It is important to assess the risk of stroke in patients with AF which led to the formation of the CHA2 DS2-VASc score which clinically predicts the risk of stroke in patients with AF. This article suggests the use of C-reactive protein as a better tool in the risk assessment of stroke...
BEIJING, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have developed a tool for predicting personalized 10-year and lifetime stroke risks among Chinese adults, which will facilitate the identification and prevention of the disease in China. Risk assessment is essential for the primary prevention of stro...
The award-winning, validated, free to use Stroke Riskometer app is a unique and easy to use tool for assessing your individual stroke-related risk. Your risk is calculated using information such as your age, gender, ethnicity, lifestyle and other health factors that directly influence your like...
We tested the association between familial risk for stroke and prevalence of the disease among US adults and assessed the use of family history of stroke as a risk assessment tool for the disease. Methods: Using data from the 2005 HealthStyles survey (n = 4,819), we explored the ...
UCLA researchers have used a brain-imaging tool and stroke risk assessment to identify signs of cognitive decline early on in individuals who don't yet show symptoms of dementia.
Incident stroke can be accurately predicted using self-reported information focused on health behaviours. Risk assessment can be performed with population health surveys to support population health planning or outside of clinical settings to support patient-focused prevention. 展开 ...
"This is a very easy tool that any doctor can use in clinical practice," he added. "And it can potentially help doctors provide more targeted and effective treatment to these patients, ultimately aiming to highlight the people at higher risk of this arrhythmia that can benefit from prolonged...
