Coronary Risk Evaluation in Patients With Transient Ischemic Attack and Ischemic Stroke
Stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) share common risk factors and pathological mechanisms, and coronary artery disease (CHD) is an important cause of death in patients with cerebrovascular disease. This Scientific Statement addresses issues in management of the relatively healthy patient with brain ischemia (a transient ischemic attack [TIA] or an ischemic stroke) who does not have recognized...
متن کاملPredicting Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is usually considered a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who have had a stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA). Although recurrent strokes occur more commonly than cardiac events over the long term after stroke, cardiac events still account for a greater proportion of mortality. Identifying severe occult coronary artery stenosis, in part...
متن کاملRisk factors for cervical atherosclerosis in patients with transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our purpose was to study potential determinants of the presence and the severity of cervical atherosclerosis in patients with transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke. METHODS Two hundred ninety-four patients up to 60 years of age were included in this cross-sectional study. The male to female ratio was 171/123. Atherosclerosis was defined as the presence of a...

متن کاملFibrinogen concentration and risk of ischemic stroke and acute coronary events in 5113 patients with transient ischemic attack and minor ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fibrinogen is an independent risk factor for coronary events in population-based studies and in patients with coronary heart disease, but there is uncertainty about prediction of stroke, particularly in secondary prevention. METHODS We studied unpublished data from 3 prospective studies of patients with recent transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor ischemic stroke: th...
