The 5-year risk of MI was 2.0% in patients with TIA, 1.5% in the general population (P<0.001), and 2.2% in the ischemic stroke population (P<0.001). After adjustment, these differences in MI rate were similar (TIA versus general population; hazard ratio, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.98–1.02] ...
Efficacy of ticagrelor in patients with PAD: CV death, MI, or stroke at 3 years with ticagrelor (pooled doses, purple) versus placebo (green). ARR = absolute risk reduction; CI = confidence interval; CV = cardiovascular; HR = hazard ratio; MI = myocardial infarction; NNT = number needed...
(2012), their recanalization rate in the CEST group is 33% versus 0% using sCDT. Clinical trials concerning CEST were performed in patients with ischemic stroke (8 studies) and myocardial infarction (1 study) (Table 9). There was a higher recanalization rate of the affected artery in the ...
In 1995, it was first reported from a randomised study that treatment with an intravenous lytic agent in acute ischemic stroke resulted in an improved prognosis [5]. These findings of a similar positive effect by a lytic agent in the setting of an acute infarction in two different organs (th...
Infarction patterns may serve as important imaging markers to assess the probability of stroke recurrence in transient ischemic attack (TIA) and minor stroke. However, it is unclear whether patients with different infarction patterns benefit differently from dual antiplatelet therapy.To investigate whether...

The CHADS2 score was calculated by assigning 1 point each for congestive heart failure (CHF), hypertension, age ≥ 75 years and diabetes mellitus (DM), and 2 points for previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) [16]. The CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated by assigning 1 point...

The risk factors in sickle cell disease for cognitive impairment, overt ischemic stroke, silent cerebral infarction, overt hemorrhagic stroke, and vasculopathy defined by transcranial Doppler or magnetic resonance angiography overlap, with severe acute and chronic anemia, acute chest crisis, reticulocytosis...
