Topographical Association Between Left Ventricular Strain and Brain Lesions in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke and Normal Cardiac Function.

ABSTRACT: Background Although it is well known that the disordered brain provokes cardiac autonomic dysfunction, the detailed location of brain lesions related to cardiac function warrants further investigation. We aimed to elucidate the brain lesions topographically associated with left ventricular (LV) systolic function measured by myocardial strain in patients with acute ischemic stroke without preexisting primary cardiac dysfunction by using support vector regression lesion-symptom mapping. Methods and Results Subjects were those with LV ejection fraction of 50% or more among patients with acute ischemic stroke registered in the Samsung Medical Center stroke registry between 2016 and 2017. To evaluate LV systolic performance and contractility, we measured LV ejection fraction and LV global and r
