Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ADP9-ADP9, February 1, 2025. Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disabilities and is largely preventable (80%). Evidence indicates that patients receiving care from stroke specialized nurses, including nurse-led stroke prevention, show better outcomes.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP15-ATMP15, February 1, 2025. Background:After discharge can be a vulnerable time for stroke patients and their caregivers. Nurse navigators have been utilized in other specialties resulting in positive impacts on patient care. Additional high risk patients can be added at discretion.
Stroke, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Stroke triggers are factors that may precipitate a stroke within a given time interval and can predict the timing of a stroke. At a 30-day case-control interval, the risk was lowest but still significant (odds ratio, 2.345 [95% CI, 2.179–2.523];P<0.0001).CONCLUSIONS:We
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ANS9-ANS9, February 1, 2024. Background and Purpose:As a Joint Commission Comprehensive Stroke Center, the provision of community education is a priority goal of our program. We will identify educational venues and stakeholders among African American and Hispanic populations in these zip codes.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP49-AWP49, February 1, 2024. The Neuroscience Nurse Navigator Program [NNN-P], implemented December 2019, included SP who received Alteplase [IV-A] or Mechanical Thrombectomy [MT]. SP satisfaction [SP-S] assessed via paper tool changed to Press Ganey in 2021.Purpose:Evaluate
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP68-ATP68, February 1, 2025. Background:A mandatory educational requirement for nurses and staff at designated stroke centers existed within a health system, but the process varied across sites.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP136-ATP136, February 1, 2025. Once these post-stroke patients have been identified, they are given a personalized monitoring plan depending on the individuals riskfactors, the personalized care and rehabilitation plans are tracked and followed.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP70-ATP70, February 1, 2025. Introduction:A significant proportion of stroke patients are lost to follow up (LTFU) after discharge, which may be associated with increased risk of morbidity, mortality, and unnecessary hospitalization. vs. 47.4%); have an intracerebral (12.1% vs. 40.7%).
A new joint guideline from the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and nine other medical societies reports early diagnosis and treatment of peripheral artery disease is essential to improve outcomes and reduce amputation risk, heart attack, stroke and death for people with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP61-AWP61, February 1, 2024. Background:The CSC Advanced Disease-Specific Certification program requires hospitals to provide stroke education to patients and family members. A QR code was placed in the patient’s stroke education folder and displayed prominently in visible areas.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP62-ATP62, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Education for post-acute stroke patients is crucial for several reasons: recovery and rehabilitation, prevention of recurrence, empowerment, caregiver support, and health literacy. Caregivers can access this education via mobile devices.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP53-ATP53, February 1, 2025. Background:Post-discharge phone calls to stroke patients are a valuable tool to assess medication compliance, stroke education retention and prevention of emergency room visits. Two call attempts were made. There were no differences in baseline demographics.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP271-ATP271, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Despite significant efforts to increase public awareness of cerebrovascular disease, the incidence of stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) in young adults has remained elevated, representing a major public health concern.
Primordial prevention is changing the environment around you so you do not develop the riskfactors for heart disease and, by extension, do not get the disease early in life. This refers to all the steps necessary to reduce the odds of a subsequent event, such as a second heart attack or stroke. Cardiac Rehabilitation.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A33-A33, February 1, 2024. For patients with ischemic stroke (IS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA) PE holds significant value. Confidence in preventing another stroke/TIA rose from 27.3% (n=11) to 66.7% (n=6).
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the third leading cause of atherosclerotic morbidity after coronary heart disease and stroke yet is widely underdiagnosed and undertreated. Treatment of riskfactors such as diabetes and cigarette smoking can benefit patients with PAD.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP19-ATMP19, February 1, 2025. Background:Patients who arrive at the emergency department (ED) with transient ischemic attacks (TIA) are at an increased risk of experiencing a stroke.
Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. 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.
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]
At 0800 the cardiology fellow is called to the bedside by the nurse as the patient again complains about 4/10 chest pain. The full thickness infarction with LV aneurysm morphology places him at a higher risk for short and long term complications (e.g., Thats really all pericarditis is good for. ng/mL (mildly elevated).
The scientific statement, Sex Differences in Peripheral Vascular Disease, summarizes current knowledge of the differences between men and women with PVD; highlights disparities in riskfactors, screening, treatment and outcomes; and outlines key research priorities to mitigate these disparities and promote health equity.
Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. Study Population includes all patients with an ischemic stroke inpatient admission in 2018 and were continuously enrolled with Medicare FFS for 1 year prior to and following their initial 2018 stroke admission. female and 83.1%
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP39-AWP39, February 1, 2024. Beyond traditional strokeriskfactors, female sex hormones and pregnancy exposures are riskfactors for women. The knowledge gained from this scoping review helps identify and treat women Veteran's specific strokeriskfactors.
3,4 Importantly, women have numerous sex-specific riskfactors in addition to non-sex-specific ones. After menopause, when protective estrogen levels drop, women's cardiovascular risk rises dramatically.5 This is one way that multidisciplinary care comes into play. These specialized programs are showing promising results.
Many of these also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. If menopause is characterised by a sudden drop in oestrogen levels, the question is whether replacing female-specific hormones would reduce cardiovascular risk. These events were mostly strokes 8. Not exactly what we would have expected. 1997 Dec;43(12):2364-78.
