Deans' stroke musings: Stroke incidence and survival in American Indians, blacks, and whites: The Strong Heart Study and Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Stroke incidence and survival in American Indians, blacks, and whites: The Strong Heart Study and Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study

Send these researchers back to the drawing board because there is no such thing as race as far as the body is concerned. Go back and find a separate reason for distinguishing them.

Stroke incidence and survival in American Indians, blacks, and whites: The Strong Heart Study and Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study

Journal of the American Heart Association — Muller CJ, et al. | June 17, 2019

By pooling data from two cardiovascular disease cohort studies, researchers examined American Indians (AIs; n=3,182,) aged 45 to 74 years at baseline (1988–1990) from the SHS (Strong Heart Study) and blacks (n=3,765) and whites (n=10,413) from the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) Study, aged 45 to 64 years at baseline (1987–1989) to compare stroke incidence and mortality in these populations. For AIs, blacks, and whites, the incident strokes reported were 282, 416, and 613, respectively. AIs had a lower incidence of stroke when compared to blacks, and a higher incidence when compared to whites; differences were larger for blacks and smaller for whites following covariate adjustment. AIs had higher poststroke mortality vs blacks and whites.
