Objective: To update the recommendations of the Spanish Society of Neurology on primary and secondary stroke prevention in patients with arterial hypertension. Development: We proposed several questions to identify practical issues for the management of blood pressure (BP) in stroke prevention, analysing the objectives of blood pressure control, which drugs are most appropriate in primary prevention, when antihypertensive treatment should be started after a stroke, what levels we should aim to achieve, and which drugs are most appropriate in secondary stroke prevention. We conducted a systematic review of the PubMed database and analysed the main clinical trials to address these questions and establish a series of recommendations. Conclusions: In primary stroke prevention, antihypertensive treatment should be started in patients with BP levels > 140/90 mmHg, with a target BP of < 130/80 mmHg. In secondary stroke prevention, we recommend starting antihypertensive treatment after the acute phase (first 24 hours), with a target BP of < 130/80 mmHg. The use of angiotensin-II receptor antagonists or diuretics alone or in combination with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors is preferable. Resumen: Objetivo: Actualizar las recomendaciones de la Sociedad Española de Neurología para la prevención de ictus, tanto primaria como secundaria, en pacientes con hipertensión arterial. Desarrollo: Se han planteado diferentes preguntas para identificar cuestiones prácticas para el manejo de la presión arterial (PA) en prevención de ictus, analizando cuál debe ser el objetivo de control de la presión arterial y cuáles son los fármacos más adecuados en prevención primaria, cuándo iniciar el tratamiento antihipertensivo después de un ictus, cuáles son las cifras que debemos alcanzar y qué fármacos son los más adecuados en prevención secundaria de ictus. Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática en Pubmed analizando los principales ensayos clínicos para dar respuesta a estas preguntas y se han elaborado unas recomendaciones. Conclusiones: En prevención primaria se recomienda iniciar tratamiento antihipertensivo con cifras de PA > 140/90 mmHg, con un objetivo de control de PA

Objective: To update the recommendations of the Spanish Society of Neurology regarding lifestyle interventions for stroke prevention. Development: We reviewed the most recent studies related to lifestyle and stroke risk, including randomised clinical trials, population studies, and meta-analyses. The risk of stroke associated with such lifestyle habits as smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, diet, obesity, and sedentary lifestyles was analysed, and the potential benefits for stroke prevention of modifying these habits were reviewed. We also reviewed stroke risk associated with exposure to air pollution. Based on the results obtained, we drafted recommendations addressing each of the lifestyle habits analysed. Conclusions: Lifestyle modification constitutes a cornerstone in the primary and secondary prevention of stroke. Abstinence or cessation of smoking, cessation of excessive alcohol consumption, avoidance of exposure to chronic stress, avoidance of overweight or obesity, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with olive oil and nuts, and regular exercise are essential measures in reducing the risk of stroke. We also recommend implementing policies to reduce air pollution. Resumen: Objetivo: Actualizar las recomendaciones de la Sociedad Española de Neurología relativas a la actuación sobre los hábitos de vida para la prevención del ictus. Desarrollo: Se ha realizado una revisión de los estudios más recientes relacionados con los hábitos de vida y el riesgo de ictus, incluyendo ensayos clínicos aleatorizados, estudios poblacionales y meta-análisis. Se ha analizado el riesgo de ictus asociado con determinados hábitos de vida como el tabaquismo, el consumo de alcohol, el estrés, la dieta, la obesidad y el sedentarismo, y se ha revisado el potencial beneficio que la modificación de esos hábitos de vida puede aportar en la prevención del ictus. Asimismo, se ha revisado el riesgo de ictus asociado a la exposición a la contaminación atmosférica. A partir de los resultados obtenidos se han redactado unas recomendaciones sobre cada uno de los hábitos de vida analizados. Conclusiones: La actuación sobre los hábitos de vida constituye una piedra angular en la prevención primaria y secundaria del ictus. La abstinencia o cese del hábito tabáquico, el cese del consumo excesivo de alcohol, evitar la exposición a estrés crónico, evitar el sobrepeso o la obesidad, seguir una dieta mediterránea suplementada con aceite de oliva y frutos secos, y la práctica regular de actividad física son medidas fundamentales para reducir el riesgo de sufrir un ictus. Además, se aconseja desarrollar políticas encaminadas a disminuir la contaminación atmosférica.

Resumen: Objetivo: Actualizar las recomendaciones de la Sociedad Española de Neurología para la prevención del ictus en pacientes con DM-2 o prediabetes, analizando las evidencias disponibles sobre el efecto del control metabólico y el posible beneficio de los antidiabéticos con beneficio vascular añadidos al tratamiento antidiabético estándar en la prevención de ictus. Desarrollo: Se han elaborado preguntas tipo PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) para identificar cuestiones prácticas para el manejo de pacientes con ictus y poder realizar recomendaciones específicas en cada una de ellas. Posteriormente se han realizado revisiones sistemáticas en Pubmed y se han seleccionado los ensayos clínicos aleatorizados que han evaluado ictus como variable independiente (principal o secundaria). Finalmente se ha elaborado metaanálisis para cada una de las preguntas PICO y se han redactado unas recomendaciones en respuesta a cada una de ellas. Conclusiones: Aunque no hay evidencia de que un mejor control metabólico reduzca el riesgo de ictus, algunas familias de antidiabéticos con beneficio vascular han mostrado reducción en el riesgo de ictus cuando se añaden al tratamiento convencional, tanto en el ámbito de prevención primaria en pacientes con DM-2 de alto riesgo vascular o con enfermedad vascular aterosclerosa establecida (agonistas GLP-1) como en prevención secundaria de ictus en pacientes con DM-2 y prediabetes (pioglitazona). Abstract: Objective: To update the Spanish Society of Neurology's guidelines for stroke prevention in patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, analysing the available evidence on the effect of metabolic control and the potential benefit of antidiabetic drugs with known vascular benefits in addition to conventional antidiabetic treatments in stroke prevention. Development: PICO-type questions (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) were developed to identify practical issues in the management of stroke patients and to establish specific recommendations for each of them. Subsequently, we conducted systematic reviews of the PubMed database and selected those randomised clinical trials evaluating stroke as an independent variable (primary or secondary). Finally, for each of the PICO questions we developed a meta-analysis to support the final recommendations. Conclusions: While there is no evidence that metabolic control reduces the risk of stroke, some families of antidiabetic drugs with vascular benefits have been shown to reduce these effects when added to conventional treatments, both in the field of primary prevention in patients presenting type 2 diabetes and high vascular risk or established atherosclerosis (GLP-1 agonists) and in secondary stroke prevention in patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes (pioglitazone).

Resumen: Introducción: El control de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular (CV) en la prevención secundaria tras un ictus isquémico es bajo, en parte debido a la falta de adherencia terapéutica. La polipíldora CV puede contribuir a la buena cumplimentación del adecuado tratamiento para la prevención cerebrovascular. El objetivo fue establecer cómo y en qué casos se debería administrar. Métodos: Un grupo de 8 neurólogos redactaron recomendaciones consensuadas mediante una técnica de brainstorming estructurado, basándose en su experiencia y en una revisión bibliográfica. Resultados: Los resultados atienden a la opinión de los expertos. El uso de la polipíldora CV tiene ventajas para pacientes, profesionales sanitarios y para el sistema de salud. Las situaciones clínicas más adecuadas para su uso son el ictus aterotrombótico, el lacunar, el asociado a deterioro cognitivo, el criptogénico con factores de riesgo CV y la enfermedad cerebrovascular silente. Su uso preferente incluye la sospecha de mal cumplimiento, a los pacientes polimedicados, ancianos, polivasculares o con alta carga aterotrombótica, jóvenes activos laboralmente y pacientes con preferencias por la polipíldora CV. Las opciones de administración incluyen el paso de fármacos individuales a la polipíldora CV, el inicio directo desde la fase aguda en casos particulares, a los pacientes con otra estatina o con un antagonista del receptor de la angiotensina ii, o de novo si hubiera sospecha de mala adherencia. No obstante, su uso implica realizar seguimiento del cumplimiento de los objetivos terapéuticos para ajustar la dosis. Conclusiones: Este documento es el primero en establecer recomendaciones de uso de la polipíldora CV en enfermedad cerebrovascular, aparte de sus ventajas sobre la adherencia. Abstract: Introduction: There is little control of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in secondary prevention after an ischaemic stroke, in part due to a lack of adherence to treatment. The CV polypill may contribute to proper treatment adherence, which is necessary for CV disease prevention. This study aimed to establish how and in what cases the CV polypill should be administered. Methods: A group of 8 neurologists drafted consensus recommendations using structured brainstorming and based on their experience and a literature review. Results: These recommendations are based on the opinion of the participating experts. The use of the CV polypill is beneficial for patients, healthcare professionals, and the health system. Its use is most appropriate for atherothrombotic stroke, lacunar stroke, stroke associated with cognitive impairment, cryptogenic stroke with CV risk factors, and silent cerebrovascular disease. It is the preferred treatment in cases of suspected poor adherence, polymedicated patients, elderly people, patients with polyvascular disease or severe atherothrombosis, young patients in active work, and patients who express a preference for the CV polypill. Administration options include switching from individual drugs to the CV polypill, starting treatment with the CV polypill in the acute phase in particular cases, use in patients receiving another statin or an angiotensin ii receptor antagonist, or de novo use if there is suspicion of poor adherence. Nevertheless, use of the CV polypill requires follow-up on the achievement of the therapeutic objectives to make dose adjustments. Conclusions: This document is the first to establish recommendations for the use of the CV polypill in cerebrovascular disease, beyond its advantages in terms of treatment adherence.

Introduction: Patients with stroke associated with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) are a specific group, and their disease has a considerable social and economic impact. The primary objective of the CONOCES study, the protocol of which is presented here, is to compare the costs of stroke in NVAF patients to those of patients without NVAF in Spanish stroke units from a societal perspective. Materials and methods: CONOCES is an epidemiological, observational, naturalistic, prospective, multicentre study of the cost of the illness in a sample of patients who have suffered a stroke and were admitted to a Spanish stroke unit. During a 12-month follow-up period, we record sociodemographic and clinical variables, score on the NIH stroke scale, level of disability, degree of functional dependency according to the modified Rankin scale, and use of healthcare resources (hospitalisation at the time of the first episode, readmissions, outpatient rehabilitation, orthotic and/or prosthetic material, medication for secondary prevention, medical check-ups, nursing care and formal social care services). Estimated monthly income, lost work productivity and health-related quality of life measured with the generic EQ-5D questionnaire are also recorded. We also administer a direct interview to the caregiver to determine loss of productivity, informal care, and caregiver burden. Results and conclusions: The CONOCES study will provide more in-depth information about the economic and clinical impact of stroke according to whether or not it is associated with NVAF. Resumen: Introducción: Los pacientes con ictus asociado a fibrilación auricular no valvular (FANV) constituyen un grupo específico con gran repercusión social y económica. El objetivo principal del estudio CONOCES, cuyo protocolo se presenta en ese trabajo, es comparar los costes del infarto cerebral en los pacientes con FANV frente a los pacientes sin FANV en el ámbito sanitario español ingresados en unidades de ictus, utilizando la perspectiva de la sociedad. Materiales y métodos: CONOCES es un estudio epidemiológico, observacional, naturalístico, prospectivo y multicéntrico de los costes de la enfermedad, en una muestra de pacientes que ha sufrido un ictus establecido e ingresado en una unidad de ictus, en el ámbito sanitario español. El periodo de seguimiento será de 12 meses. Se recogerán variables sociodemográficas, clínicas, la escala de ictus del NIH, el nivel de discapacidad, el grado de dependencia funcional mediante la escala de Rankin modificada y el consumo de recursos sanitarios (hospitalización en el primer episodio, reingresos, rehabilitación ambulatoria, material ortoprotésico, medicación para la prevención secundaria, consultas médicas, atención de enfermería, servicios sociales de atención formal). También se registrará la renta mensual estimada, la pérdida de productividad laboral y la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud con el cuestionario genérico EQ-5D. Por último se entrevistará directamente al cuidador para conocer la pérdida de productividad, los cuidados informales prestados y la sobrecarga del cuidador. Resultados y conclusiones: La aportación del estudio CONOCES permitirá profundizar en las diferencias del impacto tanto económico como clínico del ictus en función de su asociación con la FANV.

Neurology. Diseases of the nervous system ,RC346-429 - Abstract
Resumen: La trombosis aguda de la arteria basilar (TAB) ha sido considerada una catástrofe neurológica. Únicamente alrededor de un 20% de los pacientes alcanza un buen pronóstico con tratamiento convencional. Es importante establecer una sospecha diagnóstica precoz para evitar un retraso en el inicio del tratamiento. La evaluación diagnóstica incluye confirmación de la oclusión basilar y estimación de la viabilidad del tejido isquémico, y puede realizarse con resonancia magnética multiparamétrica o con angiotomografía computarizada combinada con sus imágenes fuente. La recanalización arterial precoz determina la posibilidad de alcanzar un buen pronóstico; sin embargo, se desconoce cuál es el mejor tratamiento de la TAB. No se ha demostrado que la trombólisis intraarterial sea superior a la intravenosa, de modo que en ausencia de contraindicaciones debe iniciarse cuanto antes la trombólisis intravenosa, que puede ser el tratamiento principal si no se cuenta con acceso al neurointervencionismo. Recientemente se han notificado tasas excelentes de buen pronóstico (50% de independencia funcional) empleando estrategias escalonadas de combinación de varias modalidades terapéuticas (trombólisis intravenosa ultraprecoz seguida de trombectomía mecánica endovascular de rescate). Estos resultados representan una esperanza para pacientes y neurólogos y suponen un reclamo para continuar innovando e investigando en este campo. Abstract: Acute basilar artery thrombosis (ABT) has been largely considered a neurological catastrophe. With conventional treatment, only around 20% of patients achieve functional independence. An early presumptive diagnosis is essential to avoid treatment delay. Either multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography angiography source images may represent valid non-invasive tools to confirm ABT and evaluate ischemic tissue viability.The main determinant of ABT outcome is early recanalization but the most effective therapeutic option remains to be clarified. The BASICS prospective registry showed no superiority of intra-arterial over intravenous thrombolysis. Therefore, in the absence of contraindications, intravenous thrombolysis should be started as soon as possible and can be used as the main therapy when interventional procedures are not available. However, recent case series have reported high rates of functional independence (50%) after staged escalation therapy (ultra-early intravenous thrombolysis followed by on-demand endovascular mechanical thrombectomy). These results represent a hope for patients and neurologists and reinforce the need for innovation and research in this field.

Resumen: Introducción: Los factores de riesgo vascular (FRV) se han relacionado con déficit cognitivos e incremento del riesgo de demencia. De hecho, el deterioro cognitivo es considerado como una de las primeras manifestaciones de enfermedad cerebrovascular. En nuestro país se ha registrado una elevada prevalencia de FRV junto a una incidencia de ictus de las más bajas de Europa. Éste es el primer estudio con población española que investiga la relación entre los FRV y el rendimiento cognitivo en la edad adulta. Métodos: Se ha realizado evaluación neuropsicológica a 90 personas de 50-65 años de edad con riesgo cardiovascular bajo, leve y moderado, sin historia de enfermedad cardiovascular. Se les administró una batería de test sensible a funciones ejecutivas, atencionales, mnésicas, visuoconstuctivas y de velocidad/coordinación visuomotriz. Se han hecho análisis de correlación y comparación entre grupos para estudiar la relación entre los FRV y las diferentes funciones cognitivas. Resultados: Se observó una relación estadísticamente significativa entre un mayor riesgo vascular y un peor rendimiento en funciones visuoconstructivas y en velocidad/coordinación visuomotriz. Además, el grupo de riesgo moderado presentó un rendimiento significativamente inferior respecto al de riesgo bajo en funciones visuoconstructivas. Tras covariar por edad, sexo y años de escolaridad los FRV únicamente se relacionaron con velocidad/coordinación visuomotriz. Conclusiones: Los FRV en personas de mediana edad están relacionados con disminución del rendimiento en dos funciones cognitivas. La afectación es leve y tiende a evidenciarse en personas con un riesgo moderado. Abstract: Introduction: Vascular risk factors (VRF) have been related to cognitive deficits and an increased risk of dementia. Cognitive impairment is considered to be one of the earliest manifestations of cerebrovascular disease. In Spain there is a high prevalence of VRF, but also one of the lowest incidences of cerebrovascular disease in Europe. This is the first study that investigates the relationship between VRF and cognition in a Spanish sample. Methods: A total of 90 people aged between 50-65 years with a low-to-moderate cardiovascular risk underwent a neuropsychological evaluation. None of them had a history of cardiovascular disease. The battery included tests assessing executive, attentional, mnesic, visuospatial and motor-speed/coordination functions. We used correlation and inter-groups comparison to relate VRF to multiple cognitive domains24. Results: Higher stroke risk was significantly related to a lowered profile in visuo-constructive functions and motor-speed/coordination. Moreover, the group with moderate cardiovascular risk showed a lower performance in visuoconstructive functions compared to the low-risk group. After statistical adjustment for age, sex and years of scholarship VRF were only related to motor-speed/coordination. Conclusions: In healthy, middle-aged adults, VRF are related with impairment in two cognitive domains. This effect is slight and tends to appear in people with moderate cardiovascular risk.

Introduction: Vascular risk factors (VRF) have been related to cognitive deficits and an increased risk of dementia. Cognitive impairment is considered to be one of the earliest manifestations of cerebrovascular disease. In Spain there is a high prevalence of VRF, but also one of the lowest incidences of cerebrovascular disease in Europe. This is the first study that investigates the relationship between VRF and cognition in a Spanish sample. Methods: A total of 90 people aged between 50–65 years with a low-to-moderate cardiovascular risk underwent a neuropsychological evaluation. None of them had a history of cardiovascular disease. The battery included tests assessing executive, attentional, mnesic, visuospatial and motor-speed/coordination functions. We used correlation and inter-groups comparison to relate VRF to multiple cognitive domains24. Results: Higher stroke risk was significantly related to a lowered profile in visuo-constructive functions and motor-speed/coordination. Moreover, the group with moderate cardiovascular risk showed a lower performance in visuoconstructive functions compared to the low-risk group. After statistical adjustment for age, sex and years of scholarship VRF were only related to motor-speed/coordination. Conclusions: In healthy, middle-aged adults, VRF are related with impairment in two cognitive domains. This effect is slight and tends to appear in people with moderate cardiovascular risk. Resumen: Introducción: Los factores de riesgo vascular (FRV) se han relacionado con déficit cognitivos e incremento del riesgo de demencia. De hecho, el deterioro cognitivo es considerado como una de las primeras manifestaciones de enfermedad cerebrovascular. En nuestro país se ha registrado una elevada prevalencia de FRV junto a una incidencia de ictus de las más bajas de Europa. Éste es el primer estudio con población española que investiga la relación entre los FRV y el rendimiento cognitivo en la edad adulta. Métodos: Se ha realizado evaluación neuropsicológica a 90 personas de 50–65 años de edad con riesgo cardiovascular bajo, leve y moderado, sin historia de enfermedad cardiovascular. Se les administró una batería de test sensible a funciones ejecutivas, atencionales, mnésicas, visuoconstructivas y de velocidad/coordinación visuomotriz. Se han hecho análisis de correlación y comparación entre grupos para estudiar la relación entre los FRV y las diferentes funciones cognitivas. Resultados: Se observó una relación estadísticamente significativa entre un mayor riesgo vascular y un peor rendimiento en funciones visuoconstructivas y en velocidad/coordinación visuomotriz. Además, el grupo de riesgo moderado presentó un rendimiento significativamente inferior respecto al de riesgo bajo en funciones visuoconstructivas. Tras covariar por edad, sexo y años de escolaridad los FRV únicamente se relacionaron con velocidad/coordinación visuomotriz. Conclusiones: Los FRV en personas de mediana edad están relacionados con disminución del rendimiento en dos funciones cognitivas. La afectación es leve y tiende a evidenciarse en personas con un riesgo moderado.

There is an extending use of percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) as therapy for PFO-associated cryptogenic strokes. The aim of our study was to investigate the clinical practice of percutaneous closure of PFO and to analyse the variables for decision-making on the selection of patients for this procedure.A prospective observational multicentric survey was conducted using all the cases of cryptogenic stroke/transient ischaemic attack associated with PFO recorded in the NORDICTUS hospital registry during the period 2018-2021. Clinical data, radiological patterns, echocardiogram data and factors related to PFO-associated stroke (thromboembolic disease and paradoxical embolism criteria) were recorded. The indication for closure was analysed according to age (≤/60 years) and the characteristics of the PFO.In the group ≤ 60 years (n = 488), 143 patients (29.3%) underwent PFO closure. The most influential variables for this therapy were detection of a high-risk PFO (OR 4.11; IC 2.6-6.5, P .001), criteria for paradoxical embolism (OR 2.61; IC 1.28-5.28; P = .008) and previous use of antithrombotics (OR 2.67; IC 1.38-5.18; P = .009). In the60 years group (n = 124), 24 patients had PFO closure (19%). The variables related to this option were history of pulmonary thromboembolism, predisposition to thromboembolic disease, paradoxical embolism criteria, and high-risk PFO.The detection of a high-risk PFO (large shunt, shunt with associated aneurysm) is the main criterion for a percutaneous closure-based therapy. Other conditions to consider in the eligibility of patients are the history of thromboembolic disease, paradoxical embolism criteria or the previous use of antithrombotics.

Summary Introduction. Patients who have suffered a transient ischemic attack (TIA) have a high risk of undergoing a severe vascular event. Most of them do not receive early attention and cannot benefit from an adequate diagnosis and treatment. Aims. The aim of this study is to identify the clinical factors that predict the appearance of a new vascular event in these patients. Patients and methods. We conducted a prospective study of 104 TIA patients, who had been given attention during the first 24 hours after the onset of symptoms, for a median follow-up time of 12.6 months. Results. The incidence rates of strokes, ischemic heart disease, peripheral arteriopathy and death were 13, 6, 3 and 8%, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified the following aspects as independent predictors of new strokes: an age above 73 odds ratio (OR) 4.46 (CI 95%, 1.15 17.38) and an atherothrombotic aetiology OR 4.36 (CI 95%, 1.44-13.18); and episodes of ischemic heart disease, a history of suffering from such heart disease OR 30.65 (CI 95%, 2.94 319.17) and taking oral antidiabetic drugs OR 31.23 (CI 95%, 2.65-368.74). Leukocytosis OR 11.21 (CI 95%, 1.25-100.39) is linked to the deaths caused by vascular disorders, whereas an atherothrombotic aetiology OR 3.83 (CI 95%, 1.31-11.20) and being male OR 3.44 (CI 95%, 1.02-11.60) were seen to be predictors of the appearance of any vascular event. Conclusions. Our findings showed that the risk of suffering severe vascular events after a TIA becomes higher. There are a number of useful clinical variables (age above 73, atherothrombotic aetiology, being male, taking oral antidiabetic drugs and leukocytosis) for identifying the patients at the highest risk.

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is often paroxysmal and asymptomatic, and yet associated with a high risk of stroke. Finding AF after an ischemic cerebral event needs prescription of oral anticoagulants to reduce the risk of stroke recurrence. A 24-hour ECG monitoring has poor sensitivity for detection of paroxysmal AF (PAF) but the optimum duration of ECG monitoring is not known. Study: We hypothesized that asymptomatic PAF may be an under-recognized mechanism for cryptogenic ischemic stroke. So that, ECG monitoring by an implantable subcutaneous Holter and remote transmission may find episodes of PAF in patients with non-lacunar cryptogenic ischemic stroke. Inclusion criteria were sinus rhythm on 12-lead ECG on admission, no evidence of PAF in a 24 h ECG monitoring and freedom of structural heart disease. Embolism was further suspected by transcranial Duplex ultrasound and/or neuroimaging features. Results: One hundred and one patients have been followed up for a median 262 days (IQR: 119-471). Mean age was 67±13 years and 46% were male. Cardiovascular risk factors were: hypertension (56%), dislipidemia (32%), diabetes (18%) and smoking habit (37%). Median CHA2DS2-VASc Score was 2.5 (IQR: 1-4). Twenty-seven patients (27%) were previously on antiplatelet agent treatment. PAF (lasting more than 2 minutes) was present in 29 patients (28.7%). The first PAF episode was detected after 131 days (IQR: 50-240) of remote monitoring. PAF episodes were mainly at night in 9 patients, longer than 1 hour in 11 patients and the heart rate was below 100 bpm in 9 patients. The table shows the different profile of patients with PAF vs PAF free patients. View this table: Profile of patients with PAF vs PAF free patients Conclusions: In patients with ischemic cryptogenic stroke long ECG monitoring by an implantable subcutaneous Holter and remote transmission detects a significant rate of asymptomatic PAF. The actual pathological relevance of this finding is still unknown, so that wider controlled studies may be appropriate.

- Abstract
Background: The use of thrombectomy in patients with acute stroke and a large infarct of unrestricted size has not been well studied., Methods: We assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, patients with proximal cerebral vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and a large infarct (as defined by an Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomographic Score of ≤5; values range from 0 to 10) detected on magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography within 6.5 hours after symptom onset to undergo endovascular thrombectomy and receive medical care (thrombectomy group) or to receive medical care alone (control group). The primary outcome was the score on the modified Rankin scale at 90 days (scores range from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater disability). The primary safety outcome was death from any cause at 90 days, and an ancillary safety outcome was symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage., Results: A total of 333 patients were assigned to either the thrombectomy group (166 patients) or the control group (167 patients); 9 were excluded from the analysis because of consent withdrawal or legal reasons. The trial was stopped early because results of similar trials favored thrombectomy. Approximately 35% of the patients received thrombolysis therapy. The median modified Rankin scale score at 90 days was 4 in the thrombectomy group and 6 in the control group (generalized odds ratio, 1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29 to 2.06; P<0.001). Death from any cause at 90 days occurred in 36.1% of the patients in the thrombectomy group and in 55.5% of those in the control group (adjusted relative risk, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.50 to 0.84), and the percentage of patients with symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was 9.6% and 5.7%, respectively (adjusted relative risk, 1.73; 95% CI, 0.78 to 4.68). Eleven procedure-related complications occurred in the thrombectomy group., Conclusions: In patients with acute stroke and a large infarct of unrestricted size, thrombectomy plus medical care resulted in better functional outcomes and lower mortality than medical care alone but led to a higher incidence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage.
