Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of heart attacks, strokes and peripheral vascular disease, is one of the major killers in the world. By 2020 WHO statistics indicate that it will be the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in both the industrialised world and the underdeveloped world. The disease develops slowly over many years in the innermost layer of large and medium-sized arteries (Fig. 1) (Scott, 1995; Ross, 1999; Naumova and Scott, 2000; Glass and Witztum, 2001; Libby, 2001). It does not usually become manifest before the

Risk Factors for Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke address the relationship of a wide variety of vascular risk factors in the spectrum of cerebrovascular diseases. An international group of professionals the forefront of research and education, provide their expertise about environmental and genetic determinants for cerebrovascular disease and stroke. The authors aim to provide information on developments of genetic, environmental and lifestyle-related risk factors of various subtypes of stroke, and MRI-markers of cerebrovascular disease. One in two men, and one in

Heart disease and strokes are currently the leading cause of death in all developed countries and in most developing countries, resulting in one third of all deaths globally in 2003. This publication explores a range of issues relating to this increasingly urgent global health problem using text, colour charts, maps and graphics. Topics covered include: different types of cardiovascular diseases, including rheumatic heart disease; key risk factors including smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, high cholesterol levels and diabetes; risks factors relating to

Primary care physicians are the first to diagnose transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs), and are the doctors who can undertake a considerable amount of stroke prevention treatment. This book fills the primary care physician’s need for a short clear text explaining how to accurately diagnose a TIA, determine what investigations are indicated and how and when to intervene to reduce the risk of stroke. Short chapters are written in point form with clear diagrams and figures, each chapter written by

Objective: To determine whether TIA or ischemic stroke patients with co-existing cardiovascular disease (i.e. history of coronary or peripheral artery disease) might benefit from more intensive secondary prevention to reduce risk of recurrent ischemic events.Methods: In a population-based study in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom (Oxford Vascular Study), we studied consecutive patients with TIA or ischemic stroke from 2002 to 2014. Patients were treated according to current secondary prevention guidelines and we determined risks of coronary events, recurrent ischemic stroke, and major

The second edition of this work continues to address the intimate pathophysiologic relationship between hypertension and stroke. The editors and authors clearly and concisely synthesize our developing knowledge of this relationship and place epidemiologic and physiologic information into a practical clinical context. Comprehensive chapters present the evidence supporting strategies for stroke prevention and care, including blood pressure lowering therapies, anti-coagulation, and management of other cerebrovascular risk factors. In addition to prescriptive measures for first stroke prevention, the book illuminates current

Every year, more than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke.About 610,000 of these are first or new strokes.About 185,00 strokes-nearly one of four-are in people who have had a previous stroke.About 87% of all strokes are ischemic strokes, when blood flow to the brain is blocked.Americans suffer 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes each year. Cardiovascular disease-including heart disease and stroke-is the leading cause of death in the United States. Every day, 2,200 people die from cardiovascular diseases-that's nearly 800,000

This volume is a collection of the most significant contributions to the 4th International Symposium on MULTIPLE RISK FACTORS IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: STRATEGIES OF PREVENTION OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE, CARDIAC F AlLURE, AND STROKE held in Washington, D. C. in April 1997. The meeting focused on the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and their interactions. The need for this symposium is based on the epidemiological, clinical, and biological evidence that individuals from industrialized countries often possess two or more risk factors

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and most westernized nations. Both CVDs and their risk factors confer substantial risk for stroke and dementia, but are also associated with more subtle changes in brain structure and function and cognitive performance prior to such devastating clinical outcomes. It has been suggested that there exists a continuum of brain abnormalities and cognitive difficulties associated with increasingly severe manifestations of cardiovascular risk factors and diseases
