Stroke Management • Blood pressure control • Blood pressure control within 7 – 10 days post stroke leads to increase 30 days mortality (The Lancet. 22/10/2014 open access) (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(14)61121-1) • Goals of blood pressure control • Thrombolytic therapy: SBP < 185mmHg, DBP < 110mmHg • No thrombolytic therapy: SBP <220mmHg, DBP < 120mmHg
Reperfusion Therapy • Intravenous alteplase (tPA) within 4.5 hours from onset • Intra-arterial alteplase (tPA) within 6 hours from onset • Mechanical thrombolysis
Antiplatelet treatment • Aspirin 160 to 320mg daily within 48 hours would decrease recurrent of stroke within 14 days and death within 28 days (International Stroke Trial (IST) and Chinese Acute Stroke Trial (CAST)) • ?Dual antiplatelet treatment with aspirin and clopidogrel (300mg loading, then 75mg daily) for high risk patient (ABCD2 score ≥ 4) (CHANCE trial)

Question 2 • State 3 etiologies for young onset stroke • Vasculopathy • Moyamoya disease (primary or secondary) • Dissection • Vasculitis • Substance abuse
Question 2 • Cerebral angiogram was performed after stabilization
Question 2 • Describe the finding • Puff of smoke appearance • Due to collateral vasculature • What is the diagnosis? • Moyamoya disease
Moyamoya Disease • Bilateral stenosis or occlusion of vessels around circle of Willis with prominent collateral circulation • Moyamoya is Japanese, meaning hazy like a puff of smoke in the air • Can lead to both ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke
Question 3 • F/56 • Good past health • Vehicle-pedestrian collision with left knee injury • BP 153/79mmHg • P 95/min
Question 3 • Left knee X-ray was taken
Question 3 • Describe the X-ray finding • Fracture over lateral tibial plateau of the left knee • No depression • What is the classification of the above condition? • Schatzker classification • Which type this patient belonged to? • Type I

Question 3 • Name 4 potential complications • Late complications • Knee stiffness • Knee instability • Osteoarthritis • Malunion, nonunion • Angular deformity • Late collapse
Question 4 • M/72 • History of DM, HT, SSS on pacemaker • Sudden onset of severe chest pain for 3 hours, only partially relieved by TNG • BP 164/88 mmHg • P 62/min
Question 4 • ECG was performed
Question 4 • Describe the ECG findings • Widen QRS complex with heart rate 60/min (pacemaker beat) • ST elevation in I, aVL, V4-V6 • Reciprocal ST depression in III, aVF
Question 4 • State an ECG criteria for assistance of diagnosis • Sgarbossa criteria • What is the diagnosis? • Acute anteriolateral ST elevation myocardial infarction
Sgarbossa Criteria • ST elevation ≥1 mm in a lead with a positive QRS complex (ie: concordance) - 5 points • ST depression ≥1 mm in lead V1, V2, or V3 - 3 points • ST elevation ≥5 mm in a lead with a negative (discordant) QRS complex - 2 points • ≥3 points, sensitivity 36%, specificity 90% (NEJM 334(8):481-487)
Modified Sgarbossa Criteria • at least one lead with concordant STE (Sgarbossa criterion 1) or • at least one lead of V1-V3 with concordant ST depression (Sgarbossa criterion 2) or • proportionally excessively discordant ST elevation in V1-V4, as defined by an ST/S ratio of equal to or more than 0.20 and at least 2 mm of STE. (this replaces Sgarbossa criterion 3 which uses an absolute of 5mm) • Sensitivity 91%, Specificity 90% (Annals of Emergency Medicine 60 (6): 766–776.)
Question 4 • Outline the management in AED • Recognize emergency condition and manage in resuscitation room with resuscitation equipments standby • Monitoring devices • Set up large bore IV access, blood tests, CXR • Consult cardiologist for assessment • MONA • Reperfusion therapy • Antithrombotic therapy and antiplatelet therapy
Primary PCI • Door to balloon time • 90 minutes in PCI capable hospital • 120 minutes in non-PCI capable hospital • Patients presented more than 12 hours, with cardiogenic shock, electrical instability or persistent ischemic symptoms (2013 ACCF/AHA guideline for the management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction)
Thrombolytic therapy • Symptoms within 12 hours with primary PCI not available within 120 minutes • Door to needle time less than 30 minutes • Facilitated PCI is not recommended • Rescue PCI if failed fibrinolysis (2013 ACCF/AHA guideline for the management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction)
Thrombolytic therapy • First generation fibrinolytic agents (eg streptokinase) indiscriminately induce activation of circulating plasminogen and clot-associated plasminogen • Second generation fibrinolytic agents (eg t-PA) preferentially activate plasminogen in the fibrin domain • Second generation fibrinolytic agents improve 24 hours, 30 days and 1 year mortality rate in GUSTO trial (Circulation. Oct 10 2000;102(15):1761-5.)
Antithrombotic therapy • Enoxaparin 0.5mg/kg significant reduced clinical ischemic outcome compared with unfractionated heparin in STEMI patient undergoing primary PCI (ATOLL trial. Lancet. Aug 20 2011;378(9792):693-703.)
Antiplatelet agents • Aspirin should be given immediately • Adding clopidogrel 300mg (CLARITY-TIMI 28) is safe and effective • Increase clopidogrel to 600mg in patient with STEMI prior to primary PCI was associated with a smaller infarct size (ARMYDA-6 MI) (J Am CollCardiol. Oct 4 2011;58(15):1592-9.)
