Abstract :
Left atrial enlargement has been reported to be
associated with ischemic stroke. Limited data are
available on the relationship of Left atrial size and
Cardiogenic embolic stroke. Our aim is to access the
association of left atrial size and the occcurrence of acute
ischemic stroke.
Methods:
A cross sectional, comparative, analytical, hospital
based study was carried out from 2018 to 2019 in Bir
Hospital. A total of 93 patients of ischemic stroke were
enrolled and 93 patients without stroke were taken as
control. Transthorasic Echocardiography was done in
every patients and Left atrial diameter was measured
according to American echocardiography guidelines. The
data were recorded in Excel a sheet and analyzed by SPSS
Keywords :
Ischemic stroke; Left atrial enlargement; risk factors.
