Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of cardiac function and renal function on early neurological function recovery of acute stroke patients.Methods Hospitalized acute stroke patients from January 2010 to May 2018 were recruited in the Department of Neurology,Peking University First Hospital,who were divided into two groups according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at discharge,good recovery (mRS score ≤2) and poor recovery (mRS score ＞2).The clinical characteristics,laboratory and echocardiography data were collected respectively.All cases were classified according to Trial of Org 10 172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria.Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated by chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration equation in renal function assessment,and cardiac function was calculated by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVFF) and E-wave/A-wave ratio (E/A).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis and stratified analysis were performed to explore the effects of cardiac and renal function and interactions on stroke patients.Results A total of 517 patients with acute stroke were enrolled in this study,23.4％ (121/517) of which presented with chronic kidney disease.Poor recovery was aggravated with the progression of eGFR stage in patients with acute stroke (x2=14.627,P=0.001).Compared with the good recovery group,LVEF and E/A were significantly lower in the poor recovery group,while left atrium diameter ((3.87±0.52) cm vs (3.77±0.49) cm,t=-2.139,P=0.033),interventricular septum thickness ((1.10±0.19) cm vs (1.04±0.16) cm,t=-4.056,P=0.000),left ventricular posterior wall thickness ((1.00±0.13) cm vs (0.98±0.13) cm,t=-2.190,P=0.029) and left ventricular mass index ((102.03±25.73) g/m2 vs (94.94±23.63) g/m2,t=-3.145,P=0.002) were significantly higher in the poor recovery group.Stratified analysis showed that the rate of poor recovery increased with the decrease of eGFR at different levels of LVEF and E/A.Compared with patients of normal renal function and mild impairment of renal function or with patients of high third tertile of LVEF,chronic kidney disease significantly increased the rate of poor recovery in patients with low third tertile of LVEF,while the rate of poor recovery was not significantly different in patients with chronic kidney disease among third tertile of E/A.The levels of eGFR and LVEF in different stroke subtypes were significantly different (F=7.433,P=0.000;F=2.617,P=0.034).The eGFR and LVEF levels of the cardioembolism (CE) group were the lowest compared with other subtypes of stroke.The eGFR levels in the CE group were significantly lower than that in other subtypes except the large artery atherosclerosis group,and the LVEF level was significantly lower in the CE group compared to the small artery occlusion group.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that eGFR (OR=0.866,95％CI 0.760-0.987,P=0.031),LVEF (OR=0.798,95％CI 0.688-0.925,P=0.003),E/A (OR=0.136,95％CI 0.034-0.548,P=0.005) and eGFR by LVEF (OR=1.002,95％CI 1.000-1.004,P=0.022) were significantly associated with early functional outcome in patients with acute stroke after adjusting for relevant clinical confounders (all P＜0.05).Conclusions Renal function,cardiac systolic and diastolic function were associated with the early functional recovery in patients with acute stroke.Moreover,cardiac systolic dysfunction and renal dysfunction interacted significantly with the early neurological function recovery in patients with acute stroke.
