This study identified key cardiologic risk factors for stroke in 232 patients. Ischaemic heart disease and arrhythmias were the most prevalent, highlighting the importance of cardiac health in stroke prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology

Context:

  • Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death worldwide.
  • Understanding cardiologic risk factors is crucial for effective stroke prevention strategies.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the prevalence of specific cardiologic risk factors among stroke patients.
  • To identify the most common cardiac conditions associated with stroke.

Summary:

  • Ischaemic heart disease, including stable angina pectoris and prior myocardial infarction, was the most frequent cardiologic risk factor (48.2%).
  • Arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities, such as premature ventricular beats and atrial fibrillation/flutter, were also highly prevalent (46.1%).
  • Congenital/acquired heart disease (11.6%) and chronic heart failure (15.9%) were less common but still significant factors.

Impact:

  • Findings underscore the critical role of managing cardiac health to mitigate stroke risk.
  • Highlights the need for integrated cardiologic and neurologic care pathways.
  • Provides data to inform public health initiatives and clinical guidelines for stroke prevention.
