title: [Cardiologic risk factors for stroke].
abstract: The aim of this work was to investigate the cardiologic risk factors for stroke. 232 patients were studied. All of them had a stroke. There were 133 males and 99 females. The most often observed cardiologic risk factor for stroke was ischaemic heart disease, which was present in 48.2% of all the cases. Usually ischaemic heart disease was observed as stable angina pectoris (34.4%) and past cardiac infarction (9.9%). Dysrrhythmia and conduction abnormalities were present in 46.1% of cases, mostly as premature ventricular beats (13.4%) and atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter (12.5%). Congenital and acquired heart diseases (11.6%) and chronic circulatory failure (15.9%) were recognized in lower per cent of the cases. The assessments of other authors and our observations evidence the relevance of cardiologic risk factors in stroke.
