Introduction:Prior studies have shown the association between oral infection, white matter hyperintensity (WMH), a marker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), and asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS). CSVD was assessed using the log of WMH volume.
Researchers have identified a new target to treat atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque clogs arteries and causes major cardiac issues, including stroke and heart attack.
Researchers have discovered that the smooth muscle cells that line the arteries of people with atherosclerosis can change into new cell types and develop traits similar to cancer that worsen the disease.
Higher circulating levels of 4PY were strongly associated with development of heart attack, stroke and other adverse cardiac events in large-scale clinical studies. The researchers also showed in preclinical studies that 4PY directly triggers vascular inflammation which damages blood vessels and can lead to atherosclerosis over time.
Introduction The presence of non-coronary atherosclerosis (NCA) in patients with coronary artery disease is associated with a poor prognosis. The primary outcome was a combination of TIA/stroke, acute myocardial infarction, new revascularization procedure, or death.
However, the association of FAR with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke is still unknown. Clinical outcomes included stroke recurrence, all‐cause death, poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 3–6), and dependence (modified Rankin Scale score 3–5). FAR was calculated as fibrinogen (g/L)/albumin (g/L).

BACKGROUND:Dental caries is a highly prevalent disease worldwide. 1.79]) and death (adjusted HR, 1.13 [95% CI, 1.01–1.26])
People with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of suffering a stroke, a heart attack and premature death due to atherosclerosis, but it has been unclear what the underlying mechanisms are.
Common examples of vascular disease are aneurysms (a dangerous bulge in an artery wall), atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the… Source Vascular disease affects the body’s vast network of blood vessels, veins and arteries.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP116-AWP116, February 1, 2024. Both lumen stenosis and plaque components were correlated with multiple or recurrent infarcts in this population.
METHODS:The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP292-AWP292, February 1, 2025. Background:Intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) is a common stroke cause, with a recurrent stroke risk of up to 18% per year despite treatment advances. The primary outcome was the incidence of stroke. The weighted mean age was 63.7
Blockage of arterial blood vessels caused by atherosclerosis is largely responsible for heart attacks and strokes, which are the most common causes of death worldwide. The complex mechanisms that lead to pathological changes in the arteries are not yet fully understood.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A41-A41, February 1, 2025. This is largely due to the Stenting and Aggressive Medical Management Therapy for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Arterial Stenosis (SAMMPRIS) trial results which featured a high periprocedural stroke rate.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP300-ATP300, February 1, 2024. Background:Most ischemic strokes are caused by atherosclerosis. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) regulates lipid metabolism, and its deficiency is associated with dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis. Poor dietary habits promote the onset of atherosclerosis.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP142-ATP142, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Perfusion imaging has been used to assess collateral status in patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to anterior large-vessel occlusion. A relative CBF<30% was also obtained.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP203-AWP203, February 1, 2025. Evidence has shown that carotid artery geometries are independently associated with ipsilateral MCA atherosclerosis. Demographic data, risk factors and the history of ischemic stroke of all patients were recorded. 21.35), p<0.001).Conclusions:Both
Using mediation Mendelian randomization, we explored proteomic mediators of the effects of genetically proxied IL-6 signaling on coronary artery disease, large artery atherosclerotic stroke, and peripheral artery disease.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A110-A110, February 1, 2025. Background:Recent studies have shown that the autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in regulating the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis in peripheral arteries.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A131-A131, February 1, 2024. The primary outcome was incident ischemic stroke. There were a total of 18 ischemic stroke events among those with LVI (6%) and 65 among those without LVI (3%). LV apical circumferential strain>-10% may be a novel and quantitative stroke risk factor.
3 Patients with ASCVD are at a higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and cardiovascular (CV) death.4 1,6 Until recently atherosclerosis has been thought of as the result of passive lipid accumulation in the vessel wall. 4 In the U.S.
The goal of the INSPIRES trial was to determine whether DAPT with clopidogrel and aspirin initiated within 72 hours of mild ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA was associated with decreased incidence of recurrent stroke compared with aspirin monotherapy.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP139-AWP139, February 1, 2024. We hypothesized that intracranial atherosclerosis, which is seen predominantly in older patients, affects vasospasm risk in aSAH. This may suggest intracranial atherosclerosis may affect TCD velocities without any clinical correlation.

Carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) is a critical precursor to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and is closely associated with the development and progression of conditions such as stroke and poor prognosis. 2021-KY-1289-001).Results:Among respectively.
BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) significantly increases the ischemic stroke risk. Cox regression models and competing risk survival analyses were used to assess incidence rates and hazard ratios (HRs) for ischemic stroke stratified by age groups. Among 47 239 participants (median followup: 21.1 The presence of AF yielded a 13.9
Background Carotid artery atherosclerosis is a major cause of ischemic stroke, and ischemic stroke is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Unfortunately, the reason for the build-up of atherosclerosis plaque is unknown. Moreover, there was an increased miRNA-29c level in patients with cerebral stroke.
The fundamental role of qualitative alterations of lipoproteins in the early development of atherosclerosis has been widely demonstrated. However, the corresponding studies are scarcer in the field of ischemic stroke, despite carotid arteriosclerosis progression underlies at least 20% of ischemic strokes.
