Insights
Cardiac death is common in hemorrhagic stroke patients, with myocardial infarction and arrhythmias being significant causes. Females and the elderly are at higher risk, requiring closer monitoring.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Neurology
- Public Health
Background:
- Cardiac complications following stroke are understudied, particularly in hemorrhagic stroke.
- Understanding cardiac death incidence and risk factors in hemorrhagic stroke is crucial for patient outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the incidence and risk factors of cardiac death in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.
- To compare cardiac death rates between hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke populations.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the CDC Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) database.
- Analyzed death certificates from 2006-2010, identifying hemorrhagic stroke (ICD-10 I60-62) and ischemic stroke (ICD-10 I63).
- Evaluated the frequency of myocardial infarction (ICD-10 I20-25) and arrhythmias (ICD-10 I44-45, I47-49) as causes of death.
Main Results:
- Over 224,000 hemorrhagic stroke death certificates were identified.
- Myocardial infarction (MI) was the cause of death in 8.95% and arrhythmia in 7.28% of hemorrhagic stroke patients.
- Cardiac death incidence was lower in hemorrhagic stroke compared to ischemic stroke, but higher for arrhythmias in hospitalized patients.
Conclusions:
- A significant proportion of hemorrhagic stroke deaths are cardiac-related.
- Females and the elderly represent high-risk groups requiring focused monitoring.
- Further research and clinical attention are needed for cardiac complications in hemorrhagic stroke.
Abstract:
Literature regarding cardiac deaths in hemorrhagic stroke patients is few. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors of cardiac death in hemorrhagic stroke patients. We used the multiple causes of death database from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging Online Data of the United States. We identified death certificates from 2006 to 2010 with hemorrhagic stroke (International Classification of Disease, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) code I60-62), or ischemic stroke (ICD-10 code I63), and evaluated the frequency and risk factors of reporting MI (ICD-10 code I20-25) or arrhythmias (ICD-10 code I44-45, I47-49) as the main cause of death in these populations. Over the five-year period, 224,359 death certificates that mentioned hemorrhagic stroke were identified, and the cause of death was MI in 8.95% and arrhythmia in 7.28% patients. With autopsy confirmation, the incidences of MI and arrhythmias in the hemorrhagic stroke group were still lower than the ischemic group. The odds ratio of reporting arrhythmias as a cause of death in hospitalized population was higher. A substantial percentage of hemorrhagic stroke patients had cardiac death. Greater efforts are needed to closely monitor high-risk groups such as females and the elderly.
