Statin Pretreatment and Microembolic Signals in Large Artery Atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVE Although statin pretreatment (SP) is associated with better outcomes in patients with acute cerebral ischemia after an ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack, data on the underlying mechanism of this beneficial effect are limited. APPROACH AND RESULTS We sought to evaluate the potential association between SP and microembolic signal (MES) burden in acute cerebral ischemia because...
متن کاملSAMHD1 Gene Mutations Are Associated with Cerebral Large-Artery Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND To investigate whether one or more SAMHD1 gene mutations are associated with cerebrovascular disease in the general population using a Chinese stroke cohort. METHODS Patients with a Chinese Han background (N = 300) diagnosed with either cerebral large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA, n = 100), cerebral small vessel disease (SVD, n = 100), or other stroke-free neurological disorders (co...
متن کاملPotential and failure of the ABCD2 score in stroke risk prediction after transient ischemic attack.
See related articles, pages 844–850 and 851–856. Patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are a heterogeneous group in terms of risk factors, symptomatology, underlying disorders, and prognosis.1 The importance of recognizing this common condition lies in the high risk of early stroke that TIAs carry (3.1% at 2 days, 5.2% at 7 days, 8.0% at 30 days, and 9.2% at 90 days).2,3 Recent eviden...
متن کاملValidation and refinement of the ABCD2 score: a population-based analysis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transient ischemic attacks are a frequent diagnosis in the emergency department setting, yet expert opinion as to the proper follow-up and need for hospitalization differs widely. Recently, an effort has been made to risk-stratify patients presenting with transient ischemic attacks through scoring systems such as the ABCD and ABCD2 scales. The aim of our study was to inde...
متن کاملJournal Club: early stroke risk and ABCD2 score performance in tissue vs time-defined TIA.
Jennifer E. Fugate, DO Alejandro A. Rabinstein, MD In this journal club article, we evaluate a study by Giles and colleagues1 that reports stroke risk in patients with classically defined TIA subcategorized by presence or absence of radiologic brain infarction. The concept of a TIA is evolving in parallel with better understanding of brain ischemia and insights gained from neuroimaging studies....
