Plasma bone morphogenetic proteins 9 and major cardiovascular events and mortality after acute ischemic stroke: a prospective multicenter study

Key Points

• Major cardiovascular events significantly increase mortality risk after acute ischemic stroke.
• In stroke patients, elevated plasma bone morphogenetic proteins are associated with poorer outcomes.
• Prospective multicenter study analyzes data from multiple hospitals to evaluate patient outcomes.
• This highlights the importance of monitoring plasma BMPs in stroke management for better patient care.
