Stroke Location and Association With Fatal Cardiac Outcomes: Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS)
Stroke 39:2425-2431, Rincon,F.,et al., 2008

Article Abstract
Parietal lobe infarction is an independent predictor of long-term cardiac death or MI in this population. Further studies are needed to confirm whether parietal lobe infarction is an independent predictor of cardiac events and death. Surveillance for cardiac disease and implementation of cardioprotective therapies may reduce cardiac mortality in patients with parietal stroke.
