Why the study?
To evaluate two-year survival in patients after an acute cerebrovascular event or transient ischemic attack according to the presence or absence of chronic heart failure and identify factors influencing survival.
Does the presence of chronic heart failure affect long-term mortality in patients with an acute cerebrovascular event?
Does the presence of chronic heart failure affect long-term mortality in patients with an acute cerebrovascular event?
Mortality after an acute cerebrovascular event did not differ significantly between patients with and without chronic heart failure, potentially due to more frequent outpatient follow-up in the CHF group.
Similar mortality after cerebrovascular events regardless of CHF status; leaves open whether follow-up intensity affects outcomes in observational cohorts.
