Abstract
It is known that approximately up to one third of patients will have an elevated troponin at the time of acute ischemic stroke. This has led to the debate whether a serum troponin level should be obtained in the setting of AIS, particularly in the case where there are no signs of acute coronary syndrome (the majority). Often troponin elevations are “explained away” citing other acute co-parameters. In this study we sought to determine which acute parameters are associated with troponin elevation in acute ischemic stroke.
