[Specific markers of myocardial injury in acute stroke].

Introduction: It is thought that any acute damage to the central nervous system and, more particularly, acute cerebrovascular disease (ACVD) can give rise to a myocardial lesion. Our aim is to apply the latest biochemical markers (troponin T, troponin I and myoglobin) to the study of this problem.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 42 patients who were consecutively admitted to hospital with ACVD.
