2024 Guideline for the Primary Prevention of Stroke: A Guideline From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

Stroke

Stroke, Ahead of Print. AIM:The “2024 Guideline for the Primary Prevention of Stroke” replaces the 2014 “Guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Stroke.” This updated guideline is intended to be a resource for clinicians to use to guide various prevention strategies for individuals with no history of stroke.METHODS:A comprehensive search for literature published since the 2014 guideline; derived from research involving human participants published in English; and indexed in MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and other selected and relevant databases was conducted between May and November 2023. Other documents on related subject matter previously published by the American Heart Association were also reviewed.STRUCTURE:Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes lead to significant disability but, most important, are preventable. The 2024 primary prevention of stroke guideline provides recommendations based on current evidence for strategies to prevent stroke throughout the life span. These recommendations align with the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 for optimizing cardiovascular and brain health, in addition to preventing incident stroke. We also have added sex-specific recommendations for screening and prevention of stroke, which are new compared with the 2014 guideline. Many recommendations for similar risk factor prevention were updated, new topics were reviewed, and recommendations were created when supported by sufficient-quality published data.

High-load strength training compared with standard care treatment in young adults with joint hypermobility and knee pain: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (the HIPEr-Knee study)

BMJ (recent)

Introduction
Patients with generalised joint hypermobility, including knee hypermobility (GJHk), often experience knee pain and are typically managed with low-intensity strength training and/or proprioceptive training as part of standard care. However, not all patients experience satisfactory outcomes. High-load strength training may offer additional benefits, such as increased muscle cross-sectional area, neural drive and tendon stiffness, which may reduce pain and improve active knee joint stability during movement tasks and daily activities. So far, no randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have compared high-load strength training with traditional treatment strategies (standard care) for this patient group.

Methods and analysis
In this RCT, we aim to recruit patients with GJHk and knee pain from primary care physiotherapy clinics in the Region of Southern Denmark and via social media. Patients with competing injuries or experience with high-load strength training will be excluded. Patients will be randomised (1:1 ratio) to either 2 weekly sessions of high-load strength training or standard care for 12 weeks. The primary outcome is self-reported knee pain during an activity nominated by the patient as the most aggravating for their present knee pain measured using the Visual Analogue Scale for Nominated Activity (VASNA, 0–100; 0=no pain and 100=worst imaginable pain). This will be collected at baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 12 months. Secondary outcomes include self-reported knee function and adverse events (collected at baseline, 12 weeks and 12 months), objective measurements including a 5-repetition maximum single-leg press, proprioception and single-leg-hop for distance (collected at baseline and 12 weeks), and a range of other outcome measures such as fear of movement, tendon stiffness and global perceived effect. We aim to recruit 90 patients in total to detect a 10 mm group difference in the primary outcome with 80% power.

Ethics and dissemination
This study was funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark (grant number 2034-00088B) on 14 June 2022; the Regional Committees on Health Research Ethics for Southern Denmark approved it (S-20230050) on 30 August 2023. The first recruitment site opened on 15 February 2024, and the final results will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal to inform rehabilitation strategies for symptomatic GJHk.Protocol version 1, dated 4 July 2024.

Trial registration number
NCT06277401.
