To evaluate if restricted diffusion lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are associated with atrial cardiopathy
Spontaneous ICH is a devastating disease with the highest morbidity and mortality of all stroke subtypes. Presence of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesions in patients with acute ICH portends a poor prognosis. Markers of atrial disease, such as increased P-Terminal Force in lead V1 (PTFV1) on electrocardiogram (ECG), have been associated with increased stroke risk. We sought to evaluate if DWI lesions on MRI after acute ICH were associated with atrial cardiopathy, defined by PTFV1 > 40 mm/msec.
Retrospective chart review was performed on 325 adults admitted with ICH between 2011-2017. After selection for patients with spontaneous ICH and exclusion of patients on long-term anticoagulation or with known atrial fibrillation (AF), 161 patients were eligible for inclusion, of whom 115 (71.4%) had an MRI obtained during admission. PTFV1 on first ECG was manually measured by two raters.
Of 31 patients (27.0%) with DWI lesions on MRI, 14 patients (45.2%) had only perihematomal lesions, 7 patients (22.6%) had only remote lesions, and 10 patients (32.3%) had both remote and perihematomal lesions. Interrater reliability for PTFV1 was slight (κ=0.03). PTFV1 > 40 mm/msec occurred in 16 patients (51.6%) with DWI lesions and 54 patients (64.3%) without DWI lesions [P=0.188]. 12 patients (10.4%) developed new-onset AF during ICH admission, which was not associated with presence of DWI lesions [6 (50%) vs 6 (50%), P= 0.067] or PTFV1> 40 mm/msec [7 (58.3%) vs 4 (33.3%), P= 0.067]. Patients with DWI lesions were less likely to survive to hospital discharge [25 (80.6%) vs 80 (95.2%), P=0.036].
No significant association was observed between PTFV1 and DWI lesions after spontaneous ICH.
