Relationship Between RNF213 p.R4810K and Echocardiographic Findings in Patients with Cerebrovascular Diseases: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundRING finger protein 213 (RNF213) p.R4810K is an established risk factor for moyamoya disease and intracranial artery stenosis in East Asian people. Recent evidence suggests its potential association with extracranial cardiovascular diseases, including pulmonary hypertension. All patients had cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract 126: Bilateral Limb Shaking TIA secondary to Severe Bilateral Carotid Stenosis

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Duplex US revealed 80‐99% stenosis of both right and left proximal internal carotid arteries. The constellation of findings was most suggestive of bilateral limb‐shaking TIA secondary to bilateral carotid stenosis. He was started on secondary stroke prevention and referred to vascular surgery for evaluation of revascularization.
