Aim: This study investigated demographic and clinical risk factors associated with severity in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with a history of coronary artery disease (CAD). Materials & methods: Multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine specific factors associated with worsening or improving neurologic functions among AIS patients with CAD treated in the telestroke. Results: AIS patients with CAD, peripheral vascular disease (OR: 3.995; 95% CI: 1.035-15.413; p = 0.044) and hypertension (OR: 6.056; 95% CI: 1.207-30.374; p = 0.029) were associated with worsening neurologic functions. Conclusion: Our findings suggest the need to develop strategic management to improve the care of AIS patients with a history of CAD that present with hypertension and peripheral vascular disease in the telestroke network.
