“According to some research, people with highly irregular sleep patterns are at a 26% greater risk for heart attack, heart failure, and stroke compared to more consistent sleepers. Among moderately irregular sleepers, the risk of cardiovascular events increases 8%.”

“These inflammatory alterations were associated with improvements in stroke effectiveness. While beneficial in some contexts, these anti-inflammatory qualities of cold exposure on exercise and athletic performance may add nuance or complexity to any discussion of the practice's effects.”

“Another notable finding was that the studies with industry funding were more likely to study broader outcomes like "cardiovascular disease" instead of more specific cardiovascular disease outcomes like stroke or hypertension.”

“The primary clinical outcome of atrial fibrillation is ischemic stroke, the risk of which increases four to fivefold in the presence of atrial fibrillation.”

“Unfortunately, overburdened physicians sometimes mistakenly list COVID-19 as the cause of death and pneumonia, stroke, and respiratory failure as comorbidities. This reporting error contributes to the misconception that COVID-19 only kills people with multiple comorbidities.”

“FTA: > In a study published earlier this year in JAMA Neurology, researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded that in a nine-year span from 2003 to 2012 there was a 32 percent spike in strokes among 18- to 34-year-old women and a 15 percent increase for men in the same range I wonder if there's any interesting associations they haven't mapped out...”

“The participants were followed for approximately four years for recurrent cardiovascular events, including nonfatal MI, coronary heart disease death, or stroke. The findings indicated that during the follow-up period, 7.3 percent of the men and 7.9 percent of the women had a recurrent cardiovascular event.”

“His study published in 2011 found DHA triggered production of Neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1), a naturally occurring neuroprotective molecule in the brain derived from DHA and discovered by Dr. Bazan. Not only did DHA treatment salvage stroke-damaged brain tissue that would have died, its repair mechanisms rendered some areas indistinguishable from normal tissue by 7 days.”

“> The researchers also discovered that these mice had increased concentrations of DHA in their brain mitochondria, energy-producing structures in cells that can be injured by free radicals when blood flow is restored to the brain after a stroke.”

“This is further evidence that gut bacteria can affect brain integrity through inflammatory-mediated processes. The lead researchers in this study plan on looking at the gut microbiome in patients that are susceptible to these kinds of strokes and seizures.”
