The aim: To evaluate the structural and functional parameters of the cardiovascular system during atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients after a stroke.
Materials and methods: In the main group, we selected 28 patients with non-valvular AF who had previously suffered an ischemic stroke (IS). The comparison group (30
people) included patients with AF without a stroke, comparable in age and gender.
Results: As a result of the study, we discovered an increase in the risk of stroke with an increase in the thickness of the intima-media complex>0.9mm. The thickness of the
interventricular septum was 1.19 (1.1; 1.25) in the group of patients with IS, and in the group of patients without IS – 1.09 (1.0; 1.19) cm (p = 0.019), the thickness of the LV
posterior wall is greater in the main group 1.14 (1.05; 1.24) and 1.09 (1.01; 1.18) cm in the comparison group (p = 0.038). The myocardial mass index is 123.3 in the main group and 107.4 g/m2 in the comparison group (p = 0.41), which indicates left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy in the main group.
Conclusions: thus, during AF in stroke patients, changes in the following structural and functional parameters of the cardiovascular system were discovered: an increase in the thickness of the interventricular septum, thickness of the posterior wall of the LV, and in the thickness of the intima-media complex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
