Leukocytosis and ischemic vascular disease morbidity and mortality: is it time to intervene?
The association between leukocytosis and increased morbidity and mortality of ischemic vascular disease has been observed for more than half a century, and recent studies in >350,000 patients confirm the robustness of the association and the dramatically higher relative and absolute acute and chronic mortality rates in patients with high versus low leukocyte counts. Although there is reason to ...

Nucleotide Metabolism To the Editor: We read with interest the paper by Barry S. Coller on leukocytosis and its relationship with vascular disease morbidity and mortality1 and the subsequent correspondence.2,3 We are intrigued to learn that relative leukocytopenia may be associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction1,4 and in those undergoing per...

متن کاملMorbidity and mortality associated with transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is defined as "an episode of focal loss of brain function attributed to ischemia that lasts less than 24 hours, is localized to a portion of the brain supplied by one vascular system, has no persistent deficit, and is not attributable to any other cause." Most TIAs are caused by small thromboemboli that originate in atheromatous areas in neck vessels or the heart...
متن کاملPredictors of early cardiac morbidity and mortality after ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In the first 3 months after acute ischemic stroke, 2% to 6% of patients die from cardiac causes. This may reflect preexisting cardiac disease, cardiac dysfunction related to the acute neurohumoral and autonomic stress response to stroke, or both. Delineation of a high-risk group could facilitate prevention strategies. We aimed to describe the temporal profile of cardiac r...
