Abstract:
Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP), the most common infection complication after stroke, may be associated with immunosuppression caused by post-stroke sympathetic system overactivity. This review discusses the relationship between sympathetic overactivity and SAP. In addition, the evaluation method of sympathetic nervous system activity and the application value of adrenergic receptor blockers are also described.
