“…Four papers specifically showed a higher prevalence of FHS in patients with hemorrhagic stroke [ 98 - 101 ] and one study did not find this association [ 102 ]. Notably, in a head-to-head comparison, FHS was more common among survivors of ischemic stroke than hemorrhagic [ 103 ].…”

Purpose:The heritability of ischemic stroke is a complex mechanism, involving the contribution of genetic traits and environmental factors, which is why in everyday practice clinicians often rely on the broad term "family history of stroke", defined as the case of any first-degree relative who has had a stroke. The aim of this review is to update the available data regarding family history of stroke in primary and secondary stroke prevention by searching the electronic Scopus database for the phrase TITLE-ABS-KEY ("family history" AND "stroke"). Views: A total of 140 articles met the pre-specified criteria and were included in the review. The prevalence of family history of stroke ranged from 37% in stroke-free individuals to 52% in patients with ischemic stroke. In primary prevention, family history of stroke was associated with increased risk of stroke, transient ischemic attack, stroke risk factors and stroke-like symptoms. In patients with ischemic stroke, it was more often associated with small-and large-vessel disease, though not with a cardioembolic etiology. Family history of stroke did not influence long-term functional outcomes after rehabilitation. In young stroke victims, it was related to symptom severity and the risk of a second stroke. Conclusions: Consideration of family history of stroke in everyday practice may carry useful information both for primary care physicians and stroke neurologists.

“…While defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the sudden onset of focal neurological disturbance lasting over 24 hours [1], transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) denote brief episodes of neurological dysfunction without permanent cerebral infarction [2]. The age difference observed between the ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke groups was found to be statistically significant [3]. This underscores the necessity for implementing targeted public health interventions, particularly focused on the elderly population.…”

Background: Stroke, a leading cause of brain tissue damage, presents a significant health concern globally. Cryptogenic stroke (CS), with an unclear origin, poses diagnostic challenges, with the patent foramen ovale (PFO) implicated in some cases. This study aims to investigate PFO prevalence in North India among patients with cryptogenic stroke, addressing current research gaps. Objective: To assess PFO occurrence in patients with cryptogenic stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) using Echocardiography. Methods & Results: This preliminary study analyzed PFO prevalence in patients with CS and TIA from February 2020 to November 2021, involving 25 participants. Descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test were employed. Key findings include a mean age of 44.80±9.13 years, 64% men, and 36% women. Ischemic stroke accounted for 72% of cases, while TIA represented 28%. PFO prevalence was 44%, with no significant gender-PFO association. No correlations were found between stroke type and PFO presence, nor were comorbidities like hypertension and diabetes observed. Conclusion: The study highlights a clinically significant distribution of PFO presence but no notable association between stroke type and PFO presence. These findings contribute to understanding PFO's role in cryptogenic stroke and have implications for clinical practice.

“…1 In addition, impairment of the neurologic system by conditions such as stroke, TBI, PD, and SCI often results in disruption of normal HR, BP, and RRs either at rest or with exercise because of disruptions of autonomic regulation. 21,22,[33][34][35] Although it is established that VSA is an important part of physical therapy practice, there are no published studies that identify VSA patterns among neurologic PTs. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess VSA patterns among PTs who work with patients with neurologic conditions and to analyze whether demographic characteristics, such as entry-level degree, years of practice experience, APTA membership, or American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS) Board Certification, contribute to alterations in VSA practices among PTs.…”

Purpose:This study's purpose was to describe the vital sign assessment (VSA) practices of physical therapists (PTs) during evaluation and treatment of patients with neurologic conditions.Methods:A survey was distributed to clinicians from a clinical site database and the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy's list serve. Respondents included US licensed PTs who treat patients with neurologic conditions.Results:Usable surveys included 133 US PTs with 69.2% doctorally prepared and 79.7% American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) members. Although 58.6% of survey respondents indicated that VSA is an essential part of the PT evaluation, at evaluation, only 37.6% and 39.1% of respondents always take heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP), and only 8.3% of respondents always take respiratory rate (RR). During treatment, only 14.3% of respondents report taking HR or BP at each session, while only 5.3% always take RR. Board certification was correlated with an increased frequency of HR assessment (P = .0027) and BP (P = 0.038) at evaluation, while importance of VSA strongly correlated with increased assessment of HR (P = 0.000), BP (P = 0.000), and RR (P = 0.003) at evaluation and with HR (P = 0.000) and BP (0.000) during treatment.Conclusions:Although VSA by neurologic PTs is higher than other identified PT groups, it is still below-recommended assessment guidelines.
