The structured ambulatory post-stroke care program for outpatient aftercare in patients with ischaemic stroke in Germany (SANO): an open-label, cluster-randomised controlled trial
This study was registered with the German Clinical Trials Register, DRKS00015322.FINDINGS: Between Jan 1, 2019 and Dec 22, 2020, 36 clusters were assessed for eligibility, of which 30 were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=15 clusters) or control group (n=15 clusters). No clusters dropped out of the study. 1203 (86%) of 1396 enrolled patients in the intervention group and 1283 (92%) of 1395 enrolled patients in the control group were included in the mITT population. The primary endpoint was confirmed in 64 (5·3%) of 1203 patients in the intervention group and 80 (6·2%) of 1283 patients in the control group (...

The secondary prevention of stroke according to cytochrome P450 2C19 genotype in patients with acute large-artery atherosclerosis stroke.
Conclusions: Among IS patients treated with clopidogrel, carriers of a reduced-function CYP2C19 allele had a significantly higher rate of adverse vascular events than did noncarriers. It should avoid prescribing clopidogrel to these patients with known CYP2C19 polymorphisms. PMID: 29707143 [PubMed]

Response to clopidogrel is associated with early neurological deterioration after acute ischemic stroke.
Conclusions: CR and END are fairly common after acute IS. CR is associated with higher risk of END. Clopidogrel plus aspirin combination therapy provides greater inhibition of platelet aggregation, and may afford protection against END. PMID: 29731992 [PubMed]

Acute ischaemic stroke and myocardial infarction after chemotherapy with vinorelbine for non-small cell lung cancer: a case report.
We report about a 70-year-old male with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who received vinorelbine as an outpatient. The patient presents with a cardiovascular risk profile. He was admitted to the hospital 3 days later with acute left-sided hemiplegia and hemianopia. Brain computed tomography (CT) demonstrated acute right hemispheric ischaemic stroke. Nine days after admission, the patient additionally suffered ST elevation myocardial infarction. A coronary angiogram demonstrated high grade stenosis of the right coronary artery treated with two bare-metal stents. Caution should be noted in patients who present with a c...

Study: Increased risk of heart attack, stroke in months leading up to a cancer diagnosis
(American Society of Hematology) Older adults with cancer are more likely to have had a heart attack or stroke in the months prior to their cancer diagnosis compared with similar adults who do not have cancer during the same period, according to a report published online today in Blood.

Lost individual income due to severe health events: life-course perspective in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke and heart attack but not cancer have exogenous deleterious effects on individual economy, independently of early-life factors. The effects accelerate by time. Negative income trend in control men shows that severe health events do not explain all decrease in income.PMID:36040214 | DOI:10.1093/eurpub/ckac110

Breast Cancer and Incident Cardiovascular Events. A Systematic Analysis at the Nationwide Level
CONCLUSIONS: In a large and contemporary analysis of female patients seen in French hospitals, women with history of breast cancer had higher risk of all-cause mortality, new onset heart failure and major bleeding compared to a matched cohort of women without breast cancer. In contrast, they have a reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality, MI, and stroke.PMID:35113450 | DOI:10.1111/eci.13754

Cardiovascular outcomes among patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer: A comparative safety study using US administrative claims data
CONCLUSIONS: Our study sought to quantify risk of HHF, AMI and ischemic stroke among CRPC patients initiating AAP relative to ENZ within a national administrative claims database. Increased risk for HHF among AAP compared to ENZ users was observed. The difference in myocardial infarction did not attain statistical significance after controlling for residual bias, and no differences were noted in ischemic stroke between the two treatments. These findings confirm labeled warnings and precautions for AAP for HHF and contribute to the comparative real-world evidence on AAP relative to ENZ.PMID:36879362 | DOI:10.1002/pros.24510

Mortality and Vascular Events Among Elderly Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML): A Retrospective Analysis of Linked Seer-Medicare Data
Conclusions Elderly CML patients had higher mortality and higher rates of MI, stroke, PE and PAD than non-cancer patients. Event rates were not elevated among TKI-treated (primary imatinib) patients, suggesting that VE risk in these CML patients was driven primarily by underlying factors associated with CML. Teaser TKI treatment of CML may be associated with vascular events (VE). We examined event rates and mortality among elderly CML and non-cancer patients using linked cancer registry and Medicare claims data, 2003-2010. CML patients had higher mortality and VE rates. Rates were not elevated among TKI (primarily imatinib...
