Introduction:Prospective studies and secondary analyses from clinical trials have identified increased systolic bloodpressure variability (SBPV) as a riskfactor for poor outcomes.
The new analysis of the trial results, led by UVA Health’s Andrew Southerland , MD, found that high blood sugar shortly after thrombolysis – opening blocked arteries in the brain with a clot-busting drug – was associated with greater risk for potentially deadly brain bleeds, particularly in older patients with more severe strokes.
Non-parametric t-test and chi-square analysis was used for statistical analysis to identify significant differences between stroke type and stroke risk factors.Results:Among the 236 subjects, the median age was similar between groups (p-value 0.3940) [40 (IQR 35-43) Ghana, n= 91; 43 (IQR 34-43) in AA, n= 43, and 39 (IQR 31-43) WAA, n= 102).
BackgroundA strong riskfactor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is elevated arterial bloodpressure, which is known to vary by season, with highest values in winter months. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. Clinical severity and case fatality did not vary between seasons (mean, 24.30.8%).ConclusionsThis
Introduction:Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is the most severe adverse effect of anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and chronic kidney disease are well-known cardiovascular riskfactors for ICH. After a median follow-up of 2.9 95%CI:1.002.20], Figure 1).
BACKGROUND:Smoking is a well-established riskfactor for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and current smokers have an increased risk of SAH. Stroke, Volume 54, Issue 12 , Page 3012-3020, December 1, 2023.
Background:Long term follow-up data on elevated bloodpressure (BP) or antihypertensive drugs in young adults are scarce. The primary outcome was a composite of the incidence of myocardial infarction and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, obtained by tracking the medical use data of the first-ever ICD-10 codes.
Stroke is often due to sudden loss of blood supply to a region of the brain which usually results in paralysis of a part of the body. In general, riskfactors for stroke and some forms of heart disease are similar. Strokes due to blocks in blood vessels, can be seen along with blocks in blood vessels of the heart.
The main riskfactor is hypertension, and bloodpressure (BP) control is crucial in the primary and secondary prevention of stroke. Individuals self-reported previous medical history of stroke (including TIA, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke), hypertension, medication intake, and other vascular riskfactors.
We hypothesize that in individuals who are pregnant or within 1 year postpartum (PP), the triad of early PP state (first 6 weeks after delivery), elevated bloodpressure (BP), and headache is associated with higher stroke risk.Methods:We conducted a single-institution case-control study.
The study includes data from 204 countries and territories, highlighting the leading global modifiable cardiovascular riskfactors, their contribution to disease burden and recent prevention advancements. High bloodpressure, high cholesterol, dietary risks and air pollution remain its leading causes.
Logistic regression models were adjusted for age, sex, hematoma volume, and other known riskfactors for poor prognosis. Receiver operating characteristic analyses were used to compare the predictive performance of baseline NIHSS and Glasgow Coma Scale scores, ICH score, and max-ICH score. years; male, 62.9%; ICH volume, 10.96 [5.77–19.49]
Background:Stroke patients are at risk for secondary vascular events, but riskfactor control is often insufficient. Vascular riskfactors like hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are highly heritable, and persons with higher polygenic predisposition are less likely to achieve riskfactor control.
Data collection included demographics, riskfactors, bloodpressures (BPs), and other variables such as the National Institute of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS), presence and types of large vessel occlusion, and severity of the hemorrhage (symptomatic or asymptomatic).Results:The SD = 13.46).
Introduction:While the attention on racial, ethnic, and gender differences in ischemic stroke has progressed beyond reporting to evaluating corrective activities, less is known about disparities in hemorrhagic stroke evaluation and care, especially amongst young population. More women had access to primary care compared to men (51.2%
Background&Aims:A certain lipoprotein, especially lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), has been said to be a risk of developing intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP72-ATMP72, February 1, 2025.
Also consider non-hemorrhagic volume depletion, dehydration : orthostatic vitals may uncover this [see Mendu et al. (3)]. Until then, I consider any of these to be independent adverse riskfactors. -- Finally, a dedicated syncope unit may improve evaluation and outcome (17). h/o heart disease (+1) 3.
