Association of breast arterial calcification with stroke and angiographically proven coronary artery disease: a meta-analysis
Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis of the current literature to deduce the strength of association between breast arterial calcification (BAC) and coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or stroke. Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Ovid were searched for English-language literature up to August 2013 using the terms “breast arterial calcification,” “breast vascular calcification,” “coronary artery disease,” “coronary heart disease,” “cardiovascular disease,” “abnormal coronary angiography,” and “stroke.” A hand search of the reference lists of key articles was performed to s...

Stroke after Pregnancy Disorders
Women with hypertensive pregnancy disorders are at risk of developing stroke, possibly mediated by female-specific risk factors. Pregnancy is considered to be a stress test for cardiovascular health later in life [1]. In the current study we assessed the occurrence of pregnancy disorders, among women with a history of ischemic stroke who participated in the Dutch acute stroke study (DUST) and related these risk factors to age of stroke onset, stroke subtype, radiological characteristics and clinical outcome.

Stroke in Pregnancy
Pregnancy confers a substantially increased risk of stroke, especially during the third trimester and until 6  weeks postpartum. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational hypercoagulability are important contributors to obstetric stroke. Preeclampsia and eclampsia confer risk for future cardiovascular disease. Hemorrhagic stroke is the most common type of obstetric stroke. Ischemic stroke can res ult from cardiomyopathy, paradoxical embolism, posterior reversible encephalopathy, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, and dissections. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a frequent complication of pregnancy.

Treatment Patterns and Short-Term Outcomes in Ischemic Stroke in Pregnancy or Postpartum
Stroke is a rare but devastating event during pregnancy, occurring in 34/100,000 deliveries, and obstetricians are often the first providers to be contacted by symptomatic patients. At least half of pregnancy-related strokes are likely to be of the ischemic stroke subtype. Most pregnant or newly postpartum women with ischemic stroke do not receive acute stroke reperfusion therapy although this is the recommended treatment for adults. Little is known about these therapies in pregnant or postpartum women as pregnancy has been an exclusion criteria for all reperfusion trials.

Treatment patterns and short-term outcomes in ischemic stroke in pregnancy or postpartum period
Stroke, which is a rare but devastating event during pregnancy, occurs in 34 of every 100,000 deliveries; obstetricians are often the first providers to be contacted by symptomatic patients. At least one-half of pregnancy-related strokes are likely to be of the ischemic stroke subtype. Most pregnant or newly postpartum women with ischemic stroke do not receive acute stroke reperfusion therapy, although this is the recommended treatment for adults. Little is known about these therapies in pregnant or postpartum women because pregnancy has been an exclusion criterion for all reperfusion trials.

Increased cardiac and stroke death risk in the first year after discontinuation of postmenopausal hormone therapy
Conclusions: Discontinuation of postmenopausal HT may be associated with increased risk of cardiac and stroke death in the first posttreatment year. Further investigation is required to evaluate causality of the observed associations.

Acute Management of Ischemic Stroke During Pregnancy.
Abstract Acute stroke in pregnancy can be devastating. Although neurologists will at some point be involved in the management, most of these patients are likely to first be evaluated by an obstetric care provider. It is, therefore, important for obstetric care providers to have an understanding of the presentation and management of stroke, particularly in the initial period when the window of opportunity for therapy is critical. Once suspected, a head computed tomography (CT) without contrast media should be performed without delay to rule out a hemorrhagic component. Patients presenting within 4.5 hours of sympto...

Personality traits and the risk of coronary heart disease or stroke in women with diabetes – an epidemiological study based on the Women's Health Initiative
Conclusions: Hostility was associated with incidence of CHD among postmenopausal women with diabetes, especially among incident diabetes. These results provide a basis for targeted prevention programs for women with a high level of hostility and diabetes.

Diagnostic of rare form of acute stroke (venous stroke) in early postpartum period
Introduction: Venous stroke (VS) is a rare form of acute ischemic stroke as a thrombosis of Trolard vein (the frequency 0.1% to 3 –5%) occurs when the outflow of blood from the superficial cortical veins of the brain along the large anastomotic vein of Trolard and the small anastomotic vein of Labbe in turn, flow into the large vein of Gallen, which collects blood from the deep cerebral veins and falls into a straight sinus. Verification of VS is difficult due to the following features: the defeat of the parieto-occipital region gives meagre focal neurologic symptoms and more pronounced cerebral symptoms.

Stroke recurrence in pregnancy: Experience at a regional referral center
Although stroke is more common with advancing age, especially in the elderly, women of reproductive age may still suffer from stroke, and from its deleterious consequences. Women of reproductive age who suffer a stroke may do so either due to a specific predisposition, or due to pregnancy-related hypertensive emergencies.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and long-term risk of maternal stroke —a systematic review and meta-analysis
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with a long-term risk for cardiovascular disease among parous patients later in life. However, relatively little is known about whether hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke in later life. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the available literature on the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and the long-term risk for maternal stroke.

Use of combined hormonal contraceptives among women with migraines and risk of ischemic stroke
Migraine with aura and combined hormonal contraceptives are independently associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. However, little is known about whether there are any joint effects of migraine and hormonal contraceptives on risk of stroke.

841: Stroke in pregnancy
In the US, stroke associated with pregnancy occurs in about 35 per 100,000 births. Prior studies have focused on national registries or medico-legal case series. Our objectives were to 1) describe type, antecedent events, and outcomes with strokes and 2) compare women with hypertensive disorders versus those without, as well as those with stroke in antepartum versus postpartum periods.

Gender and thrombolysis therapy in stroke patients with incidence of dyslipidemia
When untreated, dyslipidemia is a higher risk factor for stroke and stroke-related mortality in men than in women. However, when dyslipidemia is treated the risk reduction is the same, but men benefited from m...
