Abstract

Since antiquity, the interaction of brain and heart has inspired physicians and philosophers. Today, our knowledge has vastly improved, but the exact way of their interaction still holds many secrets to reveal. The interaction between brain and heart merits particular attention in the aftermath of a sudden injury to the brain-like acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This narrative review gives an overview of current knowledge on frequency, prognosis, and potential pathophysiological mechanisms of myocardial injury following AIS.
Keywords: heart-and-brain interaction; acute ischemic stroke; cardiac cTn; stroke–heart syndrome; myocardial infarction heart-and-brain interaction; acute ischemic stroke; cardiac cTn; stroke–heart syndrome; myocardial infarction
