Article Abstract
Cardio-cerebral infarction, which refers to an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) that occur concurrently, is an uncommon phenomenon with a grave prognosis. Intraluminal carotid thrombus (ICT) is an infrequently encountered cause of ischemic stroke and can be associated with an underlying hypercoagulable state. One severe yet prevalent complication of infection with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is thrombosis from multi-pathway inflammatory responses. Here, we present a unique case of cardio-cerebral infarction, with a free-floating intraluminal thrombus in the left internal carotid artery, in the setting of recent COVID-19 infection, and with the etiology of both events attributed to a COVID-19 hypercoagulable state. CT perfusion imaging also showed an interesting imaging finding of hyperperfusion, which is believed to be a form of dysfunctional cerebral autoregulation.

Ethnopharmacological Significance: Huoxue Rongluo Formula (HXRLF) is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription widely used to treat ischemic stroke (IS), based on the classical therapeutic principles of nourishing yin and activating blood circulation. Preliminary clinical studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in improving neurological function and prognosis. However, the precise mechanisms by which HXRLF confers neuroprotection, especially its role in modulating ferroptosis after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), remain unclear.

Background: Simultaneous acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and myocardial infarction (cardiocerebral ischemic attack) have rarely been reported in the literature. Currently, no clear evidence-based guidelines or clinical trials exist to determine the optimal therapeutic strategy for these patients.
Case Summary: We present the case of a 27-year-old Chinese man who simultaneously experienced acute concomitant cerebrocardiac infarction (CCI) and painless ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Brain computed tomography (CT) perfusion imaging is essential for determining patient eligibility for mechanical thrombectomy in wake-up stroke cases. CT scanning is also valuable for enabling simultaneous whole-body imaging, which supports access route evaluation and helps exclude differential diagnoses such as aortic dissection. In this report, we describe comprehensive brain perfusion CT and whole-body imaging for diagnostic evaluation in a 91-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency department with a suspected wake-up stroke.

Background: Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD), a traditional Chinese medicine formula for cerebral infarction, exerts neuroprotective effects by enhancing cerebral energy metabolism, yet its precise mechanisms remain elusive.
Objective: To explore the effects of BYHWD on improving cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) with Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome from an energy metabolism perspective and verify it through experiments.
Methods: A rat model of CIRI with Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome was established and intervened with BYHWD.
