Development of a Prognostic Tool for the Stratification of Cardiovascular Risk in Patients With Ischemic Stroke
In Brief
An observational study for Stroke, Ischemic and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 3,500 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The availability of several high-cost strategies for the prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with established cardiovascular disease highlights the necessity of reliable risk stratification of these patients. Several such prognostic models are available for patients with coronary artery disease; however, for patients with ischemic stroke, the available risk stratification schemes are very few and have several limitations. This study aims to develop a prognostication tool to stratify the risk of cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke. The development of a well-designed prognostication tool for the stratification of cardiovascular risk in patients with ischemic stroke may assist to the identification of the highest-risk patients and hence, provide useful information to clinicians and authoritative bodies when prioritizing high-cost strategies for secondary stroke prevention.
