Article Title: Neurologic complications of myocardial infarction
Abstract: Cardiac disease, in particular coronary artery disease, is the leading cause of mortality in developed nations. Strokes can complicate cardiac disease - either as result of left ventricular dysfunction and associated thrombus formation or of therapy for the cardiac disease. Antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants routinely used to treat cardiac disease increase the risk for hemorrhagic stroke.
