Understanding the Relationship Between Cerebrovascular Disease and the Gut Microbiome

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. While traditional vascular risk factors (eg, hypertension, dyslipidemia, tobacco use) account for 20% of the explained variance in carotid atherosclerosis, they remain a prominent focus for primary and secondary ischemic stroke prevention strategies.

Abstract WP394: Homocysteine induces neurovascular injury and increases BBB permeability

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP394-AWP394, February 1, 2025. Background:Our recently reported that patent foramen ovale (PFO) shunt enables the elevation of total homocysteine (tHcy) in patients circulation (Deng, Neurology 2021). However, the underlying molecular mechanism of how tHcy causes PFO-related injury is unclear.
