A review of carotid and vertebral artery dissection
This article reviews the literature to provide practical information for clinicians to recognise key risk factors and features of history and examination which should raise suspicion of cervical artery dissection. Diagnosis can now be made using the non-invasive, commonly available modalities of computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography. Timely treatment with antithrombotic agents is recommended to reduce the rate of an ischaemic stroke.PMID:35506728 | DOI:10.12968/hmed.2021.0421

Genetic associations of adult height with risk of cardioembolic and other subtypes of ischemic stroke: A mendelian randomization study in multiple ancestries
by Andrew B. Linden, Robert Clarke, Imen Hammami, Jemma C. Hopewell, Yu Guo, William N. Whiteley, Kuang Lin, Iain Turnbull, Yiping Chen, Canqing Yu, Jun Lv, Alison Offer, Derrick Bennett, Robin G. Walters, Liming Li, Zhengming Chen, Sarah Parish, for the China Kadoorie Biobank Collaborative Group
BackgroundTaller adult height is associated with lower risks of ischemic heart disease in mendelian randomization (MR) studies, but little is known about the causal relevance of height for different subtypes of ischemic stroke. The present study examined the causal relevance of height for different subtypes of ischemic stroke. Met...

What you need to know about: arterial cerebrovascular syndromes caused by static or dynamic musculoskeletal compression
Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2022 Mar 2;83(3):1-9. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2021.0091. Epub 2022 Mar 31.ABSTRACTCompressive syndromes of the cervical arteries caused by musculoskeletal structures include bow hunter's syndrome, beauty parlour stroke syndrome, carotid compression by the hyoid bone, carotid compression by the digastric muscle and Eagle syndrome. They are a rare but increasingly recognised group of syndromes, so a high level of suspicion is needed so the diagnosis is not missed. The diagnosis is typically based on a combination of clinical history and advanced imaging investigations. Compression of the arteries may be stat...
