Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic Review of Methods and Results of Studies of the Genetic Epidemiology of Ischemic Stroke

TL;DR: Twin studies suggest a small genetic contribution to stroke, but reliable interpretation of published family history studies is undermined by major heterogeneity, insufficient detail, and potential publication and reporting bias.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of myocardial infarction and vascular death after transient ischemic attack and ischemic stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Patients with TIA or stroke have a relatively high risk of myocardial infarction and nonstroke vascular death, and additional research is needed to identify the determinants of coronary artery disease in stroke patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

MoCA, ACE-R, and MMSE Versus the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke–Canadian Stroke Network Vascular Cognitive Impairment Harmonization Standards Neuropsychological Battery After TIA and Stroke

TL;DR: The MoCA and ACE-R had good sensitivity and specificity for MCI defined using the Neurological Disorders and Stroke–Canadian Stroke Network Vascular Cognitive Impairment Battery ≥1 year after transient ischemic attack and stroke, whereas the MMSE showed a ceiling effect.

Genome-wide association study identifies a variant in HDAC9 associated with large vessel ischemic stroke

TL;DR: The authors conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for ischemic stroke and its subtypes in 3,548 affected individuals and 5,972 controls, all of European ancestry, and identified a new association for large vessel stroke within HDAC9 (encoding histone deacetylase 9) on chromosome 7p21.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equivalence of measurements of carotid stenosis. A comparison of three methods on 1001 angiograms. European Carotid Surgery Trialists' Collaborative Group.

TL;DR: There were major and clinically important disparities between measurements of stenosis made using different methods of measurement on the same angiograms, but it is possible to convert measurements made by one method to those of another using a simple arithmetic equation.
