Risk factors for ischemic stroke in a Russian community: a population-based case-control study

Stroke; a Journal of Cerebral Circulation

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the risk factors for ischemic stroke in a defined Russian population. Our data are based on a population-based case-control study of 237 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and 237 age- and sex-matched controls. Logistic regression methods for matched pairs were used to estimate the relative risk for the variables studied. In a multivariate analysis, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiography, ischemic heart disease, mitral valve disease, current cigarette smoking, and high body mass index were significant and independent risk factors for ischemic stroke in this Russian community. The significant risk factors for ischemic stroke in Novosibirsk are similar to those from other populations and cohorts. This study, the first of stroke risk factors in Russia, has implications for clinical practice and the planning of stroke prevention in the population.

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.

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.
