Abstract
High plasma BNP levels and left ventricular wall motion abnormalities in the segments perfused with left anterior descending coronary artery or right coronary artery show a high risk for cardioembolic stroke in patients with old myocardial infarction. Considering these factors, it could be possible to more precisely define the risk of cardioembolic stroke and to perform appropriate antithrombotic treatments in old myocardial infarction patients.
