Systemic Sclerosis Patients May Benefit from Targeted Stroke Screening
Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) may benefit from targeted stroke screening or prevention therapies. A recent study revealed SSc may be independently associated with stroke, finding the risk of stroke was 20–30% higher in SSc patients than healthy controls...

Case Report: Giant Cell Arteritis-Related Stroke
Thromboembolic events are major contributors to the morbidity and mortality of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), but little is known about how GCA may increase the risk of ischemic strokes. GCA-related stroke is described as an ischemic cerebral infarct occurring within three to four weeks of GCA diagnosis and treatment. It occurs in 3–7%... [Read More]

Imaging pattern and outcome of stroke in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a case-control study.
CONCLUSION: Stroke in SLE patients is associated with a poorer outcome than matched controls in terms of functional recovery, recurrence and mortality.

The risk of ischemic stroke in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionIIMs, especially patients with DM, are associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Appropriate intervention may be taken into account for patients with IIM, especially when accompanied by other traditional risk factors of ischemic stroke.Key Points•This study evaluated the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with IIMs.•Generally, IIMs are associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke.•Patients with DM had a 49% excess risk of ischemic stroke than controls.•Subgroup analysis showed that Asian patients with IIMs were at increased risk of ischemic stroke, but not Americans.

Association Between Ischemic Stroke and Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitor Therapy in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
ConclusionExposure to TNFi does not appear to influence the occurrence of ischemic stroke in the medium term in patients with RA. The impact on mortality after ischemic stroke remains inconclusive.

Herpes Zoster and the Risk for Stroke in Patients with Autoimmune Diseases
Conclusion: In patients with autoimmune diseases, incident HZ was associated with up to a two‐fold increased risk for stroke in the subsequent few months. These data provide urgency for developing strategies to reduce the risk of VZV. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Giant Cell Arteritis-related Stroke: A Retrospective Multicenter Case-control Study.
CONCLUSION: Stroke, especially in the vertebrobasilar territory, is more likely to occur in patients with GCA who experience recent ophthalmic ischemic symptoms and who exhibit low inflammatory variables.

Herpes Zoster and the Risk of Stroke in Patients With Autoimmune Diseases
ConclusionIn patients with autoimmune diseases, incident HZ was associated with as much as a 2‐fold increased risk of stroke in the subsequent few months. These data underscore the urgency of developing strategies for reducing the risk of varicella‐zoster virus.

Gout as a risk factor for myocardial infarction and stroke in England: evidence from record linkage studies
Conclusion. Gout was associated with increased risk of stroke as well as MI. These findings should be considered by clinicians and may have implications for preventive management of circulatory disease risks in people with gout.

Mortality and Functionality after Stroke in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
CONCLUSION: Compared to subjects without SLE, mortality after ischemic stroke increases after the first month in individuals with SLE, and functionality is worse at 3 months. SLE is associated with all-cause death after hemorrhagic stroke even during the first month. A shift of focus to patient functionality and prevention of hemorrhagic strokes is required.

Artificial intelligence-based preventive, personalized and precision medicine for cardiovascular disease/stroke risk assessment in rheumatoid arthritis patients: a narrative review
AbstractThe challenges associated with diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease (CVD)/Stroke in Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) arise from the delayed onset of symptoms. Existing clinical risk scores are inadequate in predicting cardiac events, and conventional risk factors alone do not accurately classify many individuals at risk. Several CVD biomarkers consider the multiple pathways involved in the development of atherosclerosis, which is the primary cause of CVD/Stroke in RA. To enhance the accuracy of CVD/Stroke risk assessment in the RA framework, a proposed approach involves combining genomic-based biomarkers (GBBM) ...

Clinical and vascular features of Takayasu arteritis at the time of ischemic stroke.
Conclusions: Our results showed a high prevalence of stroke in TA and revealed most of these events occurred concomitantly with diagnosed TA. Moreover, although four patients had strokes after diagnosis of TA, these occurred at a young age, demonstrating they were most likely the result of vascular changes secondary to TA.

CHA2DS2-VASc score for prediction of ischemic stroke in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus without atrial fibrillation.
Conclusions We found that a CHA2DS2-VASc score greater than or equal to 2 in SLE patients without AF is associated with a significantly higher rate of ischemic stroke.

Increased risk of ischemic stroke in systemic sclerosis: a national cohort study of US veterans.
CONCLUSION: SSc is independently associated with a higher risk of ischemic stroke among U.S. veterans. Patients with SSc represent a population likely to benefit from targeted stroke screening or prevention therapies.
