Cilostazol Attenuates Angiotensin II-Induced Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms but Not Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice.
CONCLUSIONS: Cilostazol attenuated angiotensin II-induced AAA formation by its anti-inflammatory effect through phosphodiesterase III inhibition in the aortic wall. Cilostazol may be a promising new therapeutic option for AAAs. PMID: 29437572 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Influence of dietary iron intake restriction on the development of hypertension in weanling prehypertensive rats
AbstractHypertension is a major public health problem leading to death. To reduce the morbidity and mortality in patients with hypertension, it is crucial to develop a novel strategy for prevention of hypertension. We have currently reported an attempt at dietary iron intake restriction as non-pharmacological treatment of hypertension in patients with hypertension. However, it remains fully unknown whether dietary iron restriction prevents the development of hypertension. We investigated the influence of dietary iron restriction on the development of hypertension in weanling pre-hypertensive model rats. 3-week-old male str...

The impact of lifestyle intervention on atrial fibrillation
Purpose of review Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, attributable to several factors that may be amenable through lifestyle modification. There is emerging evidence to suggest that the successful management of several cardiovascular risk factors [obesity, hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)] can lead to fewer complications and atrial fibrillation prevention. However, the long-term sustainability and reproducibility of these effects have yet to be explored in larger studies. This review explores recent findings for exercise and lifestyle modifications ...

High Dietary Saturated Fat is Associated with a Low Risk of Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Ischemic Stroke in Japanese but not in Non-Japanese: A Review and Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies.
CONCLUSIONS: In Japanese but not in non-Japanese, a diet high in saturated fat is associated with a low risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke. This may be due to differences in the range of intake of saturated fat, genetic susceptibility, incidence of lacunar infarction, and/or confounding factors such as dietary proteins. An intervention study targeting Japanese will be required to verify the causality. PMID: 29269706 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A High-Fat and High-Cholesterol Diet Induces Cardiac Fibrosis, Vascular Endothelial, and Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in SHRSP5/Dmcr Rats.
CONCLUSIONS: SHRSP5/Dmcr rats may be a suitable animal model for elucidating the organ interaction between NASH and cardiac or vascular dysfunction. PMID: 29162773 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Post Hospital Discharge Care for Complex Chronic Conditions: the Unique Challenges Facing Stroke Patients in their Homes
AbstractPurpose of ReviewStroke is a complex medical condition which can be overwhelming for patients, caregivers, and providers to manage in the outpatient setting. In this article, we review issues that providers may encounter in the management of chronic stroke such as stroke preventative medications, risk factor modification, medication adherence, dysphagia management, fall prevention, cognitive impairment, and rehabilitation.Recent FindingsThere is emerging evidence that stroke management should be comprehensive and therefore include post-stroke depression, diet, and physical activity for secondary prevention. Telemed...

Favourable hypotensive effect after standardised tomato extract treatment in hypertensive subjects at high estimated cardiovascular risk - a randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study show that the addition of STE to standard antihypertensive therapy improves blood pressure control in hypertensive patients with high CV risk. This effect, together with the anti-aggregation effect, may indicate the pleiotropic effect of tomato extract. This fact justifies further research into functional foods and gives new insights into STE as a food supplement that could have new therapeutic and prophylactic uses for the treatment of hypertensive patients with high CV risk and especially with obesity.

Review of Cardiometabolic Effects of Prescription Omega-3 Fatty Acids
AbstractPurpose of ReviewPopulations with significant dietary fish intake tend to have lower cardiovascular (CV) risk and demonstrable physiologic differences including lower lipid/lipoprotein levels and other direct and indirect effects on the arterial wall and inhibiting factors that promote atherosclerosis. Treatment with high doses of pharmacologic-grade omega-3 fatty acid (n-3FA) supplements achieves significant reductions in triglycerides (TG), non-high-density lipoprotein- (non-HDL-) and TG-rich lipoprotein- (TRL-) cholesterol levels.n-3FA supplements have significant effects on markers of atherosclerosis risk inclu...

Association between ideal cardiovascular health metrics and risk of cardiovascular events or mortality: A meta ‐analysis of prospective studies
ConclusionsIdeal CVH status, or even 1 point increase in CVH metrics, can result in substantial reductions in the risk of CVD, stroke, and mortality. Improving metrics of smoking, diet, physical activity, plasma glucose levels, and blood pressure will achieve the highest benefits.

Attenuation of Myeloid Specific TGF β Signaling Induces Inflammatory Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke.
Conclusions: Our studies show that TGFβ signaling in myeloid cells is required for maintenance of vascular health, and provide insight into inflammation-mediated cerebrovascular disease and stroke. PMID: 29051340 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Diagnostic Approach to Stroke in Young Adults
Opinion statementOptimal diagnosis and management of stroke in young adults benefit from a multidisciplinary team, including a vascular neurology specialist. In addition to the “standard” vascular risk factors including smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, one needs to consider alternative etiologies including substance abuse, carotid/vertebral artery dissections, and rare genetic conditions among others. Once a young patient is determined to have had a stroke, the next question a clinician should ask iswhy did this patient have a stroke? A “heart to head” diagnostic approach is recommended. A thoro...

Diet, microparticles and atherothrombosis.
Abstract Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death worldwide, and is principally caused by atherosclerosis, with subsequent thrombus formation, eventually provoking an acute myocardial infarction or a stroke. The formation and progression of the atherosclerotic plaques responds to multiple factors including certain diets. Intensive research has elucidated the role of diet in cardiovascular disease and has led to public health policies focusing on educating the population on the role of nutrition in cardiovascular health. Compelling evidence shows that a healthy diet, rich in fruit and vegetables with moder...

Abstract 104: Cerebrovascular and Cognitive Dysfunction in DOCA-Salt Hypertension is Mediated by Perivascular Macrophages Session Title: Salt and Hypertension
Hypertension (HTN) and high-salt diets are important risk factors for stroke and dementia. DOCA-salt is a recognized model of HTN driven by sodium retention and brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation. However, it is unknown whether essential mechanisms regulating the cerebral circulation are altered in DOCA-salt mice, and, if so, whether these alterations are associated with cognitive impairment. To this end, C57BL/6 mice were implanted with 50mg DOCA pellets SQ and received 0.9% NaCl drinking water for 3 weeks. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured in the somatosensory cortex by laser-Doppler flowmetry through a...
