#BrainHeartLab in cooperation with Dr. Michela Rosso and Prof. Scott Kasner from University of Pennsylvania investigated the differences between women and men in the context of Stroke Heart Syndrome: women showed a higher risk of developing acute myocardial injury after stroke than men. Furthermore, acute myocardial injury was associated with higher in-hospital mortality and worse functional outcome in women.
#BrainHeartLab investigated the relationship between stroke lesion size and the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF detected after stroke: AFDAS): larger stroke lesions were associated with a higher rate of AFDAS in this retrospective analysis – now published in the Journal of American Heart Association.
#BrainHeart Lab Contribution to an International Consensus Statement about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute brain injury caused by cardiovascular interventions – now published in Nature Reviews Cardiology.
Together with leading scientists in the field we published a comprehensive overview on the different cardiac sequelae after stroke and other acute neurological disorders. We focus on different mechanisms and pathways involved in brain heart interaction and how they are affected in acute stroke. We provide a summary of the latest advances in the field of SHS research and pay particular attention to the role of inflammation.
