Stroke can lead to cardiac complications such as arrhythmia, myocardial injury, and cardiac
dysfunction, collectively termed stroke–heart syndrome (SHS). These cardiac alterations …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia disorder. It can easily lead to
complications such as thromboembolism, palpitations, dizziness, angina, heart failure, and …

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is regarded as the consequence of multiple contributors
involving the process of cognition, mood and autonomic system, with the specific …

Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) detected after insular stroke might arise from autonomic and
inflammatory mechanisms triggered by insular damage, and be associated with a low …

Objectives Patients with stroke often remain bedridden despite rehabilitation. Serum N-
terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) levels increase after stroke. Our study …

Background There has been a gradual increase in the occurrence of cardiovascular and
cerebrovascular ischemic diseases, particularly as comorbidities. Yet, the mechanisms …

Background Elevated cardiac troponin (cTn) is detected in 10% to 30% of patients with acute
ischemic stroke (AIS) and correlates with poor functional outcomes. Serial cTn …

Background and purpose Isolated insular strokes (IIS) are a rare occurrence due to the
frequent concomitant involvement of adjacent territories, supplied by the M2 segment of the …

Since the introduction of cardiac troponin (cTn) as-says into the clinical arena, there have
been questions about the cTn increases observed among patients with acute …

The heart, brain, and mind are inextricably linked. Atrial fibrillation causes cardioembolic
stroke, depression leads to increased cardiovascular disease, and mindfulness is a novel …
