Abstract WP35: Neutrophil Extracellular Traps As a Biomarker for Delayed Cerebral Ischemia after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Following SAH, neutrophils cause vascular occlusion via neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and NETs have been identified as a therapeutic target to prevent delayed cerebral ischemia in mice (DCI) with SAH. The findings of this study suggest NETs factors may be useful biomarkers to predict which aneurysmal SAH patients are at-risk for DCI.

Abstract WP370: Platelet morphology but not coagulation markers predicts delayed cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Approximately 30% of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients who survive the rupture develop delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) 4 to 10 days following aSAH. Thus, we sought to investigate various biomarkers of platelets to identify which factors are predictive of patients at-risk for DCI.

Lowering Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events by Treating Residual Inflammatory Risk

DAIC

1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3 mg reduced the risk of cardiovascular death, MI or heart attack, ischemic stroke, or ischemia-driven coronary revascularization by 31% compared with placebo.34

Chest pain followed by 6 days of increasing dyspnea -- what happened?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

When there are QS-waves, one should always think about LV aneurysm, but ST to QRS ratio and T-wave to QRS ratio are far too large and not compatible with left ventricular aneurysm. There were no other causes of dyspnea apparent and thus we can assume that myocardial ischemia started 6 days prior.
