Stroke and rheumatic heart disease: A systematic review of observational studies
Abstract: Ischemic stroke is a severe complication of rheumatic heart disease (RHD), but data about its incidence and case-fatality in RHD patients’ population is unclear. We aimed to perform a systematic review of the literature to better define the incidence, prevalence and case-fatality of stroke in patients with RHD, and to estimate the proportion of RHD in stroke population. We searched Ovid Medline, EMBASE, CBM, CNKI and VIP for observational studies published in English or Chinese reporting the association of stroke and RHD until April 2011. Two authors independently assessed each study for eligibility based on pr...

Cerebral Microbleeds Determine Long-Term Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Lacunar Subtype (P1.015)
CONCLUSIONS: The presence, multiplicity and distribution of CMBs were associated with increased mortality in lacunar stroke patients. The detection and evaluation of CMBs is of value in predicting long-term prognosis in lacunar stroke patients. Study Supported: None.Disclosure: Dr. Song has nothing to disclose.

Thoracic aortic calcification is associated with incident stroke in the general population in addition to established risk factors
Conclusion Calcification of the thoracic aorta, more specifically its descending segment, is associated with incident stroke in addition to established risk factors. CAC outperforms aortic calcification as a stroke predictor.

Heart attack, stroke and diabetes 'can shorten life by 23 years'
Conclusion This study used two large cohort-derived data sets to estimate the number of years of life lost as the result of a history of heart attack, stroke or diabetes across different ages. The study's large size, relevance to the UK and long-term follow-up increases our confidence in its conclusions and their relevance to England and Wales. As with all studies, it has limitations, but these were relatively small and unlikely to affect the main conclusions. This study shows a history of stroke, type 2 diabetes and heart attack can significantly shorten life expectancy, especially if these conditions are developed earli...

IJERPH, Vol. 12, Pages 12618-12627: Lower Risk of Stroke after Deformity Surgery: Long Term Benefit Demonstrated by a National Cohort Study
Conclusions: In this national cohort of more than 13,000 ASD patients covering 10 years, stroke was approximately 25% less likely to happen in patients who underwent spinal fusion surgery than those who received medical management. Therefore, spinal fusion surgery may provide a protective effect against stroke in adult patients with spinal deformity.

Comparison of Risk Scores for the Prediction of Stroke in African Americans: Findings from the Jackson Heart Study
Conclusions Both scores were associated with incident stroke in a dose–response fashion; however, the CVD risk model was more discriminating than the CVH model. The CVH score may still be preferable for its simplicity in application to broad patient populations and public health efforts.

Risk Factors for In-Hospital Mortality among Ischemic Stroke Patients in Southern Taiwan
Conclusion Nearly 30% of in-hospital mortality is associated with preventable factors. The prognosis of acute stroke can be improved by increased focus on reducing serious complications after stroke, particularly on the prevention of infection, heart disease, and increased intracranial pressure.

PPARG gene C161T CT/TT associated with lower blood lipid levels and ischemic stroke from large-artery atherosclerosis in a Han population in Guangdong.
CONCLUSION: In this Han population, PPARG C161T CT/TT was associated with LAA ischemic stroke and lower levels of blood TC and LDL-C, but was not an independent risk factor for LAA ischemic stroke. PMID: 27264718 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Insights Into Timing, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in the PARTNER Trial (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves) Structural Heart Disease
Conclusions— Risk of stroke or TIA is highest early after TAVR and is associated with increased 1-year mortality. Modifications of TAVR, emboli-prevention devices, and better intraprocedural pharmacological protection may mitigate this risk. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00530894.

Stroke in patients with prosthetic valve endocarditis : Single-center cohort study in China.
CONCLUSION: Stroke is a common complication in PVE that increases patient mortality. Rheumatic heart disease, double valve replacement, and fungal infection may be risk factors for patients with PVE complicated by stroke. PMID: 31076822 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Depression may not be a risk factor for mortality in stroke patients with nonsurgical treatment: A retrospective case-controlled study
Patients with depression have more comorbidities than those without depression. The cost of depression-associated comorbidities accounts for the largest portion of the growing cost of depression treatment. Patients with depression have a higher risk of stroke with poor prognoses than those without depression; however, previous studies evaluating the relationship between depression and stroke prognosis have not accounted for surgical treatment or other risk factors. Therefore, we investigated whether depression is a risk factor for mortality in stroke patients with nonsurgical treatment after adjusting for other risk factor...

Statins in stroke.
Conclusion: Treatment with statins prevents ischemic stroke, especially in patients with high cardiovascular risk and established atherosclerotic disease. It seems that both lipid lowering and pleiotropic effects contribute to these effects. PMID: 31218948 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association of blood lipids, atherosclerosis and statin use with dementia and cognitive impairment after stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Atherosclerosis may be associated with an increased risk of post-stroke dementia. Post-stroke statin use was associated with decreased risk of cognitive impairment. To confirm whether or not statins confer advantages in the post-stroke population in terms of preventing cognitive decline over and above their known effectiveness in reducing risk of further vascular events, further stroke trials including cognitive assessment and observational analyses adjusted for key confounders, focusing on key subgroups or statin use patterns are required.
