Deans' stroke musings: Daily coffee intake may improve cardiac function, lower risk for mortality, stroke

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.

Daily coffee intake may improve cardiac function, lower risk for mortality, stroke

Well I'm doing coffee for Parkinsons and dementia prevention.

Daily coffee intake may improve cardiac function, lower risk for mortality, stroke

Daily coffee consumption may improve cardiac function and up to three cups per day was associated with lower risk for CV and all-cause death and stroke, according to data presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress.

To understand the CV impact of daily coffee consumption at varying volumes, Judit Simon, MD, researcher and PhD candidate at Heart and Vascular Centre at Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary, and colleagues included 468,629 UK Biobank participants with no known heart disease (mean age, 56 years; 56% women; median follow-up, 11 years). Individuals were stratified based on levels of daily coffee consumption: none (22.1%), light to moderate (0.5 to 3 cups per day, 58.4%) and high (> 3 cups per day, 19.5%). A total of 30,650 participants underwent cardiac MRI for the assessment of cardiac structure and function.

During a press conference, Simon said after adjustment for all potential CV risk factors, light to moderate coffee consumption was associated with lower risk for all-cause death (HR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.83-0.92; P < .001), CV death (HR = 0.83; 95% CI, 0.74-0.94; P = .006) and incident stroke (HR = 0.79; 95% CI, 0.63-0.99; P = .037) compared with no daily intake of coffee.

Moreover, the risk for all-cause and CV death and stroke was not higher in the high coffee intake group compared with the no intake group.

Among the subgroup who underwent cardiac MRI, researchers observed that any coffee consumption was associated with greater left and right ventricular volumes and increased LV mass compared with no coffee.

“Daily coffee consumption proved to be safe, as even more than three cups per day were not associated with adverse outcomes after a median follow-up of 11 years,” Simon said during the press conference.

“Our findings suggest that regular coffee consumption of up to three cups per day was associated with favorable cardiovascular outcomes, including lower risk of stroke, all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality,” Simon said. “The observed benefits might be partly explained by positive alterations in cardiac structure and function as assessed by standard cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.”
