Myocardial injury in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is not predicted by prior cardiac disease or neurological status: results from the Mannheim Stroke database.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Elevated cardiac troponin (cTn) levels (representing myocardial injury) are frequently found in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Overall, the relationship between sICH and elevated cTn levels is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate patient characteristics and clinical parameters in patients with sICH and myocardial injury.

Methods

This is a retrospective observational study based on the Mannheim Stroke database. Consecutive patient cases with acute symptomatic sICH and available high-sensitivity cTn I (hs-cTnI) at hospital admission between 2015 and 2021 were included. Group comparisons of patient, clinical and imaging characteristics were performed between groups with and without hs-cTnI elevation. In ad
