Ultrasonic evaluation of movement of the diaphragm after acute cerebral infarction.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the diaphragmatic excursion of 50 patients within 72 hours of acute stroke and 40 controls and found that during deep inspiration, there was a significant bilateral reduction in hemi-diaphragm excursion in patients with stroke, for both right hemispheric stroke and left hemischen stroke when compared with controls.

TL;DR: High-risk (≥2) pre-stroke CHA2 and CHA-VASc scores are both associated with 3-month mortality and high-risk pre- strokes following serious cardiac outcomes following acute ischaemic stroke is high sensitivity for mortality.

TL;DR: Delayed detection of AF was common in this large cohort of patients carefully monitored after ischemic stroke and was associated with increasing age and female sex, and the absence of hypertension.

Effect of Perindopril on Cerebral and Renal Perfusion in Stroke Patients With Carotid Disease
TL;DR: Perindopril lowers BP without lowering CBF in hypertensive stroke patients with moderate to severe ICA stenosis or occlusion; monitoring of this patient population for the complications of renal artery stenosis should be considered.
