Ischemic strokes in COVID-19: risk factors, obesity paradox, and distinction between trigger and causal association
ConclusionOur stroke occurrence rate is consistent with other population-based reports (range 0.34–2.7%). Prespecified peculiar clinical and radiological features allow the distinction between “IS caused by COVID-19” and “IS triggered by COVID-19.” Clinical history of vascular diseases and risk factors is crucial in determining the risk of IS in patients with COVID-19. However, the protective effect of a BMI > 30 kg/m2 seems to suggest an obesity paradox.

E-086 The effect of covid-19 vaccines on stroke outcomes: a single-center study
ConclusionAlthough vaccination did not show any significant difference in stroke patient outcomes on follow-up, vaccines were associated with lower rates of morbidity and mortality at discharge among stroke patients during the pandemic.Abstract E-086 Table 1Comparison of outcomes between COVID-19-positive unvaccinated vs. fully vaccinated patients presenting with stroke.*Adjusted for hypertension, atrial fibrillation, PVD, admission NIHSS, ASPECTS, tandem occlusion, and thrombectomy Unvaccinated Vaccinated Effect Variable Unadjusted Value (95% CI ) Unadjusted p-value Adjusted Value (95% CI )* Adjusted p-value* Primary Out...

Trends in the Longitudinal Utilization of Oral Anticoagulants Among Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid Insurance
Long-term oral anticoagulation (OAC) is recommended for stroke prevention for most patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and elevated stroke risk.1 While trends in initiation of OAC have been described,2,3 long-term trends in utilization of OAC in patients continuously followed for AF have not been adequately explored. Some healthcare systems adapted anticoagulation services to respond to disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic.4 We thus investigated how OACs were utilized in patients with newly diagnosed AF from 2018 to 2021 across 3 insurance types: Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial.

ICAM-1 and VCAM-1: gatekeepers in various inflammatory and cardiovascular disorders
Clin Chim Acta. 2023 Jul 11:117487. doi: 10.1016/j.cca.2023.117487. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLeukocyte migration from the vascular compartment is critical fornormal lymphocyte recirculation in specific tissues and immune response in inflammatory locations. Leukocyte recruitment, migration to inflammatory areas, and targeting in the extravascular space are caused by cellular stimulation and local expression of adhesion molecules. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules with a crucial role in mediating t...

Improving door-to-reperfusion time in acute ischemic stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic: experience from a public comprehensive stroke center in Brazil
ConclusionAcute stroke care continued to be a priority despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The implementation of a thrombolytic bolus and the start of continuous infusion on the CT scan table was the main factor that contributed to the reduction of DNT. Continuous monitoring of service times is essential for improving the quality of the stroke center and achieving better functional outcomes for patients.

A Statewide Population-Linkage Study on the Impact of Atrial Fibrillation on Outcomes in 145,293 Patients Admitted With COVID-19
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in COVID-19 patients. The impact of AF on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE defined as all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, heart failure or revascularisation), recurrent admissions with AF, and venous thromboembolism in patients hospitalised with COVID-19 is not well-defined.

Cerebrovascular disease in COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: COVID-19 infection is associated with an increased risk for acute CVD and is associated with cardioembolic and cryptogenic etiologies and the risk factors of atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, diabetes and hypertension in COVID-19 positive patients.PMID:37283635 | PMC:PMC10241400 | DOI:10.53854/liim-3102-2
