Prevalence of Systemic Hypertension and the Effects of Cerebral Revascularization in Patients With Moyamoya Disease

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Susceptibility MMD genes, including ring finger protein 213/mysterin andGUCY1A3, have also been linked to extracranial vascular disease and increased systolic blood pressure. Blood pressure measurements and antihypertensive agent use were recorded pre‐ and postoperatively. After a mean follow‐up of 34.3±18.1

Abstract WP218: Risk Factors for Cerebral Aneurysms in Sickle Cell Disease

Stroke Journal

Specific risk factors explaining this difference have not been previously explored. Inclusion: ages 6-45 years, study MRI and MRA of the brain, risk factor data collected. Systolic blood pressure and Hb levels were not different in SCD participants with and without aneurysms, p=0.074 and p=0.358, respectively.
