[Cardiac pathology in various in various pathogenetic subtypes of ischemic stroke].

Heart pathology was studied in various pathogenetic subtypes of ischemic stroke. A total of 330 stroke patients were divided into 4 groups. Group 1 consisted of 104 (31.5%) patients with cardioembolic stroke, group 2--of 72 (21.8%) with hemodynamic, group 3--of 71 (21.5%) patients with atherothrombotic and group 4--of 83 (25.2%) patients with lacunar stroke. Cardiac pathology was found in all patients of group 1 (ischemic heart disease-50.0%, inflammatory-infectious lesions-27.9%, other lesions-22.1%), in 49 (68.1%) patients of group 2, 36 (50.7%) of group 3 and 31 (37.3%) of group 4. Ischemic heart disease was prevalent (85.7, 86.1, 83.9% vs group 1). Potential sources of cardiogenic cerebral embolia were found in patients of all the groups: 100, 62.5, 43.7 and 33.7%, respectively. Thus, most patients with ischemic stroke have different heart defects related to the subtype of ischemic stroke. Potential causes of cardiocerebral embolism can be detected in any subtype of ischemic stroke.
