Prognostic indicators for the onset of ischaemic versus haemorrhagic stroke in stable coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

The incidence of stroke may be increased in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to investigate the specific risk factors for the development of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke in stable CAD patients.Patients with stable CAD were prospectively enrolled for future cardiovascular events in Taiwan. All the patients had received coronary interventions and were stable for least 1 month before enrolment. The incidence of ischaemic stroke was identified and confirmed by telephone and hospital records. Baseline characteristics, including demographic data, lipid profiles, medications, and biomarkers for potential inflammatory and atherosclerosis, were analysed.In total, 1428 patients (age, 63.07 ± 11.4 years; 1207 males) were under standard medical treatment and
