Vascular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of stroke.

Sierra, Cristina, Coca, Antonio, Schiffrin, Ernesto L.·2011·Current Hypertension Reports

Abstract

Stroke is one of the most devastating manifestations of two common diseases, atherosclerosis and hypertension. It represents the second leading cause of death and a major cause of disability worldwide. Besides age (a nonmodifiable risk factor), hypertension is the most important cardiovascular risk factor for developing both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, as well as small vessel disease predisposing to lacunar infarction, white matter lesions, and cerebral microbleeds. In addition, hypertension predisposes to atherosclerosis and cardiac diseases (notably atrial fibrillation), thereby promoting cerebral embolism. Inflammatory mechanisms play a central role in the pathogenesis and progression of atherosclerosis, plaque rupture, thrombosis, and stroke. Endothelial dysfunction, in part resulting from excessive production of reactive oxygen species, is an important mechanism of cerebrovascular damage. This article reviews recent data on vascular mechanisms that participate in the pathogenesis of stroke.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Mechanisms behind hemorrhagic stroke include lipohyalinosis of small arteries and fibrinoid necrosis induced by long-standing hypertension, followed by formation of small microaneurysms (Charcot-Bouchard aneurysms) that subsequently rupture.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
