Abstract

Heart failure (HF) is common among patients with ischemic stroke (IS), however its impact on outcome after iv-thrombolysis has not been fully determined. Moreover, definition of HF has been recently modified, but majority of stroke studies classified patients regarding an old HF criteria. Thus, the aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between both, newly and formerly defined HF and the long-term outcome, mortality and the presence of hemorrhagic complications in patients with acute IS treated with iv-thrombolysis. We retrospectively evaluated data from 328 Caucasian patients with IS consecutively treated with iv-thrombolysis. HF was defined according to old and new definition; long-term outcome was assessed with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score and mortality rate on 90th days after IS. The incidence of HF did not differ between patients with favorable (mRS 0-2) and unfavorable (mRS 3-6) functional outcome respectively for the old and for the new definition (10.4% vs. 15.5, p = 0.17; 17.4% vs. 18.1%, p = 0.88) and between those who survived and died within 90 days after IS (11.7% vs. 20.0%, p = 0.27; 17.2% vs. 25.0%, p = 0.38, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed no impact of HF diagnosis on outcome (p = 0.9...Continue Reading

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.
