Impaired glucose tolerance increases stroke risk in nondiabetic patients with transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Impaired glucose tolerance, an intermediate metabolic state between normal glucose and diabetes characterized by nonfasting glucose levels between 7.8 to 11.0 mmol/L, is associated with an increased stroke risk in patients with coronary heart disease. Whether impaired glucose tolerance increases the risk of stroke in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor ...
متن کاملRisk of Stroke after Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke.
BACKGROUND Previous studies conducted between 1997 and 2003 estimated that the risk of stroke or an acute coronary syndrome was 12 to 20% during the first 3 months after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke. The TIAregistry.org project was designed to describe the contemporary profile, etiologic factors, and outcomes in patients with a TIA or minor ischemic stroke who receive care ...
متن کاملOriginal Contributions Silent Stroke in Patients With Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Ischemic Stroke
Background and Purpose: We studied silent stroke (i.e., infarcts on computed tomographic scan not related to later symptoms) in patients after transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke. Methods: Ours is a cross-sectional study of 2,329 patients who were randomized in a secondary prevention trial after transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke and had no residual deficit after ...
متن کاملOccurrence and predictors of persistent impaired glucose tolerance after acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND Impaired glucose tolerance is often present in patients with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or ischemic stroke and doubles the risk of recurrent stroke. This impaired glucose tolerance can be transient, reflecting an acute stress response, or persistent, representing undiagnosed impaired glucose metabolism possibly requiring treatment. We aimed to assess the occurrence of persiste...
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...
