Cardioembolic stroke: characteristics of cerebral, systemic and intracardial hemodinamics and their interrelations with lesion lateralization

In this clinical-instrumental study abnormalities of blood pressurecircadian changes were described. High incidence of ventriclearrhythmias and episodes of latent AV-nodal conduction wasrevealed. Features of structural-functional heart condition andits interrelation with myocardial electrical instability were studied.Incidence of atherosclerotic lesion, stenosis degree, occurrenceof hypoechogenic plaques were analyzed. Close relationshipbetween myocardial electrical instability, structural-functionalheart condition and cerebral blood flow were assessed.These interrelations indicated the connection between heart andcerebral lesion in patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation.The severity of these lesions and the degree of cardiocerebralinterrelations increase in ischemic stroke, especially inright-sided ischemic lesions.
