Echocardiographic parameters determining cardiovascular outcomes in patients after acute ischemic stroke

Previous studies have focused on only 1 or 2 echocardiographic parameters as prognostic markers in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A total of 900 patients with AIS who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (72.6 ± 12.0 years and 60% males) were retrospectively reviewed. Composite clini...

Description
Summary:Previous studies have focused on only 1 or 2 echocardiographic parameters as prognostic markers in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A total of 900 patients with AIS who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (72.6 ± 12.0 years and 60% males) were retrospectively reviewed. Composite clinical events, including all-cause mortality, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and coronary revascularization, were assessed during clinical follow-ups. During a median follow-up of 3.3 years (interquartile range 0.6–5.1 years), there were 151 (16.8%) composite events. In the multivariable analyses after controlling for potential confounders, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
