Dynamic changes of carotid atherosclerosis and their relations with stroke recurrence in patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack
CONCLUSION: Plaque progression occurred in 46% of stroke or TIA patients. Plaque progression was significantly associated with clinical stroke recurrence. Plaque regressed in 6.5% of patients. Patients with regression were younger than those without.PMID:35996235 | DOI:10.2174/1567202619666220822141804

Statins therapy is associated with increased populations of early endothelial progenitor (CD133+/VEGFR2+) and endothelial (CD34-/CD133-/VEGFR2+) cells in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Statins treatment is likely to have a positive effect on spontaneous CD133+/VEGFR2+ and CD34¯/CD133¯/VEGFR2+ cell mobilization triggered by stroke. PMID: 29886830 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A high burden of ischemic stroke in regions of Eastern/Central Europe is largely due to modifiable risk factors.
Abstract Incidence and mortality of ischemic stroke in Croatia is significantly higher than in many other developed European countries. Here, we aimed to evaluate underlying conditions of this unacceptably high ischemic stroke burden. An observational prospective cohort study of ) first-ever ischemic stroke patients identified in a population-based incidence study (N=751) (study 1, S1) and a concurrent case-control trial (215 patients, 125 controls, S2) were conducted in the country of Varazdin from 2007-2010. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was common (36.1% in S1, 40.9% in S2) and mostly (>50%) unrecognized before t...
