Left insular stroke was associated with worse cardiac outcomes at one year compared to non-insular stroke or TIA, whereas right insular involvement did not affect cardiac outcomes.
Does left insular stroke worsen cardiac outcomes compared to non-insular stroke/TIA?
Left insular stroke is associated with worse cardiac outcomes at 1 year compared to non-insular stroke/TIA, highlighting differential cardiovascular regulation by the insulae.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Right and left insulae maintain differential specialization of cardiovascular regulation. Laowattana et al. found that cardiac outcome was worse than in patients with non-insular stroke/TIA during the year following left insular stroke. This persisted on multivariate analysis and in patients without symptomatic coronary artery disease. Right insular involvement did not affect cardiac outcomes.
A Mon, study reported a other. Left insular stroke was associated with worse cardiac outcomes at one year compared to non-insular stroke or TIA, whereas right insular involvement did not affect cardiac outcomes.
