With 16.9 million people who suffered a first-ever stroke in 2010 worldwide, stroke is a very common vascular disease. Epidemiologic studies have played an essential role in assessing this burden and in detecting the risk factors for stroke. Primary prevention of these risk factors, primarily hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation ...

Medical Clinics of North America, 2009
Effective management of patients who have cerebrovascular disease depends on accurate diagnosis. Many conditions cause clinical findings that closely mimic cerebrovascular disorders and are often ruled out through brain imaging or laboratory findings. Diagnosis of cerebrovascular disorders is based on the presence of risk factors for vascular disease ...

Cerebrovascular disease and dementia
Drugs of Today, 2005Cerebrovascular disease and dementia are extremely prevalent and disabling disorders affecting older people. Results of previous pathological investigations and later epidemiological studies have raised the possibility that the two disorders may be causally related.

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2003
Carotid endarterectomy remains the preferred surgical intervention for the prevention of stroke among patients with extracranial cerebrovascular disease. Subgroup analyses of the results of several multicentre trials have contributed substantially to our understanding of the appropriate selection of patients and the perioperative risk associated with ...

Neuroprotection in Cerebrovascular Disease
Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2000The role of neuroprotection in the management of acute cerebrovascular disease is reviewed. Neuroprotection is a valuable adjunct to thrombolytic therapy in acute cerebral ischaemia. Various pharmacological approaches for neuroprotection are based on the current knowledge of molecular events in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischaemia.

Overview of Cerebrovascular Disease
2008Stroke is the third leading cause of death in industrialized nations, with an annual incidence of about 700,000 stroke events. Ischemic strokes constitute 80–86% of all strokes. It has been estimated that ≥50% carotid stenosis may be responsible for up to 25% of all ischemic strokes.

Imaging in cerebrovascular disease
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2001Various functional imaging modalities can be applied in acute ischaemic stroke to identify functionally impaired, but morphologically preserved tissue (i.e. the penumbra), and to distinguish it from irreversibly damaged tissue. Flow thresholds for irreversible tissue destruction resulting in functional impairment, as determined by positron emission ...

Microalbuminuria in cerebrovascular diseases
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2003Microalbuminuria was originally introduced to clinical practice as a useful marker of incipient diabetic nephropathy. The growing body of evidence suggests that increased urinary albumin excretion is related to the increased risk of cardiovascular events and all causes mortality in subjects with or without diabetes.

Dementia with Cerebrovascular Disease
Science of Aging Knowledge Environment, 2006In this case study, we review the symptoms, cognitive testing, brain imaging, and brain pathology of a woman with dementia, for whom the neuropathological findings suggest a prominent contribution of cerebrovascular disease. Vascular dementia is the term commonly used for persons with dementia resulting from strokes, either clinically evident or ...

Hypertension and Cerebrovascular Disease
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1980Although hypertension is the greatest risk factor for stroke, its control with antihypertensive drugs improves survival and decreases the incidence of stroke. If a stroke should occur, careful antihypertensive therapy has not been harmful. Sodium nitroprusside is the initial drug of choice in acute crises.
