Comparative assessment of absolute cardiovascular disease risk characterization from non-laboratory-based risk assessment in South African populations [PDF]

, 2015
Background: All rigorous primary cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention guidelines recommend absolute CVD risk scores to identify high- and low-risk patients, but laboratory testing can be impractical in low- and middle-income countries.

Intensive Medical Care and Cardiovascular Disease Disability Reductions [PDF]

There is little empirical evidence to explain why disability declined among the elderly over the past 20 years. In this paper, we explore the role of improved medical care for cardiovascular disease on health status improvements over time.

Pharmacological treatment and prevention of cerebral small vessel disease: a review of potential interventions [PDF]

, 2015
Small vessel disease encompasses lacunar stroke, white matter hyperintensities, lacunes and microbleeds. It causes a quarter of all ischemic strokes, is the commonest cause of vascular dementia, and the cause is incompletely understood.

Carotid artery stenting vs. endarterectomy [PDF]

, 2017
Randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is superior to medical management for stroke prevention in patients with symptomatic and, to a lesser degree, asymptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis.

Management of Patients with Carotid Artery Stenosis [PDF]

, 2018
: A stenosis of the internal carotid artery may cause 10-20% of all ischemic strokes. Duplex ultrasound is the diagnostic cornerstone, and CT angiography or MR angiography may be used to confirm the severity of the stenosis or prior to revascularization.

Antivitamin K drugs in stroke prevention. [PDF]

, 2013
Among the different subtypes of ischaemic strokes, almost 20 % are of cardiac origin. Different are the causes of cardioembolic stroke, but the most common is the atrial fibrillation, a supraventricular arrhythmia.

Added value of acute multimodal CT-based imaging (MCTI) : a comprehensive analysis [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: MCTI is used to assess acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.We postulated that use of MCTI improves patient outcome regardingindependence and mortality.Methods: From the ASTRAL registry, all patients with an AIS and a non-contrast-CT (NCCT),
