Prognostic Significance of Fragmented QRS in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries1 and has a strong relationship with cardiovascular system disorders.2 Due to this relationship, the connection between brain and heart has become increasingly important and neurocardiology has emerged as a popular concept over the recent years.3 Electrocardiographic abnormalities and various cardiac arrhythmias occurring especially after stroke support this phenomenon.4 ST segment and/or T-wave abnormalities without myocardial ischemia,5 left axis deviation, QT prolongation,6 QT dispersion,7 atrial fibrillation (AF), sinus tachycardia, ventricular ...

Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia with or without a history of clinical stroke
Commentary on: Kalantarian S, Stern TA, Mansour M, et al.. Cognitive impairment associated with atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis. Ann Intern Med 2013;158(5 Pt 1):338–46. Context Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. The estimated US prevalence of 2.7–6.1 million is expected to increase to 5.6–12.1 million by the middle of the current century. In addition, AF prevalence dramatically increases with age: <1% in individuals aged 50–59 years are affected, whereas about 10% of those aged 80–84 years and 11–18% of those ≥85 ...

Non-vitamin-K oral anticoagulants reduce mortality, stroke and intracranial haemorrhage when compared with warfarin in randomised trials of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
Commentary on: Ruff CT, Giugliano RP, Braunwald E, et al.. Comparison of the efficacy and safety of new oral anticoagulants with warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis of randomised trials. Lancet 2014;383:955–62. Context Historically, the standard medication for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) has been a vitamin-K antagonist (warfarin). However, several non-vitamin-K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been developed and shown to be at least as effective as dose-adjusted warfarin in their respective phase-3 clinical trials.1–4 These include the direct thrombin inhibitor dabig...

Rate and rhythm control have comparable effects on mortality and stroke in atrial fibrillation but better data are needed
Commentary on: Al-Khatib SM, Allen LaPointe NM, Chatterjee R, et al.. Rate- and rhythm-control therapies in patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review. Ann Intern Med 2014;160:760–73. Context Atrial fibrillation (AF) represents a large and growing burden on cardiovascular healthcare and leads to a substantial impact on quality-of-life, increased cardiovascular events and a doubling of hospitalisation and death rates.1 Unlike many other cardiac conditions, the evidence base for treatment in AF remains patchy with clear gaps relating to a number of clinically important management strategies. Current practic...

Cardiac Arrhythmias and Acute Cerebrovascular Events: A Case of QT Prolongation and Torsades de Pointes Early After Right Insular Stroke
Stroke involving some areas of the cerebral hemisphere, such as insula, amygdala, and lateral hypothalamus, may cause changes in autonomic control of cardiac function. A 58-year-old woman presented to the emergency department for acute onset of left facial-brachial-crural hemiparesis and dysarthria. A brain CT scan showed subacute ischemic lesion with hemorrhagic infarction in right insular-rolandic cortex. Over the next few days ECG showed severe bradycardia with elongation of QTc, significative pauses (5 seconds), runs of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and torsades de pointes.

Anticipatory Postural Adjustments During Gait Initiation in Stroke Patients
Conclusion
This systematic review provides an update on GI-APA reorganization following stroke. Stroke patients present atypical GI-APA patterns, longer GI-APA duration and lower GI-APA amplitude compared to healthy people, regardless of which leg is used as the leading or trailing leg. GI is facilitated when the non-paretic leg is used as the trailing leg because the weakness of the paretic leg leads to difficulties in supporting body weight during the upcoming stance phase. Further experiments should include distinct groups of patients in order to describe GI-APA features in acute, subacute and chronic stroke, and the i...

Stroke Awareness In Outpatients. (P2.302)
CONCLUSIONS: General knowledge about CVRF is still insufficient in the outpatient population, even when assessed in the cardiology or neurology clinic. We believe that increased knowledge about stroke in outpatients, compared to inpatients, is due to higher educational level and a higher amount of family members with a history of stroke.

Modafinil for the Improvement of Patient Outcomes Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Conclusion. Modafinil is a central nervous system stimulant with well-established effectiveness in the treatment of narcolepsy and shift-work sleep disorder. There is conflicting evidence about the benefits of modafinil in the treatment of fatigue and EDS secondary to TBI. One randomized, controlled study states that modafinil does not significantly improve patient wakefulness, while another concludes that modafinil corrects EDS but not fatigue. An observational study provides evidence that modafinil increases alertness in fatigued patients with past medical history of brainstem diencephalic stroke or multiple sclerosis. ...
