Asundexian does not reduce the risk of recurrent strokes after non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke
1. The composite of MRI-detected brain infarcts and symptomatic ischemic stroke was comparable across different doses of asundexian and placebo. ...
Reduced bleeding risk with asundexian compared to apixaban in patients with atrial fibrillation
1. Asundexian 50 mg resulted in a lower rate of bleeding compared to apixaban 5 mg twice daily. 2. The ...
Risk of subsequent stroke following Transient Ischemic Attack varies based on receipt of follow-up care
1. A systematic review and meta-analysis including data from more than 200,000 patients having had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) ...
Drug-eluting stents reduced in-stent restenosis risk for high-grade intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis lesions compared to bare-metal stents
1. This randomized controlled trial demonstrated that drug-eluting stents carried a significantly decreased risk of intracranial stenting restenosis versus bare-metal ...
Combination-drug therapy and earlier detection recommended to improve outcomes in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
1. A significantly greater proportion of patients receiving 2-3 lipid lowering medications achieved LDL-cholesterol targets compared to those receiving monotherapy. ...
Screening for asymptomatic atrial fibrillation does not reduce risk of stroke despite higher detection rates
1. There was a nonsignificant reduction (p=0.11) in the incidence of stroke or systemic arterial embolism in the ILR group ...
Systematic screening for atrial fibrillation may reduce morbidity and mortality in older patients
1. There were significantly fewer events in the intervention group (5.45 per 100 years) compared to control (5.68 per 100 ...
Fixed-dose combination treatment with aspirin may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
1. Risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and revascularization was lower in the fixed-dose combination pill group compared to ...
Carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy show similar efficacy for stroke prevention in high-risk carotid artery stenosis
