Abstract T P118: Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction as Prognostic Factor of Functional Outcome in Ischemic Stroke

2015 
Background: Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of functional disability worldwide. Few studies have evaluated the relationship between Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction (LVEF) and the functional outcome after ischemic Stroke, however it has been shown that there is an important correlation between LVEF and Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF). The effects of LVEF on CBF may have critical implications on the post-ischemic brain. Objective: To determine if LVEF can be used as a prognostic factor in ischemic stroke Methods: We carried out a prospective, analytic, cohort study. We included stroke patients from our Neurovascular Resgistry (iReNe). We only included patients with complete information and that agreed to participate in the study. LVEF was measured during patients’ in-hospital stay. Clinical Follow up was done at 3 and 12 months using the modified Rankin Scale (mRs). Results: We included 129 patients with follow up at 3 months, from these, 69.5% of them had follow up at 12 months. Our study population was comp...
