Jun 13th, 2021 - Stroke severity can be mitigated by preceding anticoagulant administration in acute ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated if such mitigative effects are different between warfarin and direct oral anticoagulants (D...

Jun 10th, 2021 - BackgroundStroke not only substantially increases the risk of incident dementia early after stroke, the risk remains elevated years after. AimWe aimed to determine the risk factors of dementia onset more than 3-6 months after stroke or transient i...

Jun 9th, 2021 - Inadvertent malpositioning of a cardiac pacing lead into the left heart chambers is a rare complication of transvenous pacing. We report a patient with a history of a transient ischemic attack and chronic chest pain whose left atrial pacing lead l...

Jun 9th, 2021 - In the United States, patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are commonly admitted to the hospital despite evidence that low-risk TIA patients achieve improved outcomes at lower costs at specialized rapid-access TIA clinics (RATCs). All p...

Jun 8th, 2021 - Intensive rehabilitation effectively improves physical functions in patients with acute stroke, but the frequency of intervention and its cost-effectiveness are poorly studied. This study aimed to examine the effect of early high-frequency rehabil...

Apr 8th, 2019 - Rapid and accurate detection of stroke by paramedics or other emergency clinicians at the time of first contact is crucial for timely initiation of appropriate treatment. Several stroke recognition scales have been developed to support the initial...

Dec 17th, 2018 - Objective: To assess the effectiveness and safety of dual agent antiplatelet therapy combining clopidogrel and aspirin to prevent recurrent thrombotic and bleeding events compared with aspirin alone in patients with acute minor ischaemic stroke o...

Dec 17th, 2018 - What is the role of dual antiplatelet therapy after high risk transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke? Specifically, does dual antiplatelet therapy with a combination of aspirin and clopidogrel lead to a greater reduction in recurrent stroke an...

Jun 7th, 2021 - Patients with mild stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) had a greater benefit from dual antiplatelet therapy if their blood pressure was lower at presentation, a new analysis of the POINT trial shows. The findings give rise to the i...

May 24th, 2021 - When possible, diagnostic tests to determine the cause of a first stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) should be completed within 48 hours after symptom onset, the American Heart Association (AHA)/American Stroke Association (ASA) says in an ...

Mar 4th, 2021 - (Reuters Health) - In the U.S., less than half of Latinos/Hispanics with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) have healthy blood pressure, cholesterol levels and/or blood sugar levels, raising the risk of future cardiovascular ev...
