Abstract

Atherosclerosis is accelerated in patients with different stages of chronic renal failure. Renal dysfunction predicts mortality in patients with myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure. Less is known about the impact of renal dysfunction on mortality after ischemic stroke. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of renal dysfunction on 1-year mortality. All 390 patients (207 men and 183 women) suffered from ischemic stroke in 1-year period were included in our study. Telephonic follow-up after 1 year was performed. The mean age of our patients was 71.0 ± 11.6 years, ranged from 36 to 96 years. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated according to abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. At admission and at discharge National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) were performed. The mean GFR in our patients was 66.0 ± 20.68 ml/min/1.73 m(2). There were 123 (31.5 %) deaths in 1-year period. Patients who died were older (P < 0.001), had higher NIHSS at admission and at discharge (both P < 0.001), higher high-sensitive C-reactive protein (P = 0.002), lower albumin (P < 0.001), lower GFR (P = 0.044), had more frequent atrial fibrillation (P < 0.001), and were less frequent actual sm...Continue Reading

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.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. 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 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.
