Diabetes May Be a Risk Factor for Stroke in Women With Gout
Assessment and management of comorbidities of gout can reduce future stroke risk in female patients.
Carotid Stenosis Common in Patients Presenting With Stroke, TIA
Careful multidisciplinary team discussion may avoid unnecessary intervention in patients with carotid stenosis presenting with stroke or transient ischemic attack.
Stroke Risk Reduced With Rivaroxaban in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
Rivaroxaban was associated with a reduced recurrent stroke risk in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source.
Myoelectric Computer Interface Beneficial for Stroke Survivors
A myoelectric computer interface training paradigm that provides intuitive feedback about muscle activation patterns is well tolerated and can reduce abnormal coactivation among stroke survivors.
Very Low LDL-C, Triglycerides Linked to Hemorrhagic Stroke Risk in Women
Women with very low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) or low triglycerides have an increased risk for hemorrhagic stroke.
Epidemiological Evidence Does Not Support Protective Effects of Alcohol for Stroke
Findings from this genetic epidemiological study do not support the protective effects of moderate alcohol consumption on stroke when compared with no alcohol consumption.
Guidelines Address PFO Closure for Secondary Stroke Prevention
Recommendations are presented for patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure for the secondary prevention of recurrent stroke.
Low Circulating Retinoic Acid Levels Linked to Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Low circulating serum levels of retinoic acid may be predictive of 6-month all cause and cardiovascular disease mortality risk in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Icosapent Ethyl Reduces Ischemic Event Burden in Statin-Treated Hypertriglyceridemia
Investigators conducted a prespecified analyses to evaluate the extent to which icosapent ethyl decreases total ischemic events.
