Relationship of electrocardiographic changes and severity of acute cerebral ischemic stroke in old patients: A clinical observational study

This study was aim to provide referential data for this topic. Totally 200 old patients with acute CIS in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were included into this study. According to the ST-T segment changes in ECG, these patients were divided into 3 groups: persistent ischemic group (n = 38), transient ischemic group (n = 106) and non-ischemic group (n = 56). The characteristics and incidence of abnormal ECG and their relationship with disease severity, infarct size and prognosis were respectively analyzed under the severe, moderate and mild type of disease. The ECG changes of patients were mainly characterized by myocardial ischemic ST-T segment changes with a abnormal ECG incidence of 72.00%, the arrhythmia with a abnormal ECG incidence of 9.50%, which were the second most common in clinical features. There were statistically significant differences of myocardial ischemic ST-T segment changes among different disease severity, infarct size and prognosis of acute CIS patients (P
