Right-hemisphere strokes may cause greater autonomic dysfunction than left-hemisphere or brainstem strokes. This suggests location-dependent differences in cardio-autonomic control after ischaemic stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cardiology
  • Autonomic Nervous System

Background:

  • Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction is a frequent complication following acute cerebrovascular events.
  • The impact of stroke location on autonomic function remains incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate potential location-dependent variations in cardio-autonomic function in patients diagnosed with ischaemic stroke.
  • To assess differences in sympathetic nervous system activity based on stroke laterality (left vs. right hemisphere) and location (brainstem/cerebellum).

Main Methods:

  • Prospective assessment of sympathetic function using plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine levels.
  • Categorization of patients into left-hemisphere (LH), right-hemisphere (RH), and brainstem/cerebellar (BS) stroke groups.

  • Monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, and middle cerebral artery flow velocity within the initial 5 days post-stroke.

    • Main Results:

    • Ischaemic stroke initially elevated sympathetic function across all groups.
    • A spontaneous decrease in norepinephrine was observed only in LH and BS stroke groups.
    • Significantly higher norepinephrine levels were found in the RH stroke group compared to the BS stroke group.
    • RH stroke was associated with sustained elevations in cardiovascular parameters, indicating greater autonomic dysfunction.

    Conclusions:

    • Plasma catecholamine measurements are a viable method for monitoring location-dependent autonomic dysfunction in ischaemic stroke patients.
    • Hemispheric lateralization of autonomic control is crucial; RH stroke patients exhibit increased susceptibility to cardio-autonomic dysfunction.
    • Clinical management of stroke should consider lateralized autonomic control to address heightened risks in RH stroke patients.
