Journal ArticleDOI

Posterior circulation ischaemic stroke and transient ischaemic attack: diagnosis, investigation, and secondary prevention

TL;DR: Improved methods of non-invasive imaging of the vertebrobasilar arterial tree have been used in recent prospective follow-up studies, which have shown a high risk of early recurrent stroke, particularly when there is associated vertebro Basilar stenosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is stroke incidence related to season or temperature

TL;DR: The widely reported winter excess of ischaemic strokes may be an artifact due to referral bias in hospital-based studies and increased case fatality during the winter in mortality studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outcome after spontaneous and arteriovenous malformation-related intracerebral haemorrhage: population-based studies.

TL;DR: Outcome after AVM-ICH is better than after sICH, independent of patient age and other known predictors of ICH outcome, as well as following stratification by age and sensitivity analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long term risks of stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death in “low risk” patients with a non-recent transient ischaemic attack

TL;DR: The overall risk of major vascular events remains high for 10 to 15 years after a TIA, and it is important therefore that preventive treatments are continued in the long term, even in apparently “low risk” patients who have already survived free of stroke for several years.
