BackgroundObesity is a global epidemic and a major riskfactor for cardiovascular diseases. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective bariatric surgery, but its effect on cardiac functions remains unclear.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP319-AWP319, February 1, 2025. This can be mitigated through targeting modifiable riskfactors. Identification of those at-risk through screening tools could be facilitated by inclusion of self-reported riskfactors rather than reliance on clinical data.
Eighty percent of heart attacks and strokes are preventable. partially because its key riskfactor, high blood pressure, is a ‘silent killer,’ and most patients have no symptoms before their first heart attack or stroke. Among participants with baseline body mass index (BMI) above 30 kg/m2, 70.4%
Owing to improved management, the life expectancy of patients with hemophilia has increased significantly and predisposes them to risk of cardiovascular diseases and thrombotic events. The primary outcome was to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular riskfactors in patients with hemophilia compared to the general population.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A133-A133, February 1, 2024. Mendelian randomization (MR) studies suggest a causal effect of Fe status on ischemic stroke (IS). 0.96]), or BMI (TSAT: 1.18 [1.04-1.34]; Higher Fe status is associated with a greater risk of CES independent of CVD riskfactors.
When broken down by disease category, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, stroke, osteoarthritis, hypertension and stroke, the pattern is the same. The first thing to realise is that while healthy centenarians rely on genetics, we must rely on riskfactor control. Aggressively control the riskfactors.
These data offer an updated analysis of health estimates pertaining to the worldwide, regional, and national impact of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and associated riskfactors. Implications: a renewed focus on prevention, treatment, and control strategies is imperative to address the escalating burden of cardiometabolic risks.
The prevalence of obesity has been rising faster than most other known modifiable riskfactors. 1 Obesity can adversely affect several health conditions but about two-thirds of deaths attributable to excess body mass index (BMI) are cardiovascular.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP270-ATP270, February 1, 2024. Objective:A proportion of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients suffer from early neurological deterioration (END) within 24 hours following intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), which greatly increases the risk of poor prognosis of these patients.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP262-ATP262, February 1, 2024. Background:Obesity has been associated with an increase in the risk of stroke and poor outcomes. Meanwhile, Metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) trends are understudied in association with stroke. Other factors likely influence this relationship.
Aim:This study investigates the prevalence of isolated interventricular membranous septal (IVMS) aneurysms detected via echocardiography and assesses the associated strokerisk without other classical risk factors.Methods:We searched the echocardiography database at Mount Sinai Morningside from January 2017 to September 2023.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP269-AWP269, February 1, 2025. Introduction:All-cause dementia remains a significant public health concern, with stroke recognized as a key riskfactor. This study included patients aged 20+ who experienced their first stroke (any type) in 2018 (baseline). aged 20-44, 37.2%
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP26-ATMP26, February 1, 2024. Background:Exercise post-stroke can improve health-related quality of life and promote physical fitness, walking, and balance. This study demonstrates the potentially important role of the physical and built environment on physical fitness post-stroke.
The study, “Comprehensive Cardiovascular RiskFactor Control with a Mobile Health Cardiovascular Risk Self-Management Program,” highlights the potential use of digital health technology in the comprehensive control of riskfactors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death and disability in the United States.
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%). Participants with LVI were significantly older, male, Black, had higher BMI, and lower HDL.
Body mass index (BMI) ‘(weight (kg)/height (m) 2 ) was calculated and patients with BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 were categorised as obese. The mean BMI was 27.48±4.93 Methods In this observational study, we included patients presenting with STE-ACS undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP203-AWP203, February 1, 2025. Demographic data, riskfactors and the history of ischemic stroke of all patients were recorded. Introduction:The middle cerebral artery (MCA) is the most common site for inrtacranial atherosclerotic stenosis. 21.35), p<0.001).Conclusions:Both
Salvatore Carbone, PhD: First, I’d like to point out that obesity is a major riskfactor for cardiometabolic disease. There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or riskfactors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. [1]
Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. 1][2] However, these trials involved stroke specific GA protocols in which immediate, post‐operative extubation was emphasized. We analyzed the stroke outcomes and complications between patients who had received GA and those who had received CS.
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. Logistic regression models were applied to 13 riskfactors.
Yes, many external factors impact these factors, but ultimately, you have significant control over all of these. Let’s look at what happens to NCD risk when these riskfactors are optimised. “Maybe not your fault, but definitely your problem.” ” And addressing that problem pays huge returns.
The reduced events included: 44% reduction in major heart events (Heart attacks, strokes, cardiovascular death etc.) In addition to elevated fasting glucose, there are many other riskfactors for developing diabetes, including: Metabolic syndrome BMI > 30 (Obese category) Elevated HBA1c - Not in the diabetes category but above normal.
Getty Images milla1cf Tue, 03/05/2024 - 13:15 March 5, 2024 — Frequent cannabis smoking may significantly increase a person’s risk for heart attack and stroke, according to an observational study supported by the National Institutes of Health. Less frequent use was also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP101-AWMP101, February 1, 2024. Conclusion:The global burden of stroke attributable to high BMI in OECD countries highlights the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to address the intertwined challenges of obesity and stroke.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP314-AWP314, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Of all strokes, 25% are attributable to recurrent events, of which 80% can be prevented by adherence to secondary prevention guidelines. In stroke survivors, adherence to blood pressure (+1.4% 0.64]), smoking (HR 0.55 [95% CI 0.44-0.69])
Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has approved an additional indication for Wegovy ( semaglutide ) to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as death, heart attack, or stroke in adults with known heart disease and with either obesity or overweight along with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP378-ATP378, February 1, 2025. Introduction:The molecular and metabolic changes that occur after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are not fully understood. There was a significant correlation with increase age of stroke patients and higher levels of MDA (p<0.05).
