Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy and Stroke
The incidence and type of stroke in the setting of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) can vary, depending on the patient population being studied [1–5]. For this reason, we sought to investigate the occurrence of TC together with stroke at our institution (Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Arizona). To do this, we identified all patients with a diagnosis of TC per ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Edition) (ICD-9 code 429.83; October 1, 2006, to October 31, 2011) (Table 1) or apical ballooning syndrome (ICD-9 code 419.89; January 1, 2006, to September 30, 2006) in a retrospective analysis of the electronic medical records.

Chagas Cardiomyopathy is Associated With Higher Incidence of Stroke: A Meta-analysis of Observational Studies
Chagas disease (CD) has been associated with an elevated risk of stroke, but current data are conflicting and prospective controlled studies are lacking. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the association between stroke and CD.

The Indian consensus guidance on stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: An emphasis on practical use of nonvitamin K oral anticoagulants
Publication date: December 2015 Source:Indian Heart Journal, Volume 67, Supplement 2 Author(s): Jamshed Dalal, Abhay Bhave, Abraham Oomman, Amit Vora, Anil Saxena, Dhiman Kahali, Fali Poncha, D.S. Gambhir, Jaydip Ray Chaudhuri, Nakul Sinha, Saumitra Ray, S.S. Iyengar, Suvro Banerjee, Upendra Kaul The last ten years have seen rapid strides in the evolution of nonvitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). For the preparation of this consensus, a comprehensive literature search was performed and data on available trials, subpopulation analyses, and ca...

Mechanisms of cardioembolic stroke revisited. Atrial cardiopathy.
Abstract There has been only moderate progress in our understanding of potential relation between atrial arrhythmia and stroke over years. Current approach is still based on a hypothesis that atrial contractile dysfunction due to fibrillation causes blood stasis, which accompanied by other factors acting together as Virchow's triad produces thrombus and embolism to the brain. In this review we would like to discuss a relatively new concept of atrial cardiopathy. It assumes that risk of thromboembolism is increased regardless of atrial rhythm, being largely driven by atrial tissue abnormalities, such as fibrosis, e...

Temporal trends of the prevalence and incidence of atrial fibrillation and stroke among Asian patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A nationwide population-based study
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke are common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of AF and stroke in patients with HCM during a 10-year period.

Extremely low prevalence of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and transient cardiac dysfunction in stroke patients with T-wave abnormalities
Stone et al. studied an important association about the presence of cerebral T-waves in 800 patients with ischemic stroke1. They demonstrated that about 17 (2.1%) patients presenting with stroke exhibited cerebral T-waves and of those, only 3 patients (18%) with T-wave abnormality have transient systolic dysfunction on echocardiography. Thus overall, only 0.0037% (3 of 800) patients developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) in the study group of patients with stroke.1

Gender differences and management of stroke risk of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in an upper middle-income country: Insights from the CARMEN-AF registry
ConclusionsCARMEN-AF Registry demonstrates that in Mexico, regardless of gender, a large proportion of patients remain undertreated. No gender differences were found in the use of VKA or DOAC.

Young Patients with Unknown Stroke and Little P Wave in ECG.
Authors: Chen YH, Chen YY, Huang WJ, Xiao FY Abstract Here we report two young patients with atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter complicated with cardiogenic cerebral embolism. Electrophysiological study revealed a large area of low-voltage zone or area of electric silence in both sides of the atrium during restoration of sinus rhythm, and the echocardiogram showed loss of mechanical function of the atrium. The electrical-mechanical dysfunction of the atrium was considered to be the cause of embolic event in this type of patient who was "very low" stroke risk atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. The idiopathic, fi...

Relation of Advanced Interatrial Block to Risk of Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke
Advanced interatrial block (A-IAB) has been associated to atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke, raising the question as to whether such patients, even when still in sinus rhythm without documented AF, could benefit from oral anticoagulation. AF and A-IAB are both markers of stroke. The anatomical substrate in both is fibrotic atrial cardiomyopathy, resulting in atrial electromechanical dyssynchrony, dysfunction, and left atrial remodelling, that favour blood stasis and hypercoagulation. Under these conditions thrombogenic cascade may be triggered, resulting in systemic embolization.
