Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation of cognitive impairment with ischemic strokeinducing cerebral artery,in order to predict and find the correlations between different cognitive dysfunction and different intracranial arterial occlusion.Methods We used Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to evaluate neuropsychological statuses in the 250 patients,who developed first time acute myocardial infarction for 2 weeks.MoCA scores and other neuropsychological cognitive assessment scores were recorded.Patients were grouped by the location of intracranial arterial occlusion.The neuropsychological cognitive assessment results were analyzed between groups.Results Middle cerebral artery occlusion was correlated with impairments of visual spatial/executive,attention,language and memory (B=-1.875 ~-1.094,P<0.05).Anterior cerebral artery and vertebral basilar artery occlusion had correlations with attention impairment (B =-3.977,B =-1.833,P<0.01).Posterior cerebral artery occlusion could cause visual spatial/executive,language and memory impairment(B=-1.714 ~-1.095,P<0.05).No correlation of cognitive impairment characteristics with anterior choroidal artery occlusion was found.Conclusions Different arterial occlusion can cause different characteristics of impairment in cognitive function,which can help to predict cognitive impairment after sub-acute stroke.It suggests that some cognitive assessments must be conducted in sub-acute stroke management.
