Abstract WP294: Racial Disparities among the risk of Stroke and other clinical outcomes post Infective Endocarditis: A Propensity Matched Analysis

Stroke Journal

Propensity score-matched analysis (PSM) (1:1) was performed on age, gender, BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, hemoglobin level, LDL level, left ventricular ejection fraction and various drugs including beta blockers, ACEi and ARBi. The mean age of patients was comparable between both groups (59.8

Association between asthma and cardiovascular disease: evidence from the national health and nutrition examination survey 1999–2018

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

CVD included stroke, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, and angina. Compared with participants without asthma, the prevalence of stroke in those with asthma was increased by 1.607 times; the prevalence of congestive heart failure was increased by 1.911 times.
