Premature Cardiac Contractions and Risk of Incident Ischemic Stroke
BACKGROUND The etiologies of ischemic stroke remain undetermined in 15% to 40% of patients. Apart from atrial fibrillation, other arrhythmias are less well-characterized as risk factors. Premature cardiac contractions are known to confer long-term cardiovascular risks, like myocardial infarction. Ischemic stroke as cardiovascular risk outcome remains a topic of interest. We examined the prospec...
متن کاملPremature ventricular complexes and the risk of incident stroke: the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) on a 2-minute electrocardiogram are a common, largely asymptomatic finding associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and death. They may reflect atherosclerosis or other pathogenic pathways that predispose to arrhythmias and stroke. METHODS We conducted a prospective evaluation of the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communit...
متن کاملFasting Plasma Glucose and Risk of Incident Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attacks
Background and Purpose—Diabetes and impaired fasting glucose are diagnosed based on an elevated plasma glucose level after an overnight fast. The diagnostic cutpoint of diabetes arises from the threshold for development of microvascular complications. Our aim was to examine the associations between clinical relevant categories of fasting glucose levels and the risk of incident ischemic stroke. ...
متن کاملShort-term and long-term risk of incident ischemic stroke after transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relative risk of ischemic stroke associated with transient ischemic attack (TIA) is not well defined because most studies of stroke after TIA did not include comparison groups. We sought to estimate short-term and long-term relative risks of ischemic stroke associated with clinically diagnosed TIA. METHODS We used data from a population-based case-control study. Cas...
متن کاملPlasma Lipid Profile and Incident Ischemic Stroke
Background and Purpose—The role of circulating lipids and lipoproteins in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke remains uncertain despite 3 decades of research. We examined this issue in a large population-based cohort. Methods—Between 1987 and 1989, 14 175 middle-aged men and women, free of clinical cardiovascular disease, took part in the first examination of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communi...
