Cardiovascular diseases manifest similar age and sex distribution in the general population and have some commons risk factors with some neuropathies. The aim of this study is to verify whether standard nerve conduction studies show significant differences in a group of poststroke hemiplegic patients, when compared with a control group, in the hypothesis that stroke, as a primary cardiovascular event, could be strongly associated with peripheral nervous system disease. Nerve conduction studies were performed in 15 hemiplegic patients and 10 aged matched control subjects. Percentage of patients showing slowed ulnar and common peroneal motor nerve conduction and lower ulnar sensory nerve action potential was significantly higher in hemiplegic patients. These findings suggest that an overall increased risk of neuropathies could be detected among stroke patients.
心血管疾病在普通人群中的发病年龄和性别分布相似，且与某些神经病变具有一些共同的危险因素。本研究旨在验证在一组中风偏瘫患者中，标准的神经传导研究是否与对照组存在显著差异，我们假设中风作为一种主要的心血管事件，可能与周围神经系统疾病密切相关。对 15 例偏瘫患者和 10 例年龄匹配的对照组进行了神经传导研究。偏瘫患者中，尺神经和腓总神经运动神经传导速度减慢以及尺神经感觉神经动作电位降低的患者比例明显更高。这些发现表明，中风患者的神经病变风险可能会整体增加。
