Mortality Risk in Patients With Cardiac Complications Following Ischemic Stroke: A Report From the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac complications may occur in patients following ischemic stroke (stroke-heart syndrome [SHS]). We investigated the mortality risk in patients with SHS and across the SHS manifestations.

Methods and results

Data were sought from the VISTA (Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive), an international repository of clinical trials data. We reviewed relevant adverse events and classified patients into 2 cohorts based on the incidence of SHS. The SHS was defined as developing any cardiac complications within 30 days following stroke. Using Cox proportional hazards models, we evaluated the temporal risk dynamics of 90-day death associated with the day of SHS onset. We also compared the risk of 90-day death across SHS manifestations, using multivariate analysis.
