This assessment reveals that left ventricular dysfunction increases in-hospital mortality in stroke patients, suggesting early echocardiography can help identify high-risk individuals.
Left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) is prevalent among acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients and is significantly associated with poor outcomes. This study evaluated 80 AIS patients to determine the prognostic role of LVD. Severe LVD (EF ≤30%) showed a strong correlation with in-hospital mortality (χ² = 39.88, p < 0.0001). Hypertension and coronary artery disease were major risk factors. Early echocardiography can identify high-risk patients for timely intervention.
