Mild to severe heart muscle impairment linked to higher stroke risk

g an evaluation for some unrelated condition, Di Tullio said. The study also poses a treatment-related dilemma.

"What to do next [after diagnosing LVD] is not so clear because there is no evidence that treating these patients with the drugs we use to treat heart failure would change the risk of stroke," Di Tullio said.

The authors emphasized that further studies are required to assess whether drug treatment could lessen the chance of stroke associated with LVD. How LVD increases ischemic stroke risk is unclear.

The researchers are conducting a follow-up study involving stroke-free people who have been evaluated by echocardiography. By following them over time, Di Tullio and his associates hope to further clarify the association between LVD and stroke by defining the annual risk of stroke associated with LVD of different degrees.
