Contemporary prevalence of carotid stenosis in patients presenting with ischaemic stroke
Carotid stenosis is a common cause of ischaemic stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Despite rising recognition and centralization of stroke services there has been a decline in interventions for carotid stenosis in recent years.

ASCORE: an up-to-date cardiovascular risk score for hypertensive patients reflecting contemporary clinical practice developed using the (ASCOT-BPLA) trial data. [PDF]
A number of risk scores already exist to predict cardiovascular (CV) events. However, scores developed with data collected some time ago might not accurately predict the CV risk of contemporary hypertensive patients that benefit from more modern ...

Management of patients with carotid stenosis [PDF]
Carotid atherosclerosis is one of the main risk factors for ischemic stroke. The annual risk of ipsilateral stroke for asymptomatic, albeit severe stenoses is as low as 1 to 2%, but increases to 13% in patients with recent ischemic symptoms. However the risk decreases after the first 2-3 years from the symptomatic episode, dropping to 3%.

Randomized Trial of Stent versus Surgery for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis.
BACKGROUND Previous clinical trials have suggested that carotid-artery stenting with a device to capture and remove emboli ("embolic protection") is an effective alternative to carotid endarterectomy in patients at average or high risk for surgical ...

Background: Carotid endarterectomy is beneficial in symptomatic patients with ≥70% stenosis at the bifurcation of the internal carotid artery. The fact that the duplex ultrasound is widely used, inexpensive and non-invasive for examination of the carotid

Inflated 3D Convolution-Transformer for Weakly-supervised Carotid Stenosis Grading with Ultrasound Videos [PDF]
Localization of the narrowest position of the vessel and corresponding vessel and remnant vessel delineation in carotid ultrasound (US) are essential for carotid stenosis grading (CSG) in clinical practice. However, the pipeline is time-consuming and tough due to the ambiguous boundaries of plaque and temporal variation. To automatize this procedure, a

Cerebral perfusion MR imaging using FAIR-HASTE in chronic carotid occlusive disease: comparison with dynamic susceptibility contrast-perfusion MR imaging. [PDF]
To determine the efficacy of flow-sensitive alternating inversion recovery using half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (FAIR-HASTE) in detecting cerebral hypoperfusion in chronic carotid occlusive disease, we subjected 12 patients with various degrees

Carotid endarterectomy is currently the most effective intervention to prevent stroke in patients with recent symptoms of carotid stenosis.1 2 It also prevents future stroke in younger patients (under 75 years) who have not yet had symptoms, as long as the risk of stroke and death from surgery is not more than 3% Patients naturally prefer carotid ...

Time trends in survival and readmission following coronary artery bypass grafting in Scotland, 1981-96: retrospective observational study [PDF]
Improvements in coronary revascularisation techniques and an increase in the use of percutaneous interventions1 have led to a rise in the number of coronary artery bypass grafting operations in older patients with more severe cardiac disease and worse ...
