[Prognostic Factors of Cardiovascular Complications After Ischemic Stroke].

We included into prospective cohort observational study 148 patients with ischemic stroke aged 60 [52; 68] years. Duration of a prospective follow-up was 35 [28; 40] months. Cardiovascular events (CVE) registered during follow-up were recurrent stroke, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, including acute decompensation of chronic heart failure requiring hospitalization, cardiovascular death. During follow-up 37 patients (25%) had 50 CVE. On multivariate regression analysis, independent predictors of CVE after ischemic stroke were: age over 67 years, presence of chronic ischemic heart disease, high grade ventricular arrhythmias, standard deviation of cardiointervals (SDNN) less than 71 ms, absence of thiazide diuretics in the basic antihypertensive therapy.
