    Abstract: The tibial tuberosity (TT) in the axial plane is located on a curved line along the anterior cortex of the proximal tibia. Therefore, the linear measurement of TT position may not fully reflect TT malposition. Purpose: To introduce TT–rotational angle (TT-RA) as a new anatomical parameter, which means the rotation of the TT relative to the dorsal condylar line of the tibia, and to validate its predictive value for patellar dislocation. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Included were 46 patients with a history of patellar dislocation and 46 age- and sex-matched controls who underwent axial magnetic resonance imaging. Seven radiological parameters were measured and compared between the 2 groups, including TT–trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, tibial tubercle–posterior cruciate ligament (TT-PCL) distance, TT-PCL ratio, TT lateralization (TTL), trochlear groove medialization (TGM), TT-RA, trochlear groove–posterior condylar axis angle (TG-PCA), and knee rotation. The predictive values of parameters for patellar dislocation were assessed using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: The intra- and interobserver correlation coefficients for measuring the radiographic parameters showed good to excellent values., respectively. There were significant differences in the TT-TG distance (13.9 vs 6.8 mm; P 〈 .001), TT-RA (16.0° vs 9.1°; P 〈 .001), TG-PCA (93.7° vs 95.4°; P = .017), and knee rotation (0.9° vs 5.3°; P 〈 .001) between the 2 groups. However, there was no significant difference in TT-PCL distance (20.7 vs 19.4 mm; P = .075), TT-PCL ratio (28.0% vs 26.6%; P = .136), TTL (65.7% vs 64.9%; P = .270), or TGM (54.9% vs 55.0%; P = .923). Multivariable analysis showed that 3 parameters were significantly associated with patellar dislocation: TT-RA (OR, 1.57; P 〈 .001), TT-TG distance (OR, 1.52; P = .002), and knee rotation (OR, 0.75; P = .022). Conclusion: The TT-RA was a reliable predisposing parameter of patellar instability. It can be an alternative method of measurement when the TT-TG distance is not clearly defined.

    Abstract: The TST trial (Treat Stroke to Target) evaluated the benefit of targeting a LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol of 〈 70 mg/dL to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in 2860 patients with ischemic stroke with atherosclerotic stenosis of cerebral vasculature or aortic arch plaque 〉 4 mm, in a French and Korean population. The follow-up lasted a median of 5.3 years in French patients (similar to the median follow-up time in the SPARCL trial [Stroke Prevention by Aggressive Reduction in Cholesterol Level]) and 2.0 years in Korean patients. Exposure duration to statin is a well-known driver for cardiovascular risk reduction. We report here the TST results in the French cohort. Methods— One thousand seventy-three French patients were assigned to 〈 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L) and 1075 to 100±10 mg/dL (90–110 mg/dL, 2.3–2.8 mmol/L). To achieve these goals, investigators used the statin and dosage of their choice and added ezetimibe on top if needed. The primary outcome was the composite of ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, new symptoms requiring urgent coronary or carotid revascularization and vascular death. Results— After a median follow-up of 5.3 years, the achieved LDL cholesterol was 66 (1.69 mmol/L) and 96 mg/dL (2.46 mmol/L) on average, respectively. The primary end point occurred in 9.6% and 12.9% of patients, respectively (HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.57–0.94]; P =0.019). Cerebral infarction or urgent carotid revascularization following transient ischemic attack was reduced by 27% ( P =0.046). Cerebral infarction or intracranial hemorrhage was reduced by 28% ( P =0.023). The primary outcome or intracranial hemorrhage was reduced by 25% ( P =0.021). Intracranial hemorrhages occurred in 13 and 11 patients, respectively (HR, 1.17 [95% CI, 0.53–2.62]; P =0.70). Conclusions— After an ischemic stroke of documented atherosclerotic origin, targeting a LDL cholesterol of 〈 70 mg/dL during 5.3 years avoided 1 subsequent major vascular event in 4 (number needed to treat of 30) and no increase in intracranial hemorrhage.

    Abstract: Although statins are effective in secondary prevention of ischemic stroke, they are also associated with an increase risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in certain conditions. In the TST trial (Treat Stroke to Target), we prespecified an exploration of the predictors of incident ICH. Methods: Patients with ischemic stroke in the previous 3 months or transient ischemic attack within the previous 15 days and evidence of cerebrovascular or coronary artery atherosclerosis were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to a target LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol of 〈 70 mg/dL or 100±10 mg/dL, using statin or ezetimibe. Results: Among 2860 patients enrolled, 31 incident ICH occurred over a median follow-up of 3 years (18 and 13 in the lower and higher target group, 3.21/1000 patient-years [95% CI, 2.38–4.04] and 2.32/1000 patient-years [95% CI, 1.61–3.03] , respectively). While there were no baseline predictors of ICH, uncontrolled hypertension (HR, 2.51 [95% CI, 1.01–6.31], P =0.041) and being on anticoagulant (HR, 2.36 [95% CI, 1.00–5.62], P =0.047)] during the trial were significant predictors. On-treatment low LDL cholesterol was not a predictor of ICH. Conclusions: Targeting an LDL cholesterol of 〈 70 mg/dL compared with 100±10 mg/dL in patients with atherosclerotic ischemic stroke nonsignificantly increased the risk of ICH. Incident ICHs were not associated with low LDL cholesterol. Uncontrolled hypertension and anticoagulant therapy were associated with ICH which has important clinical implications.

    Abstract: Whether a strategy to target an LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol 〈 70 mg/dL is more effective when LDL is reduced 〉 50% from baseline rather than 〈 50% from baseline has not been investigated. METHODS: The Treat Stroke to Target trial was conducted in France and South Korea in 61 sites between March 2010 and December 2018. Patients with ischemic stroke in the previous 3 months or transient ischemic attack within the previous 15 days and evidence of cerebrovascular or coronary artery atherosclerosis were randomly assigned to a target LDL cholesterol of 〈 70 mg/dL or 100±10 mg/dL, using statin and/or ezetimibe as needed. We used the results of repeated LDL measurements (median, 5 [2–6] per patient) during 3.9 years (interquartile range, 2.1–6.8) of follow-up. The primary outcome was the composite of ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, new symptoms requiring urgent coronary or carotid revascularization, and vascular death. Cox regression model including lipid-lowering therapy as a time-varying variable, after adjustment for randomization strategy, age, sex, index event (stroke or transient ischemic attack), and time since the index event. RESULTS: Among 2860 patients enrolled, patients in the lower target group who had 〉 50% LDL cholesterol reduction from baseline during the trial had a higher baseline LDL cholesterol and a lower LDL cholesterol achieved as compared to patients who had 〈 50% LDL cholesterol reduction (155±32 and 62 mg/dL versus 121±34 and 74 mg/dL, respectively, P 〈 0.001 for both). In the 〈 70 mg/dL target group, patients with 〉 50% LDL reduction had a significant reduction in the primary outcome as compared to the higher target group (hazard ratio, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.43–0.88]; P =0.007) and patients with 〈 50% LDL reduction from baseline had little reduction (hazard ratio, 0.96 [95% CI, 0.73–1.26]; P =0.75). CONCLUSIONS: In this post hoc analysis of the TST trial, targeting an LDL cholesterol of 〈 70 mg/dL reduced the risk of primary outcome compared with 100±10 mg/dL provided LDL cholesterol reduction from baseline was superior to 50%, thereby suggesting that the magnitude of LDL cholesterol reduction was as important to consider as the target level to achieve.

    Abstract: Although many electrocardiography wearable devices have been released recently for the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF), there are few studies reporting prospective data for wearable devices compared to the strategy of the existing guidelines in the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryptogenic stroke. A tiny single-patch monitor is more convenient than a conventional Holter monitor recording device and, therefore, longer duration of monitoring may be acceptable. Methods and Design The CANDLE-AF study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Patients with transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke without any history of AF will be enrolled. The superiority of the 72-h single-patch monitor to standard strategy and non-inferiority of the 72-h single-patch monitor to an event-recorder-type device will be investigated. Single-patch monitor arm will repeat monitoring at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, event-recorder-type arm will repeat monitoring twice daily for 12 months. The enrollment goal is a total of 600 patients, and the primary outcome is the detection of AF which continues at least 30 s during study period. The secondary outcome is the rate of changes from antiplatelet to anticoagulant and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events within 1 year. Conclusions The results of CANDLE-AF will clarify the role of a single-lead patch ECG for the early detection of AF in patients with acute ischemic stroke. In addition, the secondary outcome will be analyzed to determine whether more sensitive AF detection can affect the prognosis and if further device development is meaningful.

    Abstract: Optimal blood pressure (BP) control after successful reperfusion with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for patients with acute ischemic stroke is unclear. Objective To determine whether intensive BP management during the first 24 hours after successful reperfusion leads to better clinical outcomes than conventional BP management in patients who underwent EVT. Design, Setting, and Participants Multicenter, randomized, open-label trial with a blinded end-point evaluation, conducted across 19 stroke centers in South Korea from June 2020 to November 2022 (final follow-up, March 8, 2023). It included 306 patients with large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke treated with EVT and with a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score of 2b or greater (partial or complete reperfusion). Interventions Participants were randomly assigned to receive intensive BP management (systolic BP target & amp;lt;140 mm Hg; n = 155) or conventional management (systolic BP target 140-180 mm Hg; n = 150) for 24 hours after enrollment. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was functional independence at 3 months (modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2). The primary safety outcomes were symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage within 36 hours and death related to the index stroke within 3 months. Results The trial was terminated early based on the recommendation of the data and safety monitoring board, which noted safety concerns. Among 306 randomized patients, 305 were confirmed eligible and 302 (99.0%) completed the trial (mean age, 73.0 years; 122 women [40.4%]). The intensive management group had a lower proportion achieving functional independence (39.4%) than the conventional management group (54.4%), with a significant risk difference (−15.1% [95% CI, −26.2% to −3.9%] ) and adjusted odds ratio (0.56 [95% CI, 0.33-0.96]; P  = .03). Rates of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage were 9.0% in the intensive group and 8.1% in the conventional group (risk difference, 1.0% [95% CI, −5.3% to 7.3%]; adjusted odds ratio, 1.10 [95% CI, 0.48-2.53] ; P  = .82). Death related to the index stroke within 3 months occurred in 7.7% of the intensive group and 5.4% of the conventional group (risk difference, 2.3% [95% CI, −3.3% to 7.9%]; adjusted odds ratio, 1.73 [95% CI, 0.61-4.92] ; P  = .31). Conclusions and Relevance Among patients who achieved successful reperfusion with EVT for acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion, intensive BP management for 24 hours led to a lower likelihood of functional independence at 3 months compared with conventional BP management. These results suggest that intensive BP management should be avoided after successful EVT in acute ischemic stroke. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04205305

    Abstract: The purpose of the RAFAS (Risk and Benefits of Urgent Rhythm Control of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Acute Stroke) trial was to explore the risks and benefits of early rhythm control in patients with newly documented atrial fibrillation (AF) during an acute ischemic stroke (IS). Method and Results An open‐label, randomized, multicenter trial design was used. If AF was diagnosed, the patients in the early rhythm control group started rhythm control within 2 months after the occurrence of an IS, unlikely the usual care. The primary end points were recurrent IS within 3 and 12 months. The secondary end points were a composite of all deaths, unplanned hospitalizations from any cause, and adverse arrhythmia events. Patients (n=300) with AF and an acute IS (63.0% men, aged 69.6±8.5 years; 51.2% with paroxysmal AF) were randomized 2:1 to early rhythm control (n=194) or usual care (n=106). A total of 273 patients excluding those lost to follow‐up (n=27) were analyzed. The IS recurrences did not differ between the groups within 3 months of the index stroke (2 [1.1%] versus 4 [4.2%] ; hazard ratio [HR], 0.257 [log‐rank P =0.091]) but were significantly lower in the early rhythm control group at 12 months (3 [1.7%] versus 6 [6.3%]; HR, 0.251 [log‐rank P =0.034]). Although the rates of overall mortality, any cause of hospitalizations (25 [14.0%] versus 16 [16.8%]; HR, 0.808 [log‐rank P =0.504]), and arrhythmia‐related adverse events (5 [2.8%] versus 1 [1.1%]; HR, 2.565 [log‐rank P =0.372]) did not differ, the proportion of sustained AF was lower in the early rhythm control group than the usual care group (60 [34.1%] versus 59 [62.8%], P 〈 0.001) in 12 months. Conclusions The early rhythm control strategy of an acute IS decreased the sustained AF and recurrent IS within 12 months without an increase in the composite adverse outcomes.
