However, restricted acoustic windows may limit visualization of the pericardium, and posterior loculated or right-sided pericardial pathology may be extremely difficult to visualize. CCT and CMR offer distinct advantages over echocardiography in the imaging of pericardial disease. These include a wider FOV, allowing examination of the entire thorax, and better spatial resolution. CCT, in particular, offers excellent spatial and temporal resolution, allowing motion-free imaging of the pericardium and associated pathology.","PeriodicalId":77158,"journal":{"name":"Heart disease and stroke : a journal for primary care physicians","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61653528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a consecutive series of 938 stroke patients enrolled into the NINCDS Stroke Data Bank, primary ICH accounted for 10.7% of the cases 4 . The age-adjusted annual incidence rates for primary intracerebral hemorrhage range from 11 to 31 per 100,000 population in predominantly Caucasian population based-studies with a high rate of CT scanning 5 . The risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in blacks is 1.4 times the risk in whites 6 . The most common risk factors in the 403 black patients with ICH were pre-existing hypertension (77%), alcohol use (40%), and smoking (30%). Among the 91 non-hypertensive patients, 21 (23%) were diagnosed with hypertension after onset. Compared with women, men had a younger age of onset (54 versus 60 years; p < .001) and a higher frequency of alcohol use (54% versus 22%; p < .001) and smoking (39% versus 17%; p < .001). ICH secondary to hypertension (n = 311) and of undetermined etiology (n = 73) were the most common subtypes in blacks. Patients aged 65 years and older (compared with those aged 15 to 44 years; p = .001) and women (compared with men; p = .02) were more likely to be dependent at discharge11. ICH remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in this population.","PeriodicalId":77158,"journal":{"name":"Heart disease and stroke : a journal for primary care physicians","volume":"2 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70816164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
