1. P-Wave Terminal Force in Lead V1 Predicts Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Acute Ischemic Stroke Detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in cryptogenic stroke is critical to selecting an antithrombotic therapy for preventing recurrent stroke. However, the predictor of PAF in patients with acute ischemic stroke is not well elucidated. P-wave terminal force in lead V1 (PTFV1) is a standard electrocardiogram marker of left atrial...
2. Comparison of Stroke Prediction Accuracy of ABCD2 and ABCD3-I in Patients with Transient Ischemic Attack: A Meta-Analysis A direct comparison of the stroke prediction utility of the ABCD2 and ABCD3-I scores has not been performed. Thus, we conducted a diagnostic meta-analysis and applied the results to a hypothetical cohort of 1000 patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) to assess the power of stroke prediction by ABCD2 and...
3. Urine-Specific Gravity-Based Hydration Prevents Stroke in Evolution in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Early neurological deterioration after ischemic stroke (stroke-in-evolution [SIE]) is associated with poorer outcomes. Previous studies have demonstrated a link between hydration status and the development of SIE. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that rehydration therapy, administered on the basis of urine-specific gravity (USG) findings, might reduce the development...
4. Prediction of Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage after Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke: The Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage Score Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) is common after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic strokes (AISs). Available predictive scoring systems were derived mostly in the Western countries. Read More......
