The ABC's of Stroke Prevention: Reduction in Stroke Frequency Following a Quality Improvement Intervention by the Action Learning Network
To assess the frequency of stroke among ventricular assist device patients following a quality improvement bundled intervention (the “ABCs of Stroke Prevention” [ABCs] which focused on Anticoagulation, Blood pressure, and Communication) within the Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION). The bundle intervention comprised 3 interventions. These were: a document harmonizing how to implement and maintain b ivalirudin infusion, a blood pressure management protocol and a daily stroke prevention checklist.

Risk Predictors for Ischemic Stroke in CF-LVAD Patients by Pump Flow Type
Risk of stroke continues to be a major adverse event post-LVAD implantation, limiting wider application and utility of the device. Even with aggressive blood pressure control, patients with LVADs are at higher risk of stroke due to combination of pump-dependent factors including loss of natural pulsatility, anticoagulation, and thrombosis risk from blood-pump interaction. We used a Bayesian Network machine-learning approach to derive comparative risk factors for ischemic stroke in patients with axial versus centrifugal flow pumps at 3 months post LVAD implant.
