Abstract

To examine the synergism between vital exhaustion and cigarette smoking in producing ischemic stroke. Vital exhaustion (VE), a state characterized by unusual fatigue, irritability, and feelings of demoralization, is measured by the Maastricht questionnaire (MQ), a 21-item inventory of symptoms. The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study is an ongoing cohort study, initiated in 1987. The MQ was administered at the second follow-up visit (1990-1992), and participants were subsequently followed for an average of 6.27 years. Four US communities (Minneapolis, Minnesota; Washington County, Maryland; Forsyth County, North Carolina; and Jackson, Mississippi). 13,066 participants aged 48 to 67 years at baseline (Visit 2) with no history of stroke. Validated hospitalized ischemic stroke. During the follow-up period, there were 202 incident ischemic strokes. After multivariate adjustment, current smoking, and high VE were independent risk factors for incident stroke: (smoking vs. non-smoking HR=1.76, p < 0.01; high VE vs. low VE HR=1.94, p < 0.01). For persons with both VE and smoking vs. persons with neither, HR=2.71 (p < 0.001). The proportion of stroke disease burden due to VE and smoking that could be attributed to their int...Continue Reading

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.

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.
