Background: Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) is the second cause of death and disability in the world. Heart failure can co-occur with CVA and increases the risk of death and disability in patients. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of heart failure in patients with ischemic stroke. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the information of patients with ischemic stroke was collected in 2016 from their files. They were referred to the Emergency Department of Poursina Hospital. Statistical analysis of data was performed by using descriptive statistical methods. Estimation of mean and frequency was done by SPSS v. 22. Results: A total of 291 patients were recruited in the study. Also, 157 patients (54%) were male, and 134 (46%) were female. The Mean±SD age of patients was 61.68 (12.98) years. Systolic heart failure prevalence was 59.8%, and diastolic heart failure was 65.7%. Conclusion: Based on the findings, more than half of the patients with ischemic stroke also develop heart failure. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient be evaluated and treated for heart failure when faced with ischemic stroke.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the epidemiological pattern of factors associated with ischemic stroke among patients under 50 years old. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was performed on 197 Stroke patients. Individuals with confirmed ischemic stroke based on of CT scan were included in the study. Demographic information included age, sex, history of smoking, place of residence, season of disease incidence, history of contraceptive use in women, history of hypertension, having high blood pressure at the onset of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, heart disease and patient weight. Finally, the collected data was analyzed using SPSS ver. 22. Results: The mean age of participants was 40.18 years. The mean weight, height, body mass index (BMI) were 79.83, 168.63, and 28.12, respectively. A total of 60.4% of the participants were male and 39.6% were female. Moreover, 66.9% were urban residents, 38.6% had complications in winter, 67% were smokers, and 50% used contraceptives. The history of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and heart disease was seen in 69%, 49.7, 66%, and 73.6% of cases, respectively. Also, 53.8% of patients had high blood pressure upon admission. Conclusion: The present study showed that a history of heart disease and a history of hypertension in the past and nicotine use are very common in people with stroke. Considering the above mentioned epidemiological factors, it is recommended to prioritize the mentioned factors when identifying new cases

ABSTRACT Context: Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and apolipoproteins have been found as a risk factor for ischemic stroke . Objective: The objective was to study the carotid intima-media thickness, apolipoproteins, and their relation in patients of ischemic stroke in central rural India. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study was performed in a rural hospital in central India. Materials and Methods: In all patients of ischemic stroke proven by computerized tomography (CT), CIMT, apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), and apolipoprotein B(ApoB) were measured. Statistical Analysis Used: We used Student′s t-test to compare means, a chi-square test to compare proportions, and a Mann-Whitney test to compare medians. A P value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean age of our study population (N = 106) was 61 years. The mean CIMT was 0.83 mm ranging from a minimum of 0.45 mm to a maximum of 1.096 mm. Mean CIMT was significantly higher than expected 0.67 values, which was calculated according to the age of the study population. The association of decreased ApoA-I < 100 mg/dl and increased ApoB > 90 mg/dl with CIMT > 0.7 mm was statistically significant with P<0.001. Conclusions: The CIMT in computerized tomography-proven ischemic stroke was significantly higher than expected for the age of the study population. The relation of decreased ApoA-I and increased ApoB with CIMT > 0.7 mm was also statistically significant.

Background: Stroke is the third most common cause of mortality if considered separately from other cardiovascular diseases across the world. Uric acid also has neuro protective effect and has been postulated in increased risk of insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk. With this background, conducted a study to understand the clinical profile of ischemic stroke and its correlation with serum uric acid in setup.Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital from October 2016 to September 2018. A total of 75 patients with history of acute stroke were included in the study after obtaining informed consent. Clinical data including demographic data, age and sex of the patients was taken. Also, history of diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension and Ischemic Heart Disease was noted. Relevant investigations were done and noted.Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 57.53 ± 10.23 years with male preponderance. The mean body mass index was 26.58 ± 2.86 in our study. Risk factors like hypertension were present in 70.67%, TIA was present in 6.67%, 22.67% had diabetes mellitus and smoking was present in 48% of the patients. About 54.67% of the subjects had high uric acid levels in our study. Not found any significant relation between the uric acid levels and different risk factors.Conclusion: The average age of the ischemic stroke incidence was between 5th to 6th decades in the present study. Males had higher risk when compared females which were consistent with various studies conducted across the world. Not found any significant association between the uric acid levels and various risk factors for ischemic stroke. Uric acid was found to higher among these patients.
