A population-based model of risk factors for ischemic stroke: Rochester, Minnesota

Neurology
J P WhisnantR L Frye

Abstract

The medical record linkage system for the Rochester Epidemiology Project provided the means to identify 1,444 incidence cases of ischemic stroke and age- and sex-matched controls from the population from 1960 to 1984 to conduct a case-control study nested in the population. A multiple logistic-regression model permitted the estimation of odds ratios of ischemic stroke for each risk factor while adjusting for confounding variables. The final model, in addition to age and date of stroke, included transient ischemic attacks, hypertension, current smoking, atrial fibrillation, ischemic heart disease, mitral valve disease (other than prolapse), and diabetes mellitus. The process identified interactions showing that ischemic stroke incidence for persons with transient ischemic attacks was higher in women than in men and that the risk decreased with increasing age; that the risk of stroke with hypertension and also with current cigarette smoking decreased with increasing age; and that the risk of ischemic stroke with intermittent or persistent atrial fibrillation was similar when hypertension was present, but without hypertension the risk of stroke was more than seven times greater with persistent than with intermittent atrial fibrill...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
