There is significant overlap between knowledge and its clinical application in stroke and thrombosis & vascular medicine. Formal integration of training is, however, not standard. After the hyperacute phase of management, personalized medical decisions are often needed regarding antithrombotics and anticoagulants that leverage clinical practice parameters from both disciplines with a unique emphasis on minimizing neurologic treatment complications. We completed an ad hoc survey of adult thrombosis fellowships at several North American centers. We discovered that direct integration of training programs is not prevalent, suggesting a role for more deliberate integration of training programs. We provide a framework and resources for consideration that directly improve, by design, integrated clinical experiences during training, harnessing the strengths in both stroke and thrombosis programs.

[Biological essence of blood stasis-heat syndrome in ischemic stroke and current research status of traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment based on thromboinflammation reaction].

Blood stasis-heat syndrome is one of the common syndromes of ischemic stroke, which is manifested as syndromes of blood stasis and heat during the pathological progression of patients with ischemic stroke, but there is a lack of systematic research on its biological essence. Thromboinflammation reaction is a newly proposed pathological mechanism highly associated with thrombosis and inflammatory reaction, and it refers to the fact that under the mediation of von Willebrand factor(vWF) and the kallikrein-kinin system, thrombosis and inflammatory reaction interact with each other. Activation of T cells and neutrophils further aggravates thrombosis and worsens the pathological progression of ischemic stroke.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist, but the impact of clinical phenotypes of CAD on outcomes in AF patients in the non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant drugs (NOACs) era is less well understood.
Methods: This was a post-hoc of the GLORIA-AF registry, a global, multicenter, prospective AF registry study. Patients were divided into three groups: prior history of myocardial infarction (MI)/unstable angina group (Group 1); stable angina group (Group 2); and a control group without stable angina or history of MI/unstable angina.
Arterial Input Function Dispersal on Acute Brain CT Perfusion Scan in Patients With Acute Stroke and an Intracardiac Thrombus.
Neurology
February 2025
Department of Neurology, John Hunter Hospital, Newcastle, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperacute cardiac CT is more effective than transthoracic echocardiography in detecting intracardiac thrombus, but its routine use is limited due to costs and risks.
- A study of 1,136 ischemic stroke or TIA patients found that longer arterial input function (AIF) dispersal times correlate with the presence of thrombus and worse outcomes, with a specific cutoff of 33 seconds indicating higher risk.
- The findings support using AIF dispersal measurements to help identify patients who may benefit from cardiac imaging, potentially optimizing resource use in stroke management.
Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure using a modified single-operator-technician approach under deep sedation: A single-center experience.
Heart Rhythm O2

Department of Electrophysiology, North Mississippi Medical Center, Tupelo, Mississippi.
Background: Historically, percutaneous transcatheter left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been performed under general anesthesia (GA) with transesophageal echocardiographic images obtained by a noninvasive cardiologist and usually requires an overnight hospital stay. Alternatively, we present our single-center experience performing LAACs under deep sedation (DS), employing an echocardiographic technician instead of a noninvasive cardiologist, and expediting same-day discharge. Mid- to long-term outcomes were also evaluated with follow-up imaging at a 45-day visit.

Heart Rhythm O2

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, Jichi Medical University School of Medicine, Shimotsuke, Japan.
Background: It remains unclear whether the newly adopted high-power, short-duration (HP-SD) setting in ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) impacts periprocedural thrombotic markers or silent stroke (SS) onset.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical impact of HP-SD setting ablation on changes in periprocedural thrombotic markers and the onset of SS.
Methods: We enrolled 101 AF patients: the HP-SD group (n = 67) using 50 W and the conventional ablation group (n = 34) using 30 to 40 W.
