Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The incidence and risk factors for cerebral infarction in Japanese patients with acute myocardial infarction were evaluated. Seven (5.0%) of 140 patients with acute myocardial infarction suffered from cerebral infarction during their initial hospitalization. The incidence was slightly higher than those reported in Western countries. Anterior wall myocardial infarction and a past history of cerebrovascular disease were considered to be probable risk factors for the complication. A beneficial effect of anticoagulant therapy in preventing cerebral infarction in cases of acute myocardial infarction with those risk factors is suggested.
