Importance Atrial cardiopathy is associated with stroke in the absence of clinically apparent atrial fibrillation. It unknown whether anticoagulation, which has proven benefit fibrillation, prevents patients and no Objective To compare anticoagulation vs antiplatelet therapy for secondary prevention cryptogenic evidence cardiopathy. Design, Setting, Participants Multicenter, double-blind, phase 3 randomized clinical trial 1015 participants cardiopathy, defined as P-wave terminal force...
RCVS (Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstrictive Syndrome) is a condition associated with vasoactive agents that alter endothelial function. There growing evidence inflammation contributes to cerebrovascular disease in patients coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). In our study, we describe the clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of multicenter case series COVID-19.Multicenter retrospective series. We collected characteristics, imaging, COVID-19 identified at each participating site.Ten were...
There is a paucity of evidence on whether gestational diabetes (GDM) risk factor for cerebral vascular disease Black women and lack data incident stroke as end point. We conducted large prospective cohort study across the United States assessed association between self-reported history GDM stroke. The began when participants became parous or enrolled in 1995. followed up 41 143 who were free cancer until stroke, death, 2021. Our exposure was GDM, outcome Multivariable Cox proportional...
Importance Black individuals in the US experience stroke and stroke-related mortality at younger ages more frequently than other racial groups. Studies examining prospective association of interpersonal racism with are lacking. Objective To examine perceived incident among women. Design, Setting, Participants The Women’s Health Study, a cohort study 59 000 women from across US, assessed longitudinal between incidence. Stroke-free participants were followed up 1997 until onset stroke, death,...
BackgroundBlack women have a disproportionately higher burden of both preeclamptic pregnancy and stroke compared with White women, but virtually all existing evidence on this possible association has been generated from European ancestry.MethodsIn the Black Women's Health Study, prospective cohort U.S. who enrolled in 1995, 42,924 participants were parous free cardiovascular disease at baseline. Biennial questionnaires included questions preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, stroke. We...
Unprecedented workflow shifts during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have contributed to delays in acute care delivery, but whether it adversely affected endovascular thrombectomy metrics large vessel occlusion (LVO) is unknown.We performed a retrospective review of observational data from 14 comprehensive stroke centers nine US states with LVO. EVT were compared between March July against 2020 (primary analysis), and state-specific pre-peak peak COVID-19 months (secondary...
Background and purpose The diagnosis management of acute fetal posterior cerebral artery occlusion are challenging. While endovascular treatment is established for anterior circulation large vessel stroke, little known about the course occlusions. We report clinical course, radiological findings considerations stroke. Methods performed a retrospective review consecutive patients presenting with who underwent angiogram and/or mechanical thrombectomy between January 2015 2021. Patients...
Background and Purpose: Enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) are considered subclinical markers of small vessel disease, associated with increased risk stroke dementia. Increasing evidence links chronic kidney disease (CKD) to disease. We explored the relationship between CKD EPVS burden influence racial group in this relation. Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging were included (n=894). Racial was categorized as White, Black, or other (other groups)....
Background: Hemodynamic insufficiency is often considered the cause of ischemic stroke in patients with moyamoya syndrome. While high-intensity transient signals (HITS) on transcranial Doppler (TCD) have been reported this population, relationship between these and symptoms not clearly established. Accordingly, current treatment directed at improving perfusion. Clinical Presentation: We present two cerebral ischemia angiographic findings In each case, may caused by either hypoperfusion or...
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to healthcare organizations worldwide. A steadily rising number of patients requiring intensive care, a large proportion from racial and ethnic minorities, demands creative solutions provide high-quality care while ensuring worker safety in the face limited resources. Boston Medical Center been particularly affected due underserved patient population we for increased risk ischemic stroke with infection.
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is highly prevalent, but frequently unrecognized among stroke patients. Polysomnography (PSG) difficult to perform soon after a stroke. We evaluated the use of screening questionnaires and portable sleep testing (PST) for patients with acute stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or transient ischemic attack expedite SDB diagnosis management. performed single-center retrospective analysis quality improvement study on consecutive daytime, weekday, adult admissions...

Perihematomal edema (PHE) surrounding intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) may contribute to disease-associated morbidity. Before quantifying PHE's effects on morbidity, a fast, accurate, and reproducible method for measuring PHE volume is needed. The aim of this study demonstrate the use semiautomated dual clustering segmentation algorithm generate volumetrics noncontrast computed tomography (CT) head compare technique physicians' manual calculations.This single-center, retrospective imaging that...
Introduction: Despite significant efforts to increase public awareness of cerebrovascular disease, the incidence stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) in young adults has remained elevated, representing a major health concern. We sought better characterize our population order gain insight as where targeted interventions could be beneficial community outreach support affected patients. Methods: conducted retrospective study evaluating (under 50 years age) presenting single urban...
Background: Stroke at midlife contributes to earlier mortality and greater disability. There is a critical lack of data about early life stroke risk factors among Black women, group with higher rates hypertension compared other racial groups. The hypothesis the study that onset increases women. Methods: Women’s Health Study prospective 59000 women from across US who were followed since 1995. Baseline year for this analysis was 1999 questionnaire. We included stroke-free participants younger...

This article describes imaging modalities used in the evaluation of patients presenting with symptoms acute ischemic stroke.The year 2015 marked beginning a new era stroke care widespread adoption mechanical thrombectomy. Subsequent randomized controlled trials 2017 and 2018 brought community even further into this territory expansion eligibility window for thrombectomy using imaging-based patient selection, which led to an increase use perfusion imaging. Now, after several years routine...
