Using Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Ischemic Stroke Events After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
CONCLUSIONS: The RF model accurately predicts short- and long-term risk of IS and outperforms logistic regression analysis in patients undergoing PCI. Patients with periprocedural stroke may benefit from aggressive management to reduce the future risk of IS.PMID:37410747

Screening for Asymptomatic Atrial Fibrillation While Monitoring the Blood Pressure at Home: Trial of Regular Versus Irregular Pulse for Prevention of Stroke (TRIPPS 2.0)
In conclusion, home screening for asymptomatic AF while taking BP measurements can be performed accurately. This can be used to detect new AF, allowing treatment with anticoagulation to reduce the future risk for stroke.

Clinical predictors to identify paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after ischaemic stroke
ConclusionsIn acute stroke patients with advanced age, history of coronary artery disease and clinical symptoms >24 h, a prolonged Holter ECG monitoring and follow‐up is warranted to identify pAF. This could increase the detection rate of patients requiring anticoagulation and may be able to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke in the case of successful anticoagulation of these patients.

Life-threatening heat stroke presenting with ST elevations: a report of consecutive cases during the heat wave in Austria in July 2013.
We report a series of four cases (three exertional, one classic heat stroke) during the heat wave of July 2013 in Austria. All of them presented with a core temperature > 41 °C, central nervous dysfunction, acute respiratory and renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, rhabdomyolysis, and severe electrocardiographic changes, two cases even mimicking ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The patients were cooled to normal temperature with the "Arctic sun" external cooling system within hours. Electrocardiographic changes resolved quickly. All patients primarily recovered from multiple organ dysfunction a...

Finding atrial fibrillation in stroke patients: Randomized evaluation of enhanced and prolonged Holter monitoring—Find-AFRANDOMISED —rationale and design
Background: Detecting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with ischemic strokes presenting in sinus rhythm is challenging because episodes are often short, occur randomly, and are frequently asymptomatic. If AF is detected, recurrent thromboembolism can be prevented efficiently by oral anticoagulation. Numerous uncontrolled studies using various electrocardiogram (ECG) devices have established that prolonged ECG monitoring increases the yield of AF detection, but most established procedures are time-consuming and costly. The few randomized trials are mostly limited to cryptogenic strokes. The optimal method, du...

Controversies in Cardioembolic Stroke
Opinion statement Cardioembolic (CE) stroke mechanisms account for a significant number of ischemic strokes; however, the true burden is likely underestimated. It is critically important to identify patients with CE strokes because these individuals have high recurrence rates and represent a subgroup of patients who may benefit from targeted therapy in the form of anticoagulation or device based treatments. Current guidelines offer recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of these patients; however, important questions remain. First, appropriate cardiac testing in the setting of CE must be individualized and t...

Atrial Fibrillation in Young Ischemic Stroke Patients: An Underestimated Cause
Conclusion: AF was detected in 10.2% of young stroke patients and paroxysmal form of AF prevailed. Using of long-term ECG Holter monitoring improved the detection of AF. Patients with presence of AF had more frequently elevated serum specific cardiac markers.Eur Neurol 2015;73:158-163
