Hacke and colleagues conducted a double-blind, randomized trial to examine the effects of alteplase on patients with acute ischemic stroke. Patients were excluded if they had intracranial bleeding or an increased risk of bleeding (e.g., recent anticoagulant use, thrombocytopenia, prior stroke or ...
How long does ischemic heart disease take to develop? Is ischemic heart disease curable? Is CHD and stable ischemic heart disease the same thing? How does a stroke affect the urinary system? What abbreviation do we use for a transient ischemic attack?
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) can warn you that a true stroke is coming. That's why you should always get immediate medical attention if you have brief signs of a stroke that seem to go away with no lasting harm. The same problems that caused those symptoms can cause a stroke. Rese...
a blood clot forms in the area in response to the injury. The clot may block the flow of blood through the artery, causing a heart attack. Sadly, some heart attacks lead to the heart stopping completely, a situation known as sudden cardiac arrest. The heart may also start...
A type of stroke, called an ischemic stroke, can also lead to a coma. This stroke occurs when an artery that supplies the brain with blood is blocked. The blockage starves the brain of blood and oxygen. If it is very large, the person can fall into a stupor or coma. In people with...
Metabolites involved in cardiovascular risk are often related to gut microbiota; i.e., trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), has recently been linked to atherosclerosis and thrombosis rate increase. TMAO levels seem to correlate with the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with prior ischemic stroke,...

Dual-energy CT may be used for this purpose, exploiting its ability to discriminate different materials. Materials and methods We retrospectively studied 44 patients with acute ischemic stroke who were treated with endovascular recanalization at San Giovanni Bosco Hospital in Turin and were then scanned...
Conclusions:In older adults, higher circulating total long-chain n-3 PUFA and docosahexaenoic acid levels were associated with lower risk of incident AF (atrial fibrillation). These results highlight the need to evaluate whether increased dietary intake of these fatty acids could be effective for th...
