Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy associated with future cardiovascular risk

The current study, published in JAMA Network Open Cardiology, used Mendelian randomization (MR) to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on the relationship between these diseases to the risk of multiple CVD in the future.

Adipose-targeted delivery of thyroid hormone alleviates hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis

A research team from LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) has developed thyroid hormone (TH) - encapsulated nanoparticles modified with adipose-homing peptide, which selectively transport TH to adipose tissues.

Stroke patients with cognitive and emotional problems have higher risk of being more fatigued

Some people feel worse than others after a stroke. Stroke patients with cognitive and emotional problems tend to experience fatigue more often and sleep more during the day, according to recent research.

Neuroprotectant linked to reduced death and disability among stroke patients

The neuroprotectant ApTOLL, a medication that may shield the brain from tissue damage, was linked to reduced death and disability among people being treated for stroke when used with standard treatments to restore blood flow, according to preliminary late-breaking science presented today at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2023.

Using blood pressure medications after endovascular treatment for stroke may not be safe or effective

Using blood pressure medications to lower the top number of blood pressure reading (systolic blood pressure) may not be safe or effective among people who have an acute ischemic stroke and undergo a successful mechanical clot removal — endovascular therapy, according to a phase-2 late-breaking clinical trial presented today at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2023.

About 1 in 5 stroke survivors found to have irregular heart rhythms

Irregular heart rhythms were detected in about 1 in 5 people who survived an ischemic stroke due to atherosclerosis (buildup of fatty substances in the arteries) after being continuously monitored for three years with an insertable cardiac device, according to preliminary late-breaking science presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2023.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and Ad26.COV2.S vaccination may increase risk of stroke post-vaccination

Researchers examined the factors associated with stroke following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination.

Statewide analysis of deaths in Florida associated with cannabis use

In the United States, 49.6 million Americans ages 12 and older used cannabis or marijuana in 2020. More than 5.4 million Americans are medical cannabis patients.

Researchers discover how a protein deficiency can prepare the brain to minimize damage after stress

Astrocytes, small star-shaped cells, play an important role in signal transmission in the brain. Since the protein Ezrin is found abundantly in astrocyte tendrils, it is presumed to play a role in brain function.

Lifestyle-related metabolite biomarker may be a target to reduce stroke risk in Black adults

Researchers have identified a lifestyle-related metabolite biomarker called gluconic acid that is associated with high blood pressure, increased risk of ischemic stroke, eating a Southern diet, lower level of education and lack of exercise, among Black adults, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2023.

Trial shows the benefit of using a celery seed-derived medication after clot treatment in stroke patients

People who had an ischemic (clot-caused) stroke and were treated with a clot-busting medication and/or mechanical clot removal and also received butylphthalide, a medication initially compounded from celery seed, experienced milder neurological symptoms with better functioning at three months after the stroke, compared to stroke patients who had their clots treated but received a placebo medication, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2023.

Transient ischemic attack needs emergency assessment to help prevent a full-blown stroke

Stroke symptoms that disappear in under an hour, known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), need emergency assessment to help prevent a full-blown stroke, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement published today in the Association's journal Stroke.
