Association of Cannabis Use With Cardiovascular Outcomes Among US Adults

Journal of the American Heart Association

We assessed the association of cannabis use (number of days of cannabis use in the past 30 days) with self‐reported cardiovascular outcomes (coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, and a composite measure of all 3) in multivariable regression models, adjusting for tobacco use and other characteristics in adults 18 to 74 years old.

Effectiveness, utilisation and cost associated with implantable loop recorders versus external monitors after ischaemic or cryptogenic stroke

Open Heart

Objective Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) are increasingly used for long-term rhythm monitoring after ischaemic and cryptogenic stroke, with the goal of detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) and subsequent initiation of oral anticoagulation to reduce risk of adverse clinical outcomes. Mean age was 69.9 (SD years and 53.5% were female.

Abstract 120: Comparative trends in decompressive hemicraniectomy in the era of mechanical thrombectomy among stroke patients (2016-2021) in the US National inpatient Sample.

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A120-A120, February 1, 2025. Background:Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are critical interventions for acute ischemic stroke. Conclusions:Both DHC and MT use are increasing in stroke patients. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 6.96%.Conclusions:Both

Abstract 13: Prior Bariatric Surgery is Associated With Reduced Risk of Recurrent Stroke Among Elderly Obese Stroke Survivors: A National Inpatient Sample Study (2016-2019)

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A13-A13, February 1, 2024. Elderly obese stroke survivors (> 65 years) having a recurrent acute ischemic stroke (AIS), with or without prior bariatric surgery (PBS), were identified using ICD-10 codes. Both groups (PBS vs. no PBS) were predominantly female (59.7% vs. 90.7%).

Abstract WP158: Socioeconomic Influences on Stroke Outcomes: A Comprehensive Zip Code-Based Hospital Analysis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP158-AWP158, February 1, 2025. Objective:Socioeconomic disparities significantly affect the treatment and outcomes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including acute ischemic stroke. SES was not a significant predictor of good functional outcomes (mRS 0-2).Conclusion:This
