Associated with autonomic impairment in acute stroke; leaves open whether these measures enhance risk stratification.
Does acute hemispheric ischemic stroke alter deceleration and acceleration capacity of heart rate compared to high-risk controls?
Acute hemispheric ischemic stroke is associated with decreased deceleration and acceleration capacity of heart rate, reflecting impaired vagal and sympathetic modulation that correlates with stroke severity.
