Why the study?

Stroke is a known complication following MI associated with increased mortality, but its true cumulative incidence, subtypes, and associated mortality required establishment in a contemporary setting among ACS patients.

Overview

Highlights ongoing post-ACS stroke risk for clinicians; extends short-term data but leaves optimal long-term prevention open.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients treated for acute coronary syndrome (ACS)

Outcome

Cumulative incidence of stroke and its subtypes and the associated mortalityhard clinical

The long-term risk of stroke following acute coronary syndrome remains notable, reaching 10.3% at 13 years, with the vast majority being ischemic strokes.
