American Heart Association says In-Hospital Infections increase odds of readmission for Stroke Patients
American Heart Association Stroke Journal Report
Dallas, TX – Hospitalized ischemic stroke patients with an infection are significantly more likely to be readmitted within 30 days, regardless of the severity of their stroke or other individual patient characteristics, according to new research published in the American Heart Association’s journal Stroke.
Ischemic strokes are caused by a blockage in an artery leading to the brain and are the most common type of stroke.
Ischemic stroke patients who have an infection, even one as common as a urinary tract infection, identified while hospitalized are more likely than others to be readmitted within the first 30 days after being discharged. (American Heart Association)

American Heart Association reports Experimental Vaccine may reduce Post-Stroke Blood Clot Risk
American Heart Association
Dallas, TX – A vaccine may one day be able to replace oral blood thinners to reduce the risk of secondary strokes caused by blood clots, without increasing the risk of serious bleeding or triggering an autoimmune response, according to new research in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension.
People who have had a stroke caused by a blood clot (ischemic strokes) often need to take medications that make their blood less likely to clot, which helps prevent another stroke.
An experimental vaccine might one day protect ischemic stroke survivors from developing blood clots and subsequent strokes. (American Heart Association)
