A Review of Neurogenic Stunned Myocardium. [PDF]
Neurologic stunned myocardium (NSM) is a phenomenon where neurologic events give rise to cardiac abnormalities. Neurologic events like stroke and seizures cause sympathetic storm and autonomic dysregulation that result in myocardial injury.

CerebroVis: Designing an Abstract yet Spatially Contextualized Cerebral Arteries Network Visualization [PDF]
Blood circulation in the human brain is supplied through a network of cerebral arteries. If a clinician suspects a patient has a stroke or other cerebrovascular condition they order imaging tests. Neuroradiologists visually search the resulting scans for abnormalities.

Long-term wine consumption is related to cardiovascular mortality and life expectancy independently of moderate alcohol intake: the Zutphen Study [PDF]
Background: Light to moderate alcohol intake lowers the risk of cardiovascular mortality, but whether this protective effect can be attributed to a specific type of beverage remains unclear.

Carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide: gaseous messengers in cerebrovascular circulation [PDF]
This review focuses on two gaseous cellular messenger molecules, CO and H2S, that are involved in cerebrovascular flow regulation. CO is a dilatory mediator in active hyperemia, autoregulation, hypoxic dilation, and counteracting vasoconstriction. It is produced from heme by a constitutively expressed enzyme [heme oxygenase (HO)-2] expressed highly in ...

Cerebrovascular Segmentation via Vessel Oriented Filtering Network [PDF]
Accurate cerebrovascular segmentation from Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) and Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is of great significance in diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular pathology. Due to the complexity and topology variability of blood vessels, complete and accurate segmentation of vascular network is still a challenge.

Blood pressure control versus atrial fibrillation management in stroke prevention [PDF]
Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for atrial fibrillation which in turn is the most prevalent concomitant condition in hypertensive patients. While both these pathological conditions are independent risk factors for stroke, the association of

Circulating CD34-Positive Cells Provide an Index of Cerebrovascular Function [PDF]
Background— Increasing evidence points to a role for circulating endothelial progenitor cells, including populations of CD34- and CD133-positive cells present in peripheral blood, in maintenance of the vasculature and neovascularization.

Microwave Tomographic Imaging of Cerebrovascular Accidents by Using High-Performance Computing [PDF]
The motivation of this work is the detection of cerebrovascular accidents by microwave tomographic imaging. This requires the solution of an inverse problem relying on a minimization algorithm (for example, gradient-based), where successive iterations consist in repeated solutions of a direct problem.

Extracranial-Intracranial Vascular Shunt Procedures [PDF]
Cerebrovascular occlusive disease has been and continues to be a leading cause of death and disability throughout the world. In the United States there are about 400,000 new strokes each year. Some 90% of strokes are a result of vascular occlusion of the
