Description
Summary:Abstract only Introduction: The role of heart failure and left atrial dilatation as independent risk factors for ischemic stroke has remained controversial. The goal of this study is to evaluate the association between reduced ejection fraction (EF) and left atrial dilatation with cardioembolic stroke. Methods: Four hundred fifty-three patients with ischemic stroke admitted to the University of California, Irvine between 2016-2017 were included based on the following criteria: age >18 and availability of echocardiogram within 3 months of diagnosis. Stroke was subdivided into cardioembolic and non-cardioembolic based on MRI findings. EF was categorized into normal: 52-72% (male), 54-74% (female), mildly abnormal: 41-51%(male), 41-53% (female), moderately abnormal: 30-40% (same in both genders), and severely abnormal:
