The Role of Apolipoprotein E on the Age of Ischemic Stroke Onset and Stroke Outcome
Researchers found the APO ε4 allele is associated with younger age at ischemic stroke onset but not with stroke outcomes.

AHA/ASA Release Updated Guideline on Early Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke
The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association have released an update to their 2018 guidelines for the early management of acute ischemic stroke.
AF Independently Predicts Risk for In-Hospital Death in Ischemic Stroke
Researchers sought to determine whether atrial fibrillation increases risk for adverse events in hospitalized patients with ischemic stroke .
Relative Cerebral Blood Flow Can Assist in Triage of Stroke Patients to Reperfusion Therapies
Study confirms a high correlation and good agreement between infarct volumes measured using acute diffusion-weighted imaging and relative cerebral blood flow derived from temporally and volumetrically matched perfusion data.
Cerebral Embolism With Ischemic Penumbra and Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption
In patients with ischemic penumbra and blood-brain barrier disruption, hyperoxygenation therapy may mitigate ischemia and remove air.
Effect of White Matter Hyperintensity on Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Stroke Recurrence
Increasing white matter hyperintensity volume load may be associated with recurrent stroke after ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, and with 1-year mortality after ischemic stroke.
Benefit of Endovascular Thrombectomy in Patients With Large Ischemic Cores
Secondary analysis of the SELECT trial finds endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) may have therapeutic benefits for patients with large infarcts, especially if they are treated early and have a large core volume.
Strong SSRI May Be Linked to Decrease in Ischemic Stroke Risk
Antidepressants strongly inhibiting serotonin reuptake may be associated with a small reduction in the rate of ischemic stroke compared with weak reuptake inhibitors.
Endovascular Therapy in Delayed Time Window Improves Quality of Life After Stroke
Endovascular thrombectomy in the 6- to 16-hour time window after onset of ischemic stroke was found to be associated with reduced hospital stay, more home-time, and more desirable living situations in the 90 days after stroke.
Hyperglycemia May Worsen Outcomes of Intravenous Thrombolysis in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke
Hyperglycemia on admission is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with and without diabetes following intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke.
