Introduction:Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is the most severe adverse effect of anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and chronic kidney disease are well-known cardiovascular riskfactors for ICH. After a median follow-up of 2.9 95%CI:1.002.20], Figure 1).
Introduction:Cerebrovascular white matter disease (WMD) severity is linked to vascular riskfactors like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. In stroke, it has been associated with infarct growth, hemorrhagic transformation, and poor outcomes. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP170-ATP170, February 1, 2025.
IntroductionNontraumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is the second most prevalent type of stroke worldwide and is strongly linked with severe disability and mortality. Survivors of ICH have a high risk of all‐cause readmission. Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023.
Background:Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the riskfactors for acute ischemic stroke, usually leading to poor prognosis. The outcomes of stroke in diabetic patients receiving metformin is largely unexplored. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP5-AWP5, February 1, 2024.
IntroductionSubarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in stroke patients, associated with severe neurological, infectious, and thromboembolic complications. Readmitted patients both within 30 and 90 days were more likely to have a higher prevalence of vascular riskfactors and related comorbidities.
IntroductionThere is a higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus type 2 in Hispanics as compared to other ethnic groups in the United States. Diabetes is a riskfactor for acute ischemic stroke and also a poor predictor of outcome for many interventional surgeries. or greater. vs. 20.5%; p = 0.048) and stenting (28.4%
Introduction:Effective care transition for ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke patients post-hospital discharge is critical. Ensuring a follow-up neurology appointment within two weeks is vital to managing stroke riskfactors like hypertension, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation.
Peripheral blood gene expression profiles can distinguish ischemic stroke from intracerebral hemorrhage and controls. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP313-AWP313, February 1, 2024. However, it can be difficult to clinically distinguish “mimics” of transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and minor strokes from true TIAs and minor strokes.
Exclusion criteria were pregnancy, lactation, intracerebral hemorrhage, atrial fibrillation, left ventricular clot, and cardioembolic stroke. Significant associations were found between recurrent ischemic events and hypertension (p=0.001), diabetes (p=0.033), and smoking (p=0.001). Data were collected from medical records.
Strokes were ischemic in 72.0% (N=67), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in 25.8% (N=24), and subarachnoid hemorrhage in 2.2% (N=2). The following factors were associated with a higher odd of having a stroke: radiation necrosis (OR 4.51; 95% CI 1.98-10.29, 8.78, P<0.0001); and diabetes (OR 2.19; 95% CI 1.25-3.84,
Background:Dental caries is a chronic oral infection distinct from periodontal disease in that it is associated with both ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). These associations remained after adjusting for age, gender, race, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking: Q1 (reference), Q2 Adj. to 2.16), Q3 OR 1.78 (1.16
Background:The ABCD-GENE score, incorporating age, body mass index, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and CYP2C19 genotypes, is a validated risk score that integrates clinical riskfactors with genetic information to predict clopidogrel response. Clopidogrel therapy was continued throughout the study period. being male.
Introduction:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a riskfactor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and for worse outcomes following ICH. For each patient, eGFR along with age, sex, race, ethnicity, hypertension, diabetes (DM), heart disease, and hyperlipidemia were abstracted.
Data collection included demographics, riskfactors, blood pressures (BPs), and other variables such as the National Institute of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS), presence and types of large vessel occlusion, and severity of the hemorrhage (symptomatic or asymptomatic).Results:The Results:The mean age of the 195 cases was 75.4 (SD
Introduction:While intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is uncommon in young adults (18-55), its incidence is on the rise. While the reasons for this increase are multifactorial, there is likely a contribution from the known rise in traditional vascular riskfactors (VRFs) among the general young adult population.
Introduction:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a riskfactor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and for worse outcomes following ICH. For each patient, eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) along with age, sex, race, ethnicity, hypertension (HTN), diabetes (DM), heart disease, and hyperlipidemia were abstracted.
Background:There is an emerging understanding of stroke risk in patients with immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) and immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (iTTP). Riskfactors for stroke remain unclear, and future studies should continue to investigate this relationship. and 45%) and chronic phase (91.8%
The new analysis of the trial results, led by UVA Health’s Andrew Southerland , MD, found that high blood sugar shortly after thrombolysis – opening blocked arteries in the brain with a clot-busting drug – was associated with greater risk for potentially deadly brain bleeds, particularly in older patients with more severe strokes.
However, there is a lack of understanding whether specific migraine features like white matter hyperintensities (WMH) commonly found on brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in migraine patients and migraine medications might contribute to Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE) outcomes including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.
Incident stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic) was ascertained until the end of 2021 with adjudication by an expert panel. Introduction:Eicosanoids (EIC) are lipid mediators that play a systemic role in inflammation and, more specifically, in the brain, contribute to the process of neurovascular coupling. SD), and 43.2% SD), and 43.2%
The Impact of Stroke on Global Health A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted, either by a clot (ischemic stroke) or a ruptured vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). With machine learning algorithms analyzing brain scans, healthcare providers can identify high-risk patients sooner, allowing for proactive measures.
There is a critical lack of data about early life stroke riskfactors among Black women, a group with higher rates of hypertension compared to other racial groups. Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke were ascertained by self-report at biennial health questionnaires.

Major riskfactors included hypertension (12.5%), diabetes (5.20%), and dyslipidemia (3.12%), with 11.45% having autoimmune disorders. Participants were recruited during the acute stroke phase and underwent evaluations for neuromuscular weakness and autoimmune disorders. years, predominantly male (63.86%). months post-stroke.
Many studies have aimed to determine if heart failure (HF) is an independent riskfactor in the development of AIS, but there is a paucity of literature describing the interventions and functional outcomes in this group of patients. 24.2%, p < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (39.7% 27.3%, p < 0.001), male (61.8%
The use of recreational cocaine in young adults is well known to be responsible for acute ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes in individuals who lack other vascular riskfactors.
Background:Stroke patients are at risk for secondary vascular events, but riskfactor control is often insufficient. Vascular riskfactors like hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are highly heritable, and persons with higher polygenic predisposition are less likely to achieve riskfactor control.
