Proteinopathies and the Neurodegenerative Aftermath of Stroke: Potential Biomarkers and Treatment Targets

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. Stroke remains a predominant cause of death and long-term disability among adults worldwide. We focus on their potential as biomarkers for recovery management and as novel treatment targets that may enhance neuronal repair and mitigate secondary neurodegeneration.

Rising Cardiac Troponin: A Prognostic Biomarker for Mortality After Acute Ischemic Stroke

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundElevated cardiac troponin (cTn) is detected in 10% to 30% of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and correlates with poor functional outcomes. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print.

New 'Atherosclerosis Atlas' Sheds Light on Heart Attacks, Strokes

DAIC

MILLER, PHD, LED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW "ATHEROSCLEROSIS ATLAS" THAT DETAILS, AT THE LEVEL OF INDIVIDUAL CELLS, CRITICAL PROCESSES RESPONSIBLE FOR FORMING THE HARMFUL PLAQUE BUILDUP THAT CAUSES HEART ATTACKS, STROKES AND CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE. When they break loose, they can be deadly, triggering strokes and heart attacks.

Abstract 33: A Novel Imaging Biomarker to Make Precise Outcome Predictions for Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A33-A33, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Net water uptake (NWU) is a novel biomarker which measures edema and tissue injury from the degree of hypoattenuation on non-contrast CT and may serve as a precision tool for predicting outcomes after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Abstract 64: Biomarkers of Atrial Cardiopathy and Outcomes After Cryptogenic Stroke: The ARCADIA Trial

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A64-A64, February 1, 2024. Background:Atrial cardiopathy is associated with incident ischemic stroke in the absence of clinical atrial fibrillation in prospective cohorts. Recurrent stroke occurred in 80 patients (annualized rate, 4.4%) and death in 54 patients. female, 21.1% Black, and 8.1%
