Cardiovascular autonomic and hormonal dysregulation in ischemic stroke with an emphasis on survival

Published 2005 in International Journal of Circumpolar Health

ABSTRACT

Abstract Ischemic stroke is associated with cardiovascular autonomic nervous system (ANS) disturbances, including reduced heart rate (HR) variability and acute phase neurohumoral activation with elevated stress hormone levels. The impact of HR variability and neurohumoral factors such as natriuretic peptides on the long-term survival of patients with ischemic stroke has not been studied previously. This study was designed to evaluate cardiovascular autonomic regulation in ischemic stroke patients by assessing HR dynamics and various neurohumoral factors. The values of the assessed variables in predicting mortality were evaluated.
