A 66-year-old Turkish male patient admitted to our emergency department with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) is described. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and an ECG sinus rhythm. Transesophageal echocardiography detected severe spontaneous echocontrast (SEC) in the left atrial (LA) cavity with apical hypertrophy.

Antiseizure Medications and Cardiovascular Events in Older People With Epilepsy in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
JAMA Neurol
November 2024
Centre de Recherche du Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal, Montréal, Québec, Canada.
Importance: How epilepsy may promote cardiovascular disease remains poorly understood.
Objective: To estimate the odds of new-onset cardiovascular events (CVEs) over 6 years in older people with vs without epilepsy, exploring how enzyme-inducing antiseizure medications (EIASMs) and traditional cardiovascular risk factors mediate these odds.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a prospective cohort study using the comprehensive cohort of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), with 6 years of follow-up (2015-2021, analysis performed in December 2023).
Chest pain after elective percutaneous coronary intervention as trigger of takotsubo syndrome-a case report.

Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction, often triggered by emotional or physical stress. It usually presents with clinical features similar to acute coronary syndrome, making its occurrence following elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) challenging to diagnose and treat.
Case Summary: A 67-year-old man with ischaemic heart disease and recurrent angina underwent elective PCI of the right coronary artery.
Mobile Health delivered physical activity after mild stroke or transient ischaemic attack. Is it feasible and acceptable?
Int J Stroke
January 2025
Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Division of Physiotherapy, Karolinska Institutet, 23100, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background And Aims: Physical activity is a key component of secondary stroke prevention. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions show promise for enhancing post-stroke physical activity, but most studies have combined mHealth with onsite services. This study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a fully digitalised mHealth intervention for physical activity among individuals post stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in Sweden.

Background: The potential for early white matter hyperintensities(WMH) regression and associated contributory factors remains uncertain. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether WMH regress at early time of three months after minor ischemic stroke (MIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA), while also identifying factors that may influence this outcome.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospective subcohort from the CHANCE trial comprising individuals with MIS and TIA was conducted.
High-Fat Diet, Epigenetics, and Atherosclerosis: A Narrative Review.
Nutrients
December 2024
Department of Translational Research, Western University of Health Sciences, Pomona, CA 91766, USA.
Background/objectives: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease developing and progressing in the presence of risk factors including hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, and chronic inflammation, among others. Atherosclerosis commonly precipitates as ischemic events, transient ischemic attacks, and myocardial infarction. Saturated fatty acids are risk factors; however, their association with epigenetics in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis is not clearly understood.
