Risk Assessment Score and Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection Algorithm for Hypertension Among Africans: Models From the SIREN Study

Hypertension Journal

Hypertension, Volume 80, Issue 12 , Page 2581-2590, December 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:This study aimed to develop a risk-scoring model for hypertension among Africans.METHODS:In this study, 4413 stroke-free controls were used to develop the risk-scoring model for hypertension. for the training set and 64.6% (95% CI, 61.0–68.0)

Abstract 4123899: Stroke Risk in Patients with an Isolated Interventricular Membranous Septal Aneurysm

Circulation

Aim:This study investigates the prevalence of isolated interventricular membranous septal (IVMS) aneurysms detected via echocardiography and assesses the associated stroke risk without other classical risk factors.Methods:We searched the echocardiography database at Mount Sinai Morningside from January 2017 to September 2023.

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

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP294-AWP294, February 1, 2025. 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.

Association between weight-adjusted waist circumference index and myocardial infarction: results from the national health and nutrition examination survey, 1999–2014

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

cm/√kg was identified for predicting myocardial infarction, outperforming waist circumference and body mass index (BMI). Interaction analyses demonstrated significant interactions between myocardial infarction incidence and WWI with age, hypertension, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and stroke (P for interaction 0.05).ConclusionsThe
