Abstract

Background: Cardioembolic strokes are a common cause of mortality and morbidity because they are usually big and multiple. Despite extensive advances in the determination and management of modifiable risk factors of these strokes, a significant proportion are attributed to non-modifiable factors. We wanted to test the hypothesis that cardioembolic strokes and no other subtypes of ischemic stroke are associated with inclement weather in Kashmir Valley where winter seasons have harsh weather. Results: A total of 540 ischemic stroke patients were included in the study of which cardioembolic strokes were most common. Cardioembolic strokes were more common in the winter season and associated with lower minimum and maximum temperatures. Conclusion: Evaluation and management of cardioembolic strokes during winter months may demand more attention, particularly in elderly individuals and those with risk factors for atrial fibrillation.

恶劣天气是否会增加克什米尔山谷心肌栓塞性中风的风险?
背景:心肌栓塞性脑卒中是导致死亡和发病的常见原因,因为它们通常是大面积和多发性的。尽管在确定和管理这些脑卒中的可改变风险因素方面取得了巨大进步,但仍有很大一部分脑卒中是由不可改变因素引起的。在冬季气候恶劣的克什米尔山谷,我们想验证一个假设,即心肌栓塞性脑卒中(而非其他亚型缺血性脑卒中)与恶劣天气有关。结果:研究共纳入了 540 名缺血性中风患者,其中心肌栓塞性中风最为常见。心肌栓塞性中风在冬季更为常见,且与最低和最高气温较低有关。结论冬季心肌栓塞性中风的评估和管理可能需要更多关注,尤其是老年人和有心房颤动风险因素的患者。
