Factors Related to Executive Dysfunction after Acute Infarct

Factors Related to Executive Dysfunction after Acute Infarct

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the association of infarct location with post-stroke executive dysfunction. METHODS One hundred seventy-seven patients hospitalized with acute infarction were enrolled. General information and NIHSS score at admission were recorded. The infarct site was recorded from magnetic resonance T2-W1 and FLAIR images, and the extent of white matter disease ...

Fetuin-A is related to infarct size, left ventricular function and remodelling after acute STEMI

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between plasma fetuin-A, an anti-inflammatory glycoprotein which might be involved in myocardial healing after acute infarction, and infarct size, left ventricular (LV) function and dimensions as well as the occurrence of adverse remodelling at 4 months after acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS In this single-centre prosp...
