  • Several risk factors for stroke have been documented, mostly by studies conducted in high- income countries [4]. (cdc.gov)
  • Excessive alcohol consumption and psychosocial stress/depression were considered by the AHA/ASA as less well- documented risk factors for stroke [4] but we have included them in this review since they emerged as major risk factors for stroke in the INTERSTROKE study [3]. (cdc.gov)
  • Two of the major goals in the treatment of this condition include reducing progression or recurrence of the arrhythmia and decreasing the risk of cardiovascular events, thereby improving quality of life and decreasing morbidity. (romanianjournalcardiology.ro)
  • Eighty-nine (36%) of the 249 participants taking antiplatelet therapy had no known history of cardiovascular morbidity. (ox.ac.uk)
  • People with high clinical risk factors have the most to gain from cardiovascular risk lowering interventions. (bpac.org.nz)
  • 1 This approach allows for more accurate stratification of cardiovascular risk than can be achieved using clinical perception alone. (bpac.org.nz)
  • Adjudication was based on patient history, contact with the reference general practitioner and clinical records documenting the occurrence of the event/arrhythmia. (physionet.org)
  • A large-scale nationwide database would enable the analysis of every ICB event after CABG and allow more detailed analyses to guide preventive strategies in real-world clinical settings. (frontiersin.org)
  • METHODS AND RESULTS: Potential predictors of events included demographic and clinical characteristics, choice of treatment, and lifestyle factors. (bvsalud.org)
  • The findings, published in Journal of Clinical Oncology , suggest routine thorough cardiovascular history, electrocardiography and echocardiography might identify patients who need regular cardiovascular follow-up during and after immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment, researchers noted.

  • Treatment with ticagrelor (Brilinta, AstraZeneca) plus aspirin reduced the risk of stroke and death when compared with aspirin alone, according to results from a phase 3 clinical study. (drugtopics.com)
  • The Characteristics of Patients With Possible Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Stroke in the Hunter and Manning Valley Regions, Australia (the INSIST Study). (ox.ac.uk)
  • 50.6% (n = 246 425/486 818) received anticoagulation at diagnosis The GARFIELD-รข AF models outperformed the CHA2DS2VASc and HAS-BLED scores in discrimination ability of death, stroke, and major bleeding at all the time points. (bvsalud.org)
  • If a patient has no response for the first migraine attack treated with rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets, USP, the diagnosis of migraine should be reconsidered before rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets, USP are administered to treat any subsequent attacks. (nih.gov)
  • A TIA diagnosis may be made based on your medical history alone. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Diagnosis depends on a careful history, eyewitness accounts, or fortuitous examination during the event. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The aim of the present study was to assess the predictive performance of SxSII in patients presenting with ACS undergoing PCI and to compare it to the previously validated SxS and the commonly used Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score [ 13 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • CONCLUSION: The GARFIELD-AF models were superior to the CHA2DS2VASc score for discriminating stroke and death and superior to the HAS-BLED score for discriminating major bleeding. (bvsalud.org)
  • The GARFIELD-AF risk score was superior to CHA2DS2-VASc for non-haemorrhagic stroke, and it outperformed HAS-BLED for major bleeding in internal validation and in the Danish AF cohort. (bvsalud.org)
  • Researchers reported a 10.3% incidence of major cardiovascular events, with a median time to event of 5 months. (eventdecorsupply.ca)
  • Aspirin alone or in combination with a thienopyridine (dual antiplatelet therapy) reduces the risk of coronary ischemic events in patients with ACS. (jabfm.org)
  • Despite improvements in surgical techniques, equipment, and perioperative care, the incidence of post-CABG stroke has not significantly declined over the past decade ( 2 - 5 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • Despite the importance of identifying the incidence pattern and risk factors for ICB in patients undergoing CABG, there is limited available information concerning this, including indirect data from drug trials or unselected stroke populations ( 7 - 10 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • 64.7% men) with cancer treated with ICIs, and compared incidence rates with patients with cancer not treated with ICIs and population controls after matching according to age, sex, cardiovascular history and cancer type. (eventdecorsupply.ca)
  • Cumulative incidence rates were significantly higher in the ICI group compared with the cancer cohort not exposed to ICI and the population controls, mainly driven by a higher risk of heart failure events," the researchers wrote. (eventdecorsupply.ca)
  • The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of cardiovascular events and factors associated with cardiovascular events in these patients. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Competing risk survival analysis methods were applied to estimate the cumulative incidence of developing cardiovascular events over time and to identify which characteristics were associated with the risk of these events. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Applying competing risk methodology, it was observed that the accumulated incidence of the event was 5.0% one year after transplantation, 8.1% after five years, and 11.9% after ten years. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This study makes it possible to determine in kidney transplant patients, taking into account competitive events, the incidence of post-transplant cardiovascular events and the risk factors of these events. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The study was conducted with the aim determining the incidence of cardiovascular events and the variables associated with the same, employing competing risk methodology to estimate the events of interest. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Although the incidence of late DRT and PDL isn't known, the longer-term PRAGUE-17 data are helpful in demonstrating that rates of SSE remain similar in the LAAC and NOAC groups over time, without any obvious signal of late ischemic events in the LAAC group," he writes. (medscape.com)
  • The current literature on cardiovascular toxicity of ICIs consists mainly of case series," Dorien Laenens, MD, cardiologist in the department of cardiology at University Hospitals Leuven in Belgium, and colleagues wrote. (eventdecorsupply.ca)
