Ischemic Stroke and Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Optimize Brain and Cardiac Health.
Katelyn F McNamaraAlexander E MerklerJames V FreemanHarlan M KrumholzTariq AhmadRicha SharmaPublished in: Stroke (2024)
Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%, a known risk factor for adverse cardiac outcomes and recurrent acute ischemic stroke, may be detected during an acute ischemic stroke hospitalization. A multidisciplinary care paradigm informed by neurology and cardiology expertise may facilitate the timely implementation of an array of proven heart failure-specific therapies and procedures in a nuanced manner to optimize brain and cardiac health.
