| Summary: | <p><strong>Background and Purpose</strong>: The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation of cTn levels in the</p><p>acute phase of ischemic stroke with the extent of stroke, the degree of disability assessed on the modified Rankin Scale, and their prognostic signifi cance.</p><p><strong>Methods</strong>: Patients were divided into 3 groups: (A) ischemic strokes, (B) ischemic strokes followed</p><p>by hemorrhagic transformation, and (C) hemorrhagic strokes, excluding patients with symptoms of acute</p><p>coronary syndrome. Cardiac troponin levels (cTn) were determined by venipuncture using the Abbott</p><p>ARCHITECT STAT hs Troponin-I assay.</p><p><br></p> |
