Journal ArticleDOI
Lowering homocysteine in patients with ischemic stroke to prevent recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, and death: the Vitamin Intervention for Stroke Prevention (VISP) randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: In this trial, moderate reduction of total homocysteine after nondisabling cerebral infarction had no effect on vascular outcomes during the 2 years of follow-up, and the consistent findings of an association of totalhomocysteines with vascular risk suggests that further exploration of the hypothesis is warranted and longer trials in different populations with elevated total homocrysteine may be necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the associations between carotid artery atherosclerosis and coronary artery stenosis. A case-control study.
Timothy E. Craven,J E Ryu,Mark A. Espeland,Frederic R. Kahl,William M. McKinney,James F. Toole,Mary Ruth McMahan,Corleen J. Thompson,Gerardo Heiss,John R. Crouse +9 more
TL;DR: B-mode score is strongly, consistently, and independently associated with coronary artery disease in patients older than 50 and is at least as useful as well-known risk factors for identifying patients with coronary arteries disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wesley S. Moore,H.J.M. Barnett,Hugh G. Beebe,Eugene F. Bernstein,Bruce J. Brener,Thomas G. Brott,Louis R. Caplan,Arthur Day,Jerry Goldstone,Robert W. Hobson,Richard F. Kempczinski,David B.

TL;DR: The American Heart Association assembled a group of experts in a multidisciplinary consensus conference to develop this statement as discussed by the authors, and each expert presented a talk and provided the chairman with a summary statement, from these summary statements a document was developed and edited onsite to achieve consensus before final revision.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A literature review was carried out by the Department of Healthcare Services Research, Cedars-Sinai Health System, Los Angeles, California, using the MEDLINE database search for 1990 through April 1998 and updated in November 1998 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The global burden of disease study: implications for neurology.
TL;DR: This study provides compelling evidence that one cannot assess the neurologic health status of a population by examining mortality statistics alone, and health ministries worldwide must prioritize neurologic disorders.
