Tag: Heart / Stroke-Related: Stroke

Sharp increase seen in stroke mortality with increasing age; steeper decline seen for ischemic versus hemorrhagic stroke mortality

Addition of left atrial reservoir strain also yields predicted net benefit in people without prior a-fib or stroke

Locus of control appears to modify the effect size of work stress on stroke risk

Risk reduced for lobar and nonlobar intracerebral hemorrhage; greater reductions seen with prolonged use ≥5 years

Associations seen for temperature extremes and variability with stroke, migraines, hospitalization in dementia, MS exacerbations

Association mainly independent of preterm or SGA birth, may be partly explained by unmeasured familial factors

Patients with acute ischemic stroke and COVID-19 also had worse clinical outcomes, including increased mortality

Positive dose relationship observed, which was mainly driven by hemorrhagic stroke

Two randomized trials reveal favorable outcomes but procedural complications, more intracranial hemorrhages with endovascular therapy

Strongest association seen for first stroke and weaker associations seen for cardiovascular events, death after stroke
