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.

Associations between coffee, tea, and caffeine intake with coronary artery calcification and cardiovascular events

No idea if this could be similar for brain arteries. Ask your doctor what inversely means.

Associations between coffee, tea, and caffeine intake with coronary artery calcification and cardiovascular events


American Journal of Medicine, 09/19/2016
Miller PE, et al. – Researchers conducted this study to determine the relationship between coffee, tea, and caffeine intake with coronary artery calcification and cardiovascular events. This study concluded that moderate tea drinkers had a slower progression of coronary artery calcium and diminished risk of cardiovascular events.

Methods

  • 6,508 ethnically-diverse participants were examined with available coffee and tea data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.
  • Admission for each was classified as never, occasional (<1 cup/day), and regular (≥1 cup/day).
  • A coronary artery calcium progression ratio was derived from mixed effect regression models using loge(calcium score+1) as the outcome with coefficients exponentiated to reflect coronary artery calcium progression ratio vs. the reference.    
  • To assess the relationship between beverage intake and incident cardiovascular events, Cox proportional hazards analyses were used. 

Results

  • Researchers found that over a median follow-up of 5.3 years for coronary artery calcium and 11.1 years for cardiovascular events, participants who regularly drank tea (≥1 cup/day) had a slower progression of coronary artery calcium compared with never drinkers after multivariable adjustment.
  • This connected with a statistically significant lower incidence of cardiovascular events for ≥1 cup/day tea drinkers (adjusted HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.53-0.95).  
  •   Contrasted with never coffee drinkers, regular coffee intake (≥1 cup/day) was not statistically connected with coronary artery calcium progression or cardiovascular events (adjusted HR 0.97 [0.78, 1.20]).  
  • According to the findings obtained, caffeine intake was marginally inversely connected with coronary artery calcium progression.
