Risk factorsStrokeIschemic and hemorrhagic strokes are the most common known cerebrovascular disease which can be induced by modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Age and race are the most common non-modifiable risk factors of stroke. However, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, ...
“High blood pressure and diabetes are two important risk factors for stroke that can be managed by medication, decreasing a person’s risk,” said study author George Howard, DrPH, of theUniversity of Alabamaat Birmingham School of Public Health. “Our findings show that their association with ...
“Our hope is that this research will elevate the awareness and urgency surrounding screening for stroke risk factors including AF and hypertension and offer suggestions on what can be done on a country-by-country level to further impro...
After accounting for risk factors such as high blood pressure, age and weight, long sleep -- more than eight hours -- was 54% more common among stroke survivors, Hassani's group reported. Likewise, short sleep -- less than six hours -- was 50% more likely among stroke survivors than pe...
Mendelian randomization identified diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as a key modifiable risk factor for sarcomere-negative HCM, with a one standard deviation increase in DBP increasing the HCM risk fourfold. Common variants and modifiable risk factors have important roles in HCM that we suggest will ...

The researchers hope to conduct similar studies in people who have not experienced a stroke, but have risk factors for stroke. “Extending the analysis to populations at risk of stroke is crucial for understanding broader implications and developing potential preventive strategies for those susceptible ...
46. We utilized the population-based, multiomic FINRISK 2002 cohort47to assess the individual and combined performance of PRSs, gut microbiome scores and conventional risk factors to incident disease. Finally, we generated and validated multiomic predictive models for each disease and have made these...
About Highway to HealthDeveloped by SVS, the Highway to Health campaign aims to educate and raise awareness about the symptoms and risk factors associated with vascular disease as most underestimate their risk, leaving them vulnerable to serious health c...
Such widespread use of hormone-controlling drugs is what Nazarian says may explain why women with migraines have such high risk of ischemic stroke. Contraceptives and other estrogen therapies are both known to contribute to long-term risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and stroke, such as high...
