Analysis of echocardiographic parameters of cardiac function in patients with acute stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: One quarter of patients in the acute phase of stroke have LVSD and/or LVDD. LVSD adversely affects both neurological status in acute stroke as well as functional status in the short-term follow-up. Age at first-in-life stroke incidence and lower EF are predictors of poor functional status one month after a stroke. PMID: 30855702 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
