Neurogenic Cardiac Outcome in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: The Brain-Heart Connection

This study aims to identify the association between cardiac outcomes and middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemic stroke, with or without insular cortex involvement, as well as the impact of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after AIS on recurrent stroke. 
Neurogenic cardiac impairment can occur after acute ischemic stroke (AIS), but the mapping of the neuroanatomic correlation of stroke-related myocardial injury remains uncertain.
Serial measurements of cTnI, BNP, cardiac monitoring, and echocardiography were performed on 415 patients with MRI-confirmed MCA stroke, with or without insular involvement. Patients with renal failure, recent cardiovascular events, or congestive heart failure were excluded. 

115 patients (28%) had left MCA infarcts with insular involvement, 122 (29%) had right MCA infarcts involving insular cortex, and 178 (43%) had no insular involvement. Patients with left MCA stroke with insular involvement tended to exhibit higher BNP and cTnI, and transient cardiac dysfunction, which mimicked Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in 10 patients with left ventricular ejection fraction of 20-40%. Incidence of new-onset AF was higher in right MCA stroke involving insula (77%) than left MCA  involving insula (23%). 9/51 patients with new-onset AF were not on anticoagulant therapy due to various reasons; none of them experienced cardiovascular events, recurrent AF, or  stroke during 3-year follow-up period. Statistically significant correlations between BNP or cTnI elevation and the severity of left insular damage, and the incidence of AF and right insular infarcts, were revealed using linear regression analysis. 
The present study shows that the incidence of new-onset AF is significantly higher in patients with right MCA stroke involving insula, while patients with left MCA AIS with insular involvement demonstrated more cardiac dysfunction. There was no increased risk of recurrent ischemic stroke in 9 patients with new-onset AF not on anticoagulant therapy, which indicated a need for further research on presumed neurogenic AF and its management.
