Abstract

We sought to detect prognostic factors related to functional outcome during the first 6 hours after a first-ever stroke in the carotid artery territory. All patients with these characteristics seen during a 3-year period were included. Outcome was evaluated according to a modified Rankin scale. The following variables were examined at univariate analysis: sex, age, severity of deficit at entry and at day 7, level of consciousness at entry, time after symptom onset, history of smoking, history of hypertension, diabetes, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, rheumatic heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, all potential cardioembolic sources, presence of a consistent lesion on computed tomography at entry and at days 5-9, and the size of such lesion. All entry criteria were met by 172 patients. Age > or = 70 years, a Canadian Neurological Scale score < 6.5 at entry and at day 7, atrial fibrillation, presence of a potential cardioembolic source, and a "large" lesion (involving more than half the cerebral lobe) on computed tomography at days 5-9 were associated with a significantly worse outcome both at 30 days and at 6 months. After multivariate analysis, a Canadian Scale score < 6.5 at entry (p < 0.0001) and atrial fibrilla...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.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

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.
