Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction Is Associated with Poor Functional Outcomes after Endovascular Thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

With the advent of endovascular thrombectomy (ET), patients with acute ischaemic strokes (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO) have seen vast improvements in treatment outcomes. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) has been shown to herald poorer prognosis in conditions such as myocardial infarction. However, whether LVDD is related to functional recovery and outcomes in ischaemic stroke remains unclear. We studied LVDD for possible relation with clinical outcomes in patients with LVO AIS who underwent ET.

Methods

We studied a retrospective cohort of 261 LVO AIS patients who had undergone ET at a single comprehensive stroke centre and correlated LVDD to short-term mortality (in-hospital death) as well as good functional recovery defined as modified Ra
