Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : This study investigated stroke lesions and their relationship with warning signs and risk factors in stroke patients.
Methods : Three hundred fifty-three stroke patients were recruited at the Department of Cardiovascular and Neurologic Diseases (stroke center) of Kyung Hee University Oriental hospital from October 2005 to July 2007. We evaluated their stroke lesions with brain MRI, their warning signs, and risk factors.
Results : 353 subjects were included in the final analysis. The frequency of diabetes was found more in presence of brain stem lesion than without. The cortex lesion showed a close relationship with smoking, drinking and the frequency of one side paralysis or weakness. These were more common in males than in females.
Conclusions : We observed stroke lesions and their characteristics in stroke patients. The subjects’ brain lesions seemed affectedby the risk factors. A concrete conclusion can hardly be drawn from this study; additional research is necessary.
