Abstract

We studied whether some variables differ between patients with right and left hemispheric ischemic stroke. A total of 383 cases were obtained from our department-based records between April 2003 and March 2006. Age distribution, sex, intracranial localization of anterior (carotid artery distribution) or posterior (vertebrobasilar artery distribution) circulation, mechanism subtypes according to Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria, cerebrovascular risk factors, and time from clinical onset to admission were analyzed between the right and the left hemispheric ischemic stroke groups. In all, 200 patients had left hemispheric stroke and 183 patients had right hemispheric stroke. Age, sex, vascular risk profile, stroke subtypes, and mechanism subtypes were not statistically different between patients with right- and left-sided ischemic stroke. Time interval from neurologic onset to admission within 6 hours was significantly associated with left hemispheric cerebral infarction. Furthermore, patients with left-sided small-vessel occlusion visited our hospital earlier, up to 6 hours as compared with patients with right-sided small-vessel occlusion (P < .05). We suppose that patients with right-sided small-vess...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

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.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
