Left Insular Stroke is Associated with Adverse Cardiac Outcome
Neurol 66:477-483, Laowattana,S.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Left insular stroke is associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiac outcome and decreased cardiac wall motion compared to stroke in other locations and TIA. This was particularly marked in patients without symptomatic coronary artery disease (SCAD). In patients with SCAD, the cardioprotective effect of medications, especially betablockers alone or combined with ischemic preconditioning, may explain the lack of association in this subgroup.
