ASSOCIATION OF LEFT ATRIAL ENLARGEMENT WITH THE ONSET OF STROKE IN CRYPTOGENIC STROKE PATIENTS WITH RIGHT-TO-LEFT SHUNT

Objective To investigate the association between right-to-left shunt (RLS) and left atrial enlargement (LAE) and in cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients with RLS, as well as the association between LAE and the onset of stroke in CS patients with RLS. Methods General information and cardiac parameters on...

Summary:Objective To investigate the association between right-to-left shunt (RLS) and left atrial enlargement (LAE) and in cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients with RLS, as well as the association between LAE and the onset of stroke in CS patients with RLS. Methods General information and cardiac parameters on transthoracic echocardiography were collected from 211 CS patients (CS group) and 211 non-stroke patients (control group) who were admitted to department of neurology of our hospital, from May 2016 to December 2022, and transcranial Doppler was used to determine the presence or absence of RLS and the degree of RLS. According to the presence or absence of RLS, the patients in the CS group were further divided into CSRLS-positive group and CSRLS-negative group, and the patients in the control group were further divided into RLS-positive control group and RLS-negative control group; according to the degree of RLS, the CSRLS-positive group was further divided into severe RLS group and mild RLS group.
