The negative cardiac outcome in patients with acute stroke remains inconclusive and mixed. No data were reported on neurogenic cardiac insult in patients with acute noninsular ischemic stroke, specifically cerebellar stroke, and its impact on cardiac function.
We reported that 4 patients who were healthy at baseline developed transient cardiac stunning after acute ischemic cerebellar stroke. Patients' electrocardiograms and cardiac enzyme levels were normal, and no cardiac intervention was performed because of the presumed neurogenic cardiac outcome. Their cardiac dysfunction spontaneously returned to normal range within 2 to 3 months, as demonstrated by repeated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging or echocardiography.
Although acute stroke involving the insular cortex is a common cause of cardiac stunning, strokes of other territories, such as cerebellar stroke, as shown in this case series report, can also cause neurogenic cardiac dysfunction and should not be overlooked.
急性卒中患者的不良心脏结局尚无定论且存在混杂情况。目前尚无关于急性非岛叶缺血性卒中(特别是小脑卒中)患者神经源性心脏损伤及其对心脏功能影响的数据报道。
我们报告了4例基线时健康的患者在急性缺血性小脑卒中后出现短暂性心脏顿抑。患者的心电图和心肌酶水平正常,由于推测为神经源性心脏结局,未进行心脏干预。重复的心脏磁共振成像或超声心动图显示,他们的心脏功能障碍在2至3个月内自发恢复到正常范围。
虽然累及岛叶皮质的急性卒中是心脏顿抑的常见原因,但如本病例系列报告所示,其他区域的卒中,如小脑卒中,也可导致神经源性心脏功能障碍,不应被忽视。
