Ischemic Stroke After Acute Myocardial Infarction Stroke 28:762-767, Mooe,T.,et al, 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The risk of stroke is highest the first five days after MI.Only approximately half of the strokes occurring the first month after an MI are preceded by an anterior MI.The most important predictors of MI-related stroke are atrial fibrillation(chronic or new onset),ST elevation,and a history of a previous stroke.There is a long term trend toward a lower incidence of MI-related stroke.These findings have important implications concerning both the pathophysiology and prevention of MI-related stroke.
