No one likes to walk into work after just a few fitful hours of sleep. But now there's evidence that not getting enough sleep may have more serious consequences than dark circles under your eyes the next morning. Researchers at the University of Chicago report in the Journal of the American Medical Association that too little sleep can promote calcium buildup in the heart arteries, leading to the plaques that can then break apart and cause heart attacks and strokes.

In UK primary care antipsychotic drug use was associated with an increased risk of stroke, and the risk was raised further by use of atypical drugs and by having dementia, according to this self controlled case series study. An accompaning editorial explains how this study design illustrates the relation between antipsychotics and stroke.

This large, prospective, observational study showed that Finnish smokers who consumed eight or more cups of coffee per day had a 23% lowered risk for cerebral infarction, whereas those who drank two or more cups of black tea daily had a 21% lowered risk for this type of stroke vs those who drank little or none of these beverages. The associations were independent of risk factors such as a history of coronary heart disease.
Their report is published in the June 2008 issue of Stroke

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A sudden loss of hearing can be an early warning of impending stroke, according to results of a study released Thursday.
Dr. Herng-Ching Lin and colleagues at Taipei Medical University identified 1423 adult patients hospitalized in 1998 with a first episode of sudden hearing loss and matched each "case" patient to four "control" patients.
Patients in the hearing loss group were significantly more likely to have hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, and elevated cholesterol levels, the investigators note
10 percent of healthy people in study had injury from "silent strokes"

A recent study found that about 10 percent of the apparently healthy middle-aged participants with no symptoms of stroke were injured from "silent strokes," researchers report in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. Silent cerebral infarction (SCI), or "silent stroke," is a brain injury likely caused by a blood clot interrupting blood flow in the brain. It's a risk factor for future strokes and a sign of progressive brain damage that may result in long-term dementia.
Why Is This Stroke Drug So Dangerous?

A stroke drug known as tPA, or tissue plasminogen activator, has been a lightning rod since it was first approved in the United States in 1996. Although studies have found that the drug can reduce the brain damage wrought by strokes, it can also cause potentially fatal bouts of cerebral bleeding. Now a team of researchers has identified one reason for tPA's ill effect. And it turns out that in mice, the problem can be eased by administering a cancer drug.

In a new study, rats were spared the limb-weakening effects of a stroke if they were treated with brain tissue cultivated from human embryonic stem cells. But unlike similar experiments, the transplanted cells gave no sign of causing tumors, according to a report this week in the online journal PLoS One.

According to a report in BMC Medicine, neurological symptoms that occur during pregnancy are rarely caused by a mini-stroke, or "transient ischemic attack" (TIA), but instead are usually associated with migraine with "aura," .
NASA Technology Helps Detect And Treat Heart Disease And Strokes

NASA space technology is helping doctors diagnose and monitor treatments for hardening of the arteries in its early stages, before it causes heart attacks and strokes.
Hospitals and doctors around the country are using ArterioVision software initially developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., along with a standardized, painless, non-invasive ultrasound examination of the carotid artery, which carries blood from the heart to the brain.
Medicare will not cover stents for neck arteries
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 8 months (www.nytimes.com)
Heart stents made the news recently, but this article discusses stents that are placed in neck arteries to prevent stroke. The issue isn't whether or not they work but who will pay for them.
Dr. Barry T. Katzen, director of the Baptist Cardiac and Vascular Institute in Miami, says that this will actually help research: By linking their willingness to pay to the efficacy of clinical trials, he says, they will influence doctors to be more stringent with those trials.
He sure sounds as though he's making the best of it. Thoughts?

"Hypertension contributes to increased stroke and SEE in AF. Event rates markedly increase at SBP levels of 140 mmHg. The higher stroke rates observed in SPORTIF III compared with SPORTIF V may be related to the greater proportion of subjects with SBP 140 mmHg during the trial. "
Differences in Blood Pressure Control and Stroke Mortality Across Spain
