Blood vessels become stiffer with age, but a new study suggests that a Covid infection could accelerate this process, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, including stroke and heart attack.
People at risk of cardiovascular disease could be identified a decade before they have a heart attack or stroke, a new University of Dundee study has discovered.
A risky carotid artery operation may no longer be necessary for patients who suffer a stroke due to carotid artery narrowing, research suggests. Instead, medication-only treatment may also be viable.
Researchers have succeeded in mapping how blood vessels in the brain react after a stroke. This new insight can lead to more effective treatment and fewer complications for patients.
Researchers developed a new scanning method that combines light and ultrasound to non-invasively monitor cerebrovascular changes in the early stages of an ischemic stroke in real time.
The boom in interventional radiology procedures has enabled great strides in ischemic stroke management. But while a myriad of techniques are available, the challenge remains in choosing the most appropriate thrombectomy treatment on the spot, according to Jordi Blasco Andaluz, a neuroradiologist at Hospital Clinic Barcelona. The new ROSSETTI registry is designed to change this.
While thrombectomy to remove blood clots after a stroke is increasingly performed, new research suggests that it may not be needed in all cases.
Mobile stroke units can greatly reduce time-to-treatment. At this year's International Stroke Conference, Siemens Healthineers is showcasing its new mobile solution to support stroke diagnosis.
A new blood test that detects a specific brain protein may help doctors determine the type of a stroke faster and allow them to start safe treatment for people before they get to the hospital.
Helping the brain repair itself after a stroke: A new study based on unique tissue samples from Denmark's Brain Bank may pave the way for new treatments that support brain regeneration.
Researchers are developing a new in vitro model for stroke. If successful, this could significantly reduce reliance on animal models in stroke research by up to 1,000 animals each year across the UK.
Using a technique called field-cycling imaging (FCI) derived from MRI, researchers are able to detect signs of brain damage from stroke at ultra-low magnetic fields.
New research has linked having a cerebral stroke to lasting changes in the arteries in the abdomen. The study in animal models with hypertension could lead to new preventative strategies.
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT) is a type of stroke that typically affects women between 20 and 50. Researchers developed a way to predict which patients are at risk of epilepsy after a CVT.
Robots could help guide self-managed rehabilitation for stroke and brain injury survivors. A new project explores the potential of the technology for restoring upper limb mobility.
New research from Denmark explores a possible connection between endometriosis and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Details are presented at the ESC 2024 Congress.
Extensive and moderate, or short and intense? New research suggests which approach to physical exercise is more effective for improving fitness among people recovering after a stroke.
A new smartphone face-screening tool could help paramedics to identify stroke in seconds – much sooner and more accurately than is possible with current technologies.
In lab models of stroke, a research team showed that laser therapy improved blood flow in the brain and decreased stroke injury by stimulating the production of nitric oxide.
