Aims:
To evaluate whether visual field impairment (VFI) can predict stroke recurrence in patients with vertebral-basilar (VB) stroke.
Methods:
A total of 326 patients were eligible for a VFI evaluation within 1 week of stroke onset. One-year follow-up data were obtained after VB stroke and other vascular events. All predictors were determined using Cox regression models.
Results:
The overall incidence of recurrent VB stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) was 29% (n = 92). After multivariate adjustment, severe and moderate VFI were predictors of recurrent VB stroke and TIA.
Conclusions:
VFI is an independent predictor of recurrent VB stroke and TIA.

Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
