This study highlights that acute myocardial infarction (MI) can rarely present as stroke. Urgent electrocardiograms (EKGs) are crucial for acute stroke patients to detect underlying MI, which requires different treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Acute myocardial infarction (MI) and acute stroke are critical cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
  • While distinct, these conditions can occasionally present atypically, complicating diagnosis and management.
  • Understanding the overlap and specific presentations is vital for timely and appropriate patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the incidence and presentation of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in patients initially presenting with stroke.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering MI in stroke patients, even without typical MI symptoms.
  • To underscore the necessity of prompt electrocardiogram (EKG) in acute stroke evaluations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of a subset of patients presenting with stroke.

  • Examination of patients who subsequently were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (MI).
  • Review of clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and initial management strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • A small percentage of patients experienced acute stroke in the context of acute MI (0.5%).
    • A slightly higher percentage of total MI cases presented initially as stroke (1.6%).
    • Notably, 22% of 'stroke complicating MI' cases presented as stroke at the time of admission.

    Conclusions:

    • Acute myocardial infarction (MI) can manifest as an acute stroke, representing a rare but significant clinical scenario.
    • Urgent electrocardiogram (EKG) is essential in all acute stroke evaluations to identify potential co-existing or presenting MI.
    • Treatment protocols for acute MI differ significantly from those for stroke, necessitating accurate and rapid diagnosis.
