[The relation between ischemic cerebral stroke and heart diseases].
The aim of the study was to evaluate the relation between heart diseases and ischemic cerebral stroke. In addition to routine tests, echocardiographic examinations were performed in 70 patients with ischemic cerebral stroke and in 30 persons constituting the control group. It was found that heart diseases occurred in 70% of the patients in the group studied i.e. three times more frequently than in the control group. Heart disease confirmed by echocardiography and electrocardiography occurred more frequently in patients with cerebral infarct than in those with RIND. In the majority of cases cardiac valve diseases and/or atrial fibrillation were noted. It was found that in 14.3% of the patients studied, the results of the echocardiography indicated the need for modification of the treatment applied.
