INTRODUCTION: Although statin therapy reduces cardiovascular events, statin use is associated with the risk of new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM). Using a linked dataset, we evaluated the effect of statin treatment on vascular outcomes and NODM development in patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS: From the dataset, we identified 20,250 patients with acute ischemic stroke who had neither a prior history of DM nor a previous history of statin use before the index stroke...

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, non-contrast computed tomography (CT) alone was used in the initial assessment of acute ischaemic stroke patients mainly to exclude haemorrhage or alternative pathology. SUMMARY: Late-window (beyond 6 hours) and recent large-volume endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (MT) trials integrated CT Perfusion (CTP) imaging to guide MT and/or intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) decision-making in stroke patients. KEY MESSAGES: In current clinical practice, many patients are being excluded from reperfusion therapy due to a lack of data from urgent investigations to assess cerebral vasculature and perfusion...

INTRODUCTION: The benefits and risks of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) drugs in survivors of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are unclear. Observational studies suggest an association between statin use and increased risk of lobar ICH, particularly in patients with apolipoprotein-E (APOE) ε2 and ε4 genotypes. There are no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) addressing the effects of statins after ICH leading to uncertainty as to whether statins should be used in patients with lobar ICH who are at high risk for ICH recurrence...

Introduction The angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) and its shedding product [soluble ACE-2 (sACE-2)] are implicated in adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, the relationship between sACE-2 and stroke recurrence is unknown. Herein, we examined the relationship of sACE-2 with stroke recurrence in patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods Data were obtained from the Third China National Stroke Registry (CNSR-Ⅲ). Eligible cases consisted of 494 patients who developed recurrent stroke within 1-year follow-up, 494 controls were selected using age- and sex- matched with a 1:1 case-control ratio...

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with greater stroke-related disability and mortality. Hematoma expansion (HME), an important treatment target in acute ICH, is time-dependent, with a greater probability of hematoma growth occurring <3 hours from ICH onset. SUMMARY: Promising treatment options to reduce HME include early intensive blood pressure (BP) reduction and the administration of hemostatic or anticoagulant reversal agents, yet large phase III clinical trials have so far failed to show overwhelming benefit for these interventions in acute ICH...

INTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF) is a well-known risk factor for ischemic stroke. While female sex has been associated with higher stroke risk among AF patients, overall sex-specific real-world burdens of AF-related strokes and hemorrhages are unknown. METHODS: The 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample was queried for hospitalizations, morbidity, and mortality due to AF-related ischemic strokes and bleeds. Patient demographic information, vascular risk factors, comorbidities, and stroke characteristics were extracted using ICD-10 codes...

Introduction Stroke lesion volume on MRI or CT provides objective evidence of tissue injury as a consequence of ischemic stroke. Measurement of "final" lesion volume at 24hr following endovascular therapy (post-EVT) has been used in multiple studies as a surrogate for clinical outcome. However, despite successful recanalization, a significant proportion of patients do not experience favorable clinical outcome. The goals of this study were to quantify lesion growth during the first week after treatment, identify early predictors, and explore the association with clinical outcome...

INTRODUCTION: Reporting of sex and gender analysis in medical research has been shown to improve quality of the science and ensures findings are applicable to women and men. There is conflicting evidence on whether efforts by funding agencies and medical journals to encourage reporting of sex and gender analysis has resulted in tangible improvements. This study mapped the inclusion of sex and gender analysis in stroke and dementia research conducted in the Asia-Pacific region. METHODS: A systematic search for Asia-Pacific stroke and dementia research was conducted in PubMed and papers included from the period 2012 to 2022...

BACKGROUND: Although guidelines recommend a target blood pressure 185-180/105-110 mmHg after mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), there is limited randomized evidence to support this level. We surveyed candidate institutions about the approach to blood pressure management in this patient group in preparation for inviting them to participate in the Enhanced Blood Pressure Control after Endovascular Thrombectomy for the Acute Ischemic Stroke Trial (ENCHANTED2/MT). METHODS: Physicians from a professional network of institutions that met mechanical thrombectomy qualification requirements were invited to participate in an online questionnaire covering basic clinical information as well as questions on blood pressure management...

BACKGROUND: The use of Alteplase (ALT) bridging to endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has become the standard approach in treating patients with large vessel stroke (LVO). Tenecteplase (TNK) has emerged as an equivalent fibrinolytic agent in treating ischemic stroke due to its remarkable pharmacological characteristics. This study aims to compare the use of intravenous TNK to ALT bridging to MT in patients with LVO. METHODS: We included observational and randomized controlled trials of patients with LVO who received bridging TNK vs ALT before undergoing MT...

INTRODUCTION: Post-thrombectomy intraparenchymal hyperdense (PTIH) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is a common CT sign, making it difficult for physicians to distinguish intracerebral hemorrhage in the early post-thrombectomy period. The aim of this study is to develop an effective model to differentiate intracerebral hemorrhage from contrast extravasation in patients with PTIH. METHODS: We retrospectively collected information on patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) at two stroke centers between August 2017 and January 2023...

INTRODUCTION: Cerebral perforating arteries provide blood supply to the deep regions of the brain. Recently, it became possible to measure blood flow velocity and pulsatility in these small arteries. It is unknown if vascular risk factors are related to these measures. METHODS: We measured perforating artery flow with 2D phase contrast 7 Tesla MRI at the level of the centrum semiovale (CSO) and the basal ganglia (BG) in seventy participants from the Heart Brain Connection study with carotid occlusive disease (COD), vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), or no actual cerebrovascular disease...

INTRODUCTION: While patients who experience improved cognition following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) typically demonstrate restored brain perfusion after the procedure, it is worth noting that less than 50% of patients in whom postoperative cerebral blood flow (CBF) restoration is achieved actually show improved cognition after postoperatively. This suggests that factors beyond the mere restoration of CBF may play a role in postoperative cognitive improvement. Increased iron deposition in the cerebral cortex may cause neural damage, and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) obtained using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quantifies magnetic susceptibility in the cerebral cortex, allowing for the assessment of iron deposition in vivo...

INTRODUCTION: Calcifications of the intracranial internal carotid artery (iICA) can lead to an increased risk for stroke. Two types of iICA calcification are known: those affecting the tunica intima or the tunica media. In extracranial arteries, risk factors and calcification patterns are different in women and men, but little is known regarding the iICA. In this study we aimed to identify sex-specific risk profiles and medications associated to intimal and medial iICA calcification in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD)...
