SummaryThe aim of the investigation was to analyze the correlation between myocardial infarction and ischemic heart disease, on the one hand, and acute ischemic stroke (AIS), on the other hand. We studied 258 AIS patients (mean age 70.9±7.22 years, range 49-92 years) hospitalized in 2007-2013 in the First Clinic of Neurology, St. Marina University Hospital of Varna. The diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke was confirmed by Doppler sonography and computed tomography of the cerebral circulation. Data were statistically processed by variation and correlation analysis. Our results proved a relatively strong correlation between effort angina pectoris and ischemic heart disease (Pearson's coefficient: r=0.643) as well as a weak correlation between ischemic heart disease and myocardial infarction (Pearson's coefficient: r=0.243) among acute ischemic stroke patients. The well-known risk factors for these cardiovascular diseases such as obesity, tobacco smoking, low physical activity and alcohol abuse were common among the patients with acute ischemic stroke, too. In conclusion, both myocardial infarction and ischemic heart disease are strongly associated with the development of acute ischemic stroke. Such patients require strict and regular control by general practitioners. They should observe an appropriate diet and adhere to a healthy life-style.

Summary The objective of this study was to analyze the association between some cardiovascular diseases and acute ischemic stroke. A total of 258 acute ischemic stroke patients (mean age 70.59±7.22 years) were examined. The presence of eight cardiovascular diseases and pathological conditions was analyzed: arterial hypertension, hypertensive heart, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, effort angina pectoris, coronary atherosclerosis, and heart failure. Data were statistically processed by variation and correlation analysis. Most male and female patients presented with four accompanying cardiovascular diseases (27 or 20.93% and 31 or 24.03% of the cases, respectively). There were two groups of four variables each - with a relatively strong and a moderate, as well as with a weak correlation (r<0.4), to the presence of acute ischemic stroke in the corresponding patients. Ischemic heart disease was strongly associated with effort angina pectoris (r=0.667) and to a lesser extent - with coronary atherosclerosis (r=0.470), whereas myocardial infarction was associated with coronary atherosclerosis (r=0.604) and ischemic heart disease (r=0.378), respectively. Arterial hypertension was moderately related to hypertensive heart (r=0.300). In conclusion, there were relatively close associations between acute ischemic stroke and these heart diseases. These patients should strictly and regularly be followed up by general practitioners.

Stable Ischemic Heart Disease

Arterial thrombosis is a result of complex interaction between blood cells, soluble coagulation factors in plasma and vessel wall. Antiplatelet drugs do not always provide the necessary antithrombotic effect of sufficient strength, because their influence does not extend to all three factors involved in this process. Low doses of direct oral inhibitors of thrombin are able to potentiate antithrombotic effect of antiplatelet therapy. The combination of rivaroxaban in a dose of 2.5 mg and standard double antiplatelet therapy turned out to be the most promising for clinical use, since studies with dabigatran and apixaban at the II and III stages of the trials were found to be unsuccessful due to the unacceptably high frequency of bleeding. Studies of the combination of rivaroxaban at a dose of 2.5 mg and standard antiplatelet therapy conducted in previous years among patients with acute myocardial infarction showed a decrease in the frequency of complications of atherothrombosis associated with their ischemic nature, while at the same time there was a slight increase in hemorrhagic complications. In the COMPASS study the combination of rivaroxaban (2.5 mg) plus aspirin reduced the risk of the primary endpoint (myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, cardiovascular death) more significantly than aspirin alone in patients with stable ischemic heart disease and ischemic brain disease. The pathophysiological rationales for the use of low doses of rivaroxaban when added to dual antiplatelet therapy are considered, and the significance of recent studies in patients with acute coronary syndrome, stable ischemic heart disease and in the prevention of ischemic stroke is discussed.

The aim of this work was to compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and smoking habits smokingduring a 10-year period and to evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome and smoking habits, and ischemic heart disease among Kaunas men aged 45–64 years. Material and methods. In this study, we have used data from two epidemiological studies, which had been carried out according to the MONICA study protocol (359 men aged 45–64 years were enrolled in 1992–1993 and 408 men aged 45–64 years – in 2001–2002). The association between metabolic syndrome and smoking habits, and ischemic heart disease was established according to the data of 2001–2002 years. Ischemic heart disease was diagnosed based on the following criteria: previous myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, or ischemic changes in electrocardiogram. Metabolic syndrome was defined by Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria. Results. The prevalence of ischemic heart disease did not change among men aged 45–64 years during a 10-year period. During this period, the decreased prevalence of metabolic syndrome was observed; decreased rate of hyperglycemia, decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, increased rate of hypertriglyceridemia, and increased waist circumference were noted. During this period, the proportion of regular male smokers increased significantly. After the evaluation of association between and metabolic syndrome and smoking habits, and ischemic heart disease (according to the data of 2001–2002 years), it was determined that the highest rate of ischemic heart disease was among regular smokers with metabolic syndrome (32.3%), and the lowest rate of ischemic heart disease was noted among men who had never smoked and were without metabolic syndrome (11.6%) (OR=3.63; P=0.013). The highest rate of previous myocardial infarction and/or angina pectoris was determined among regular smokers with metabolic syndrome (19.4%), and the lowest rate of ischemic heart disease was determined among men who had never smoked and were without metabolic syndrome (3.6%) (OR=6.43; P=0.008). Conclusion. Combination of metabolic syndrome and smoking is significantly associated with ischemic heart disease among men aged 45–64 years.

Global Burden

Background: Ischemic heart disease is more prevalent than ischemic stroke in most countries, including the United States; however, recent data suggests that ischemic stroke may be more prevalent in some countries. We performed this study to identify the countries with an inverse ratio of ischemic stroke and ischemic heart disease and associated attributes. Methods: We analyzed the data using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) website; GBD Compare tool published by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), Seattle, Washington for the year 2017. We categorized individual 195 countries based on the ratio of ischemic stroke/ischemic heart disease and divided them into ≥1.0, 0,5-99, and <0.5. Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita for each country was calculated using data from Worldometers. Results: There were 51, 125, and 19 countries with the ratio of ischemic stroke/ischemic heart disease and divided them into ≤0.5, 0.5-0.99, and ≥1.0 respectively (see Table). The range of ratio was between 0.24 and 1.86. Countries with inverse ratio included China (1.86), North Korea (1.31), Guam (1.28), Taiwan (1.20), Marshall Islands (1.15), Timor-Leste (1.16), South Korea (1.13), Seychelles (1.11), Northern Mariana Islands (1.10), Cambodia (1.09), Federated States of Micronesia (1.08), American Samoa (1.07), Samoa (1.06), Kiribati (1.04), Solomon Islands (1.03), Fiji (1.02), Indonesia (1.02), Mauritius (1.01), and Vanuatu (1.00). Conclusions: Approximately 1 out of 10 countries have an inverse ratio of ischemic stroke / ischemic heart disease incidences. The inverse ratio is predominantly driven by a lower incidence of ischemic heart disease.

Meta Analyses

The goal of this study was to better depict the short-term risk of stroke and its associated factors among SARS-CoV-2 hospitalized patients. Data Source: This multicenter, multinational observational study includes hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 patients from North and South America (United States, Canada, and Brazil), Europe (Greece, Italy, Finland, and Turkey), Asia (Lebanon, Iran, and India), and Oceania (New Zealand). Main Outcomes and Measures: The outcome was the risk of subsequent stroke (ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral venous/sinus thrombosis). The counts and clinical characteristics including laboratory findings and imaging of the patients with and without a subsequent stroke were recorded according to a predefined study protocol. Data Extraction and Synthesis: Quality, risk of bias, and heterogeneity assessments were conducted according to ROBINS-E and Cochrane Q-test. The risk of subsequent stroke was estimated through meta-analyses with random effect models. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the associated factors with the outcome measure. The study was reported according to the STROBE, MOOSE, and EQUATOR guidelines. Results: We received data from 18,311 hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 patients from 77 tertiary centers in 46 regions of 11 countries until May 1 st , 2020. A total of 17,799 patients were included in meta-analyses. Among them, 156(0.9%) patients had a stroke—123(79%) ischemic stroke, 27(17%) intracerebral/subarachnoid hemorrhage, and 6(4%) cerebral sinus thrombosis. Subsequent stroke risks calculated with meta-analyses, under low to moderate heterogeneity, were 0.5% among all centers in all countries, and 0.7% among countries with higher health expenditures. The need for mechanical ventilation (OR: 1.9, 95% CI:1.1-3.5, p = 0.03) and the presence of ischemic heart disease (OR: 2.5, 95% CI:1.4-4.7, p =0·006) were predictive of stroke. Conclusion and Relevance: The results of this multi-national study on hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection indicated an overall stroke risk of 0.5% (pooled risk: 0.9%). The need for mechanical ventilation and the history of ischemic heart disease are the independent predictors of stroke among SARS-CoV-2 patients.

Magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K) are the major intracellular cations whose presence in the serum are low, but minor changes of those may show a remarkable change in the various body functions specially in the heart. The study was designed to find out the correlation between serum Mg and K in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), chronic ischemic heart disease (CIHD) and normal healthy volunteers. It was carried out over a period of 18 months in the Department of Biochemistry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) in collaboration with Department of Cardiology, Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital (SSMC & MH) and Atomic Energy Center, Dhaka. A total of 101 subjects were included in which 32 subjects were AMI, 34 CIHD and 35 normal healthy volunteers. Serum glucose and serum creatinine were estimated to exclude diabetes and renal dystrophies. Estimation of serum CK-MB and ECG tracing were done as diagnostic tools of AMI and to categories the subjects into various groups. Serum Mg was estimated by Atomic absorption spectrophotometer and serum K by Ion sensitive electrode. The present study shows that there is a strong positive correlation of serum Mg and K in AMI, CIHD and healthy control subjects (r = 0.566, p<0.01 level). So it is suggested to estimate and supplement both Mg and K in IHD patients for their better management. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmb.v3i2.13812 Bangladesh J Med Biochem 2010; 3(2): 50-56
