Rehabilitation outcomes of stroke patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction in the subacute rehabilitation phase.

CONCLUSION: Stroke patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction in the subacute phase could achieve almost the same functional outcomes as those of patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Although the general medical condition should be considered, the finding of low left ventricular ejection fraction did not pose a barrier to successful rehabilitation after stroke.
