Incidence and determinants of cerebrovascular events in outpatients with stable coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There are limited data on cerebrovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease. To study the risk of cerebrovascular event, the relative proportion of ischaemic stroke and intracranial haemorrhage, and their prognostic factors in stable coronary artery disease are investigated.

Patients and methods

The CORONOR registry prospectively recruited, between February 2010 and April 2011, 4184 unselected stable coronary artery disease outpatients. All events occurring during a five-year follow-up were adjudicated.

Results

Ninety-six patients had an ischaemic stroke and 34 had an intracranial haemorrhage, reaching a cumulative incidence after five years of 3.2 (2.7-3.8)%. During the same period, 677 deaths and 170 myocardial infarctions (ST-eleva
