Deans' stroke musings: Researchers develop AI technology capable of predicting cardiovascular events for stroke patients

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.

Researchers develop AI technology capable of predicting cardiovascular events for stroke patients

This is actually totally useless unless you have the means to prevent these CVD events. 'Sorry, you're going to have a CVD event, but we know nothing on how to prevent it!'

SEOUL -- Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence-based solution capable of predicting the risk and date of cardiovascular events, which can cause serious damage to the heart muscle, in patients who previously had a stroke. Cardiovascular events, which result in physical disability and even death, are known to take place after suffering from a severe brain attack.

A stroke is a severe brain disease that happens when the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain are blocked. According to data released by the World Stroke Organization (WSO), more than 110 million people have experienced the disease. The brain attack can be caused by excessive tobacco use, unhealthy diet, depression, and obesity. Government data showed that more than 21,000 patients died of a stroke in South Korea in 2020.

The brain disease has a high rate of mortality, after-effects, and a high possibility of recurrence. The major cause of death after acute ischemic stroke is mainly because of cardiovascular events. It's been difficult to predict the risk of each patient's cardiovascular events with acute ischemic stroke.

A Chonnam National University research team led by neurologist Choi Kang-ho and nucleaologist Kim Ja-hae developed a smart solution that predicts various outcomes for stroke patients by analyzing clinical data and brain images through deep learning. The AI solution predicts whether patients will experience cardiovascular disorders within a year.

"Deep learning models will allow us to develop more accurate and tailored prognostic prediction systems that outperform traditional models," the research team said in a research paper published on January 17 on the website of the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal.
