Article Synopsis
- Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a serious complication in COVID-19 patients, with a study showing it occurred in 2.31% of hospitalized patients, primarily affecting older individuals with existing health issues.
- The study analyzed 693 COVID-19 patients from April 2020 to February 2021, revealing that many AIS cases arose within the first 24 hours, led by total anterior circulation infarction and cardioembolic causes.
- Patients with AIS had a higher prevalence of hypertension and heart disease, with a significant mortality rate, highlighting the need for awareness and monitoring for stroke risks in COVID-19 cases, particularly in older adults.
