Prognosis of patients assisted in the emergency unit by the 'TIA protocol' in a third-level hospital at 90 days
CONCLUSIONS: Rapid TIA protocols allow early care and avoid hospital admissions, without increasing the incidence of cardiovascular events or recurrence of stroke or TIA at 90 days.PMID:35148420 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7404.2021236

Cryptogenic stroke and TIA: Suggested diagnostic approach while waiting for evaluation and treatment guidelines
CONCLUSIONS: An individual approach and targeted diagnostics using advanced medical technologies in selected patients, who may benefit from a tailored treatment regimen, can help reveal a probable cause in the majority of strokes and TIAs previously classified as cryptogenic.PMID:35146751 | DOI:10.1111/ane.13590

Systematic Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients at Moderate-to-High Risk of Stroke 　- Potential to Increase the Atrial Fibrillation Detection Rate (SCAN-AF)
CONCLUSIONS: Sequential use of a BP monitor and handheld ECG for 4 weeks is a practical strategy for identifying undiagnosed AF in Japanese people at heightened risk of stroke.PMID:35125371 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-21-0813

Long ‐term prognostic value of vasodilator stress cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsVasodilator stress perfusion CMR demonstrated an excellent diagnostic and significant prognostic value at long-term follow-up in high-risk patients with persistent AF and suspected or known CAD.

Subclinical leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: no association with left ventricular reverse remodeling at 1-year follow-up
AbstractHypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) of transcatheter aortic valves is detected on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and reflects leaflet thrombosis. Whether HALT affects left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling, a favorable effect of LV afterload reduction after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the association of HALT after TAVI with LV reverse remodeling. In this multicenter case –control study, patients with HALT on MDCT were identified, and patients without HALT were propensity matched for valve type and size, LV ejection fraction (LVE...

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Without Schistocytes: Beware of Misdiagnosis
A 43-year-old woman was admitted for acute unusual headache, vertigo, and left upper limb weakness. She had been complaining of asthenia for the past few weeks. Her medical history included uterine cervix cancer treated with conisation and 2 pregnancies without serious complications. No allergy or recent drug introduction was noted. After ruling out current pregnancy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was immediately performed and showed recent ischemic strokes in multiple territories. Doppler ultrasound imaging showed no carotid or vertebral arteries lesion. Electrocardiogram showed no ST elevation or atrial fibrillation, ...

The Routine Follow-up Head CT: Is it Still a Necessary Step in the Thrombolysis Pathway?
ConclusionsThe 24-h head CT scan does not change management for most patients, particularly those with low National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores who do not undergo MT. Consideration should be given to removing routine follow-up imaging from postthrombolysis protocols in favor of an examination-based approach.

Application of Machine Learning Techniques to Identify Data Reliability and Factors Affecting Outcome After Stroke Using Electronic Administrative Records
Conclusion: Electronic administrative records from this cohort produced reliable outcome prediction and identified clinically appropriate factors negatively impacting most outcome variables following hospital admission with stroke. This presents a means of future identification of modifiable factors associated with patient discharge destination. This may potentially aid in patient selection for certain interventions and aid in better patient and clinician education regarding expected discharge outcomes.

Assessment of patients with a suspected cardioembolic ischemic stroke. A national consensus statement
Conclusions: A primary neurological and neuroradiological assessment is mandatory and neurovascular specialists should manage the initiation of secondary prophylactic treatment. If a cardioembolic stroke is suspected, a dedicated cardiologist experienced in the management of cardioembolism should provide a tailored clinical and echocardiographic assessment.PMID:34470566 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2021.1973085
