Article Synopsis
- The study compared stroke subtypes and comorbidities between patients in Brasilia, Brazil, and Cuenca, Spain, revealing significant differences related to age and health conditions.
- Spanish stroke patients were generally older and had higher rates of ischemic cardiopathy and atrial fibrillation, while Brazilian patients had more atherothrombotic and lacunar strokes.
- The findings suggest that increased age in Spanish patients correlates with greater comorbidities and functional dependence post-stroke, highlighting the evolving nature of stroke epidemiology in different regions.
