Different immune cell populations influence the severity of cardiac inflammation after myocardial infarction (MI), which ...

For individuals with minor, moderate, or major stroke, the treatment effect of early versus late direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) initiation does not differ, according to a study published online May ...

Prehospital pulse-dose glucocorticoid treatment in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) does not reduce the final infarct size at 3 months but may improve acute outcomes ...

A lacunar stroke, also called a lacunar infarct, occurs when an artery that supplies blood to the deeper portions of the brain becomes blocked. Other types of strokes occur on the surface, or cortex, ...

Cardiogenic shock is characterized by depression of cardiac function that leads to low blood pressure, coronary ischemia, and further decreased cardiac contractility resulting in tissue hypoxemia. The ...

Watershed Infarction: Flair axial MRI scans. Note the large bright signal in the right basal ganglia and internal capsule. Although watershed infarcts are most often thought of as areas between two ...

Silent cerebral infarcts are the most common neurologic injury in children with sickle cell anemia and are associated with the recurrence of an infarct (stroke or silent cerebral infarct). We tested ...

Multi-infarct dementia, also known as vascular dementia, is a form of dementia resulting from brain damage caused by stroke or transient ischemic attacks (also known as mini-strokes).
