TL;DR: Noninvasive ambulatory ECG monitoring for a target of 30 days significantly improved the detection of atrial fibrillation by a factor of more than five and nearly doubled the rate of anticoagulant treatment, as compared with the standard practice of short-duration ECG Monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between age and cardiovascular disease in men and women with diabetes compared with non-diabetic people: a population-based retrospective cohort study
Gillian L. Booth,Gillian L. Booth,Gillian L. Booth,Moira K. Kapral,Kinwah Fung,Jack V. Tu,Jack V. Tu,Jack V. Tu +7 more
TL;DR: The main aim of this study was to find out the age at which people with diabetes develop a high risk of CVD, as defined by an event rate equivalent to a 10-year risk of 20% or more; or an event rates equivalent to that associated with previous myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impracticability of Informed Consent in the Registry of the Canadian Stroke Network
Jack V. Tu,Donald J. Willison,Frank L. Silver,Jiming Fang,Janice A. Richards,Andreas Laupacis,Moira K. Kapral +6 more
TL;DR: Obtaining written informed consent for participation in a stroke registry led to important selection biases, such that registry patients were not representative of the typical patient with stroke at each center, and highlight the need for legislation on privacy and policies permitting waivers of informed Consent for minimal-risk observational research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potentially Preventable Strokes in High-Risk Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Who Are Not Adequately Anticoagulated
David J. Gladstone,Esther Bui,Jiming Fang,Andreas Laupacis,M. Patrice Lindsay,Jack V. Tu,Frank L. Silver,Moira K. Kapral +7 more
TL;DR: In high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation admitted with a stroke, and who were candidates for anticoagulation, most were either not taking warfarin or were subtherapeutic at the time of ischemic stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Differences in Stroke Care and Outcomes: Results From the Registry of the Canadian Stroke Network
Moira K. Kapral,Jiming Fang,Michael D. Hill,Frank L. Silver,Janice A. Richards,Cheryl Jaigobin,Angela M. Cheung +6 more
TL;DR: Compared with men, women were more often institutionalized and had a slightly worse functional status at 6 months after stroke, whereas among patients participating in the RCSN, there were no major sex differences in stroke presentation or management.
