Much has been published on the natural history of intermittent claudication (IC), but little is known about the clinical features of stroke patients with IC. The purpose of this study was to examine clinical features and risk factors in stroke patients with or without IC, including heart disease and
The clinical features, risk factors, neuroimaging findings, and outcome of acute ischemic stroke were assessed in patients with intermittent claudication. Data from 142 patients with ischemic stroke and intermittent claudication were collected from a prospective hospital-based stroke registry in
OBJECTIVE
To compare the characteristics of lacunar stroke (LS) in patients with and without intermittent claudication.
METHODS
Data of 484 consecutive patients with LS were collected from a prospective hospital-based stroke registry in which 2500 patients are included.
RESULTS
Of the 142 patients
There has been little attention to vascular calcium testing for generalized assessment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes, such as intermittent claudication (IC) and ischemic stroke (IS). We hypothesize that aortic calcium is an important predictor of CVD outcomes. Lumbar x-rays were obtained
OBJECTIVE
To determine the relations of plasma fibrinogen to family history of premature heart disease, personal history of hypertension, diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease, and to presence of intermittent claudication.
METHODS
Random population survey across 22 local government districts in
The Swedish Ticlopidine Multicentre Study (STIMS) was a double-blind placebo-controlled trial designed to determine whether ticlopidine, a platelet antiaggregatory agent, reduces the incidence of myocardial infarction, stroke and transitory ischaemic attacks in patients with intermittent
BACKGROUND
A recent worldwide disease registration study has revealed a high prevalence of polyvascular diseases in stroke patients. However, although a poor clinical outcome of patients with polyvascular disease has been reported, there have been few reports on clinical features of peripheral
BACKGROUND
Retinal infarction and transient monocular blindness (TMB) are associated with an increased risk of future ischaemic stroke. Little information is available on the type of subsequent ischaemic strokes that may occur (anterior or posterior circulation and small vessel or large
OBJECTIVE
To characterize the clinical factors and prognosis and identify determinants of ischemic stroke recurrence in acute stroke.
METHODS
Recurrent stroke patterns were studied in 605 consecutive patients admitted with a second or further ischemic stroke to the Department of Neurology of the
BACKGROUND
Intracranial stenoses (IS) are known to be a manifestation of atherosclerosis and a cause of cerebral ischemia, although very few clinical reports have appeared describing such patients in our milieu.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to describe the vascular risk factors, clinical
OBJECTIVE
To assess the clinical features and incidence rate of stroke in young adults (less than 55 years of age).
METHODS
Hospital-based descriptive study of 280 young inpatients consecutively admitted for stroke over a period of 24 years. We conducted a comparison with the remaining 4,312
This study analyzes 234 patients who recovered from an initial ischemic episode. The object was to see if the duration of the first episode influenced the chance of finding a treatable lesion or the chance of a further episode. The initial episodes varied from less than 5 minutes to longer than 3
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relation between ventilatory function and subsequent mortality due to cerebrovascular disease.
METHODS
Prospective longitudinal study.
METHODS
A total of 18,403 male civil servants aged 40-64 years at entry examination for the Whitehall study.
METHODS
Mortality from
Stroke was never identified as a significant, autonomous field of activity of the emerging school of neurology at La Salpêtrière, which developed after the appointment of Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) during the last days of 1861. However, stroke was already present in Charcot's first paper
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the frequency of various risk factors for overall stroke and to identify risk factors for cerebral infarction (CI) versus intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in a large hospital-based stroke registry.
METHODS
Data from a total of 3901 patients, consisting of 3525 patients with CI
