Implication

May flag post-stroke patients for heightened arrhythmia monitoring; leaves open whether insular-specific strategies improve outcomes.

Population

52 patients with brain infarction (stroke)

Outcome

Extent of sympathetic activity (measured by plasma norepinephrine levels, frequency of cardiac arrhythmias, QT prolongation, and circadian blood pressure patterns)surrogate

The extent of insular damage following stroke is a strong predictor of pathological sympathetic activation, including cardiac arrhythmias and QTc prolongation.
