Population‐Based Study of Incidence of Acute Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms With Projected Impact of Screening Strategy

TL;DR: Given that two thirds of acute AAA occurred at ≥75 years of age, screening older age groups should be considered, and screening nonsmokers at age 65 is likely to have very little impact on AAA event rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disentangling the multiple links between renal dysfunction and cerebrovascular disease.

TL;DR: The current understanding of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of cerebrovascular disease in CKD is outlined and non-traditional risk factors such as uraemia, oxidative stress, mineral and bone abnormalities, and dialysis-related factors are postulated to play a role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shared genetic contribution to ischemic stroke and Alzheimer's disease

Matthew Traylor, +208 more
- 01 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the evidence that shared genetic factors underpin the two diseases and found evidence of a shared genetic contribution between Alzheimer's disease and small vessel stroke (rG [standard error] 0.37 [0.17] and p 0.011).
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal trends in the risks of stroke and death due to endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis: an updated systematic review.

TL;DR: There is no evidence of a systematic reduction over the last decade in the published risks due to CEA for symptomatic stenosis, and the lower proportion of non-fatal operative strokes in surgeon-only studies suggests that some minor operative strokes have been missed.
