The importance of atrial fibrillation and selected echocardiographic parameters for the effectiveness and safety of thrombolytic therapy in patients with stroke.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The efficacy and safety of thrombolytic therapy in stroke depend on multiple factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of atrial fibrillation the prognosis in terms of the functional status in patients with stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis. An additional aim was also to assess the potential significance of reduced ejection fraction (EF) and enlarged left atrium (LA) of the heart for the prognosis in patients with stroke who underwent thrombolytic therapy. METHODOLOGY:A prospective study involved enrollment of 222 patients, mean age of 72 years with first-in-life ischemic stroke. In all participants there were realized procedures as follows: neurological status before administering rt-PA (NIHSS), selected echocardiographic parameters, functional status on the 14th day from the onset (mRankin scale) and analysis the bleeding events. RESULTS:Atrial fibrillation was significantly more frequent in women than men; females had higher CHA2DS2VASc scores and heavier neurological conditions on day 1 of stroke. Two independent factors for poor prognosis (3-5 points by mRankin) were found: the NIHSS score and the CHA2DS2VASc score ≥3. We identified 2 independent factors for death within 14 days from the onset: the result by NIHSS and the EF. The NIHSS score turned out to be the only independent predictor of hemorrhage during hospitalization: RR 1.19; CI [1.06-1.33]; p=0.003; p for model=0.0025. CONCLUSIONS:The presence of atrial fibrillation worsens the patient's prognosis in terms of the functional status and survival during the acute period of stroke in patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis. Higher NIHSS and CHA2DS2VASc scores and reduced EF in patients with stroke treated with thrombolysis are the predictors of unfavorable short-term prognosis.
