Impact of cerebrovascular comorbidity on prognosis in Japanese patients undergoing PCI: 1-year data from Japanese multicenter registry (KICS).

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are considered the principal cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide; the effect of stroke-induced cardiac manifestations is well recognized; however, not enough clinical data have been found about the impact of stroke with underlying cardiac disease. This study's objective is to assess the impact of stroke on the prognosis of patients with underlying IHD, who underwent PCI treatment. This was a multicenter, 1-year observational study in patients undergoing PCI in one of the 17 participating centers across Japan.
