Lower systolic blood pressure is associated with poorer survival in long-term survivors of stroke
Conclusion:There was a greater risk of poor outcome in long-term survivors of stroke with low SBP. This is further evidence that low SBP may result in poor prognosis. Ideal blood pressure levels for long-term survivors of stroke may need to be reassessed.

ICARUSS, the Integrated Care for the Reduction of Secondary Stroke trial: rationale and design of a randomized controlled trial of a multimodal intervention to prevent recurrent stroke in patients with a recent cerebrovascular event, ACTRN = 12611000264987
ConclusionThe ICARUSS study aims to recruit and follow up patients between 2007 and 2013 and demonstrate the effectiveness of exposure to the ICARUSS model in stroke survivors to reduce recurrent stroke or vascular events and promote the implementation of best practice risk factor management at primary care level.

Comparison of Ventricular Assist Device (VAD)-Related Stroke to the General Stroke Population: Associations with In-Hospital Mortality (P1.223)
Conclusions: Ischemic stroke in patients with VAD is associated with high in-hospital mortality. Although both older patients and women comprised a smaller percentage of VADWS than in the general stroke population, there was no age or sex association with mortality. While pre-existing CAD was more prevalent in VADWS, these patients had lower in-hospital mortality, possibly suggesting an additional unidentified subset with high mortality. Further study is needed to explore the associations between age, sex, and CAD in patients with VAD and ischemic stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Peters has nothing to disclose. Dr. Singh has nothing...

Incidence, Trends, and Predictors of Ischemic Stroke 30 Days After an Acute Myocardial Infarction Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The incidence of ischemic stroke within 30 days of an AMI has decreased during the period 1998 to 2008. This decrease is associated with increased use of acetylsalicylic acid, P2Y12 inhibitors, statins, and percutaneous coronary intervention.

Socioeconomic Position and Incidence of Ischemic Stroke in Denmark 2003-2012. A Nationwide Hospital-Based Study Stroke
Conclusions In Denmark, there is a strong relation between low socioeconomic position and risk for hospitalization for stroke. Lifestyle, as indicated by smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption, and diabetes appears to increase the risk for stroke in people with lower socioeconomic position.

Four-Year Follow-Up of Transient Ischemic Attacks, Strokes, and Mimics: A Retrospective Transient Ischemic Attack Clinic Cohort Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Our results show a lower 90-day stroke incidence after TIA or minor stroke than in earlier studies, suggesting that rapid access daily TIA clinics may be having a significant effect on reducing strokes.

Infection, vaccination, and childhood arterial ischemic stroke
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel to the brain is either blocked or ruptured. When blood to part of the brain is blocked, it causes what is called an ischemic stroke. Stroke is much more common in adults and the elderly. This is because fats and cholesterol can build up and block blood vessels as we age. Stroke is much less common in children. Stroke occurs in 11 per 100,000 children under the age of 18 every year.1 Still, it is one of the top 10 causes of death for children.2 We don't routinely expect children to have the major risk factors for atherosclerosis, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, an...

Risk of stroke in retinal vein occlusion
Conclusions: The present study provides new evidence that patients with incident RVO are at increased risk of stroke just after RVO occurrence. Immediate risk evaluation and proper treatment of stroke risk factors in patients with RVO are needed to reduce stroke-related mortality and morbidity.

Pharmacogenetic Associations of {beta}1-Adrenergic Receptor Polymorphisms With Cardiovascular Outcomes in the SPS3 Trial (Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes) Clinical Sciences
Conclusion—Among individuals with previous small artery ischemic stroke, the ADRB1 Gly49 polymorphism was associated with MACE, particularly small artery ischemic stroke, a risk that may be increased among β-blocker-treated individuals. Further research is needed to define β-blocker benefit among ischemic stroke patients by ADRB1 genotype.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00059306.

Differential Effect of B-Vitamin Therapy by Antiplatelet Use on Risk of Recurrent Vascular Events After Stroke Brief Reports
Conclusions— High-dose B vitamin therapy may be associated with a higher risk of recurrent stroke among stroke survivors taking antiplatelets, but does not have a significant effect on recurrent stroke risk in those who are not on antiplatelets. Future randomized controlled trials may consider evaluating the effect of homocysteine lowering among stroke survivors with elevated homocysteine who are not on antiplatelet therapy.

Shared genetic susceptibility of vascular-related biomarkers with ischemic and recurrent stroke
Conclusions: Our data identify a genetic contribution to inflammatory and hemostatic biomarkers in a stroke population. Additionally, our results suggest shared genetic contributions to circulating CRP levels measured poststroke and risk for incident and recurrent ischemic stroke. These data broaden our understanding of genetic contributors to biomarker variation and ischemic stroke risk, which should be useful in clinical risk evaluation.
