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.

After Stroke, Women and Men Significantly More Likely to Have a Cardiac Event

So you described a problem but offered no solution, either to prevent the event or to analyze the likelihood of occurrence. Should a coronary angiogram be done? Aggressive removal of plaque?  Stents?

After Stroke, Women and Men Significantly More Likely to Have a Cardiac Event

Both women and men are significantly more likely to have a myocardial infarction (MI) or another major cardiovascular event within 30 days of having a stroke, according to a study published in Stroke.

The study demonstrated for the first time that in people with no underlying heart disease, after a stroke, they were more than 20 times more likely than those who didn’t have a stroke (23-fold in women and 25-fold in men) to have a first-in-life major adverse cardiovascular event.

This risk decreased after 30 days, but even 1 year after a stroke, men and women both still had twice the risk of a major cardiac event than those who didn’t have a stroke.

For the study, Luciano Sposato, University of Western Ontario’s Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, London, Ontario, and colleagues examined data for more than 90,000 adults aged older than 65 years in Ontario with no pre-existing clinical diagnosis of heart disease. The researchers examined the incidence of cardiac events in 2 groups -- a group of just over 20,000 that had a stroke and a group of approximately 70,000 individuals without stroke but with similar vascular risk factors, comorbidities, and demographic characteristics.

The researchers pointed out that the connection between cardiovascular events and stroke has often been believed to be the result of shared risk factors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes or smoking. However, in the current study there was the same proportion of these risk factors in the stroke group and in the non-stroke group.

“This shows that after taking risk factors into consideration, having experienced a recent stroke was independently associated with the incidence of major adverse cardiac events,” said Dr. Sposato. “This leads us to believe that there are underlying mechanisms linked to stroke that may be causing heart disease.”

He hopes this information will inform clinical practice and encourage healthcare providers to watch for cardiovascular symptoms(Hell, a dog can watch for cardiovascular symptoms, barking when they fall to the floor.) in patients who recently had strokes.

“My hope is that neurologists, cardiologists, and scientists can work more closely together on this brain heart connection so that in the future we can understand and target the underlying mechanisms to prevent heart disease after stroke,” he said.
