Stress Hyperglycemia Ratio Is Associated with Intracardiac Thrombus in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Key Result

Stress hyperglycemia ratio is associated with intracardiac thrombus missed by TTE but detected by TEE in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Key Points

• To investigate the association between stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and intracardiac thrombus in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
• Analyzed data from patients with AIS diagnosed using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
• Evaluated the occurrence of intracardiac thrombus in relation to the stress hyperglycemia ratio.
• SHR was significantly associated with intracardiac thrombus not detected by TTE but found by TEE.
• Higher SHR levels correlated with an increased risk of intracardiac thrombus in AIS patients.
