Why the study?
Recent study showed the Essen risk score could predict myocardial infarction, prompting this study to compare its ability to predict cerebrovascular events versus cardiovascular events.
Does the Essen score predict combined vascular events and cardiac events in patients with acute ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack?
Does the Essen score predict combined vascular events and cardiac events in patients with acute ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack?
The Essen score is potentially more suitable for risk stratification of cardiovascular events than cerebrovascular events in patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Essen score may better stratify post-stroke cardiovascular than cerebrovascular risk; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
