inhibitors (ACEIs), ?-adrenergic blockers, and diuretics.   A literature search to July 31, 2012 identified 31 RCTs with 273,543 participants (including 130,466 experimental subjects and 1...

A Cost-Utility Analysis of Calcium Channel Blockers (Ccbs) Compared with Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (Arbs) In Preventing Stroke And Myocardial Infarction Among Hypertension Patients In The Taiwan
Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke and myocardial infarction (MI), which imposes a substantial burden on patients, caregivers, and society. Despite the high financial burden, limited studies have examined the cost-effectiveness of hypertension treatments in Taiwan. This cost utility analysis was conducted to determine the costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) associated with amlodipine (CCB) and valsartan (ARB) in preventing stroke and MI among Taiwanese hypertension patients.

Coronary Calcium Score and Stratification of Coronary Artery Disease Risk in Patients with Atherosclerotic and Non-Atherosclerotic Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion Atherosclerotic IS did not present a greater risk of CAD when compared to non-atherosclerotic IS according to CCS. Only age ≥ 60 years, but not etiology, was independently associated with CCS ≥ 100.
