Explore the connection between stroke and heart disease, focusing on long-term prevention and post-stroke cardiac risks. Learn about neurovascular diseases and unexpected natural deaths related to stroke. Discover how cerebral lesions impact the heart and blood pressure. This symposium delves into the interplay between the brain and heart health.

Eleventh International Symposium Heart Failure & Co. Morte Improvvisa Reggia di Caserta 29-30 Aprile 2011 La morte cerebrovascolare: può presentarsi come la morte improvvisa cardiaca? Giuseppe Micieli Dip Neurologia d’Urgenza IRCCS Istituto Neurologico Nazionale C Mondino Pavia
After a stroke/TIA, patients are at high risk of short-term non-fatal stroke and • of long-term fatal CHD • CHD is highly prevalent at autopsy in patients with stroke TIA • Recent studies confirm 10-year incidence of CHD in patients with stroke/TIA is • 20% • Secondary prevention should not only focus on the first 2-3 years • Long-term (4-5 years) secondary prevention trials (PROGRESS, SPARCL) show • reduction in CHD events

Stroke-induced sudden-autonomic death • Role of the insular cortex in the pathophysiology of sudden death Oppenheimer et al, 1991 • Significant modulating effects of ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC) on cardiovascular responses to emotional stimuli Hiltz MJ et al. 2006 • Hemispheric dominance of sympathetic (RH) or parasympathetic (LH) activity Zamrini EY et al, 1990; Hiltz MJ et al, 2001
Stroke-induced sudden-autonomic death • Left-hemispheric inactivation increased sympathetic cardiovascular modulation; right-hemispheric inactivity furthered parasympathetic activity Hitz MJ et al, 2001 • Tailored resection of temporal lobe areas lowers sympathetic cardiovascular activation (shift towards cardiovagal predominance with possibile bradycardia or even asystole) Hiltz MJ et al 2006, Hiltz et al, 2001

Stroke-induced sudden-autonomic death • Infarction involving parietal lobe seem to be associated with an increased risk of cardiac events (HR 4.45 of cardiac death) Rincon et al, 2008 • Similar high risk of death after right parietal lobe infarction when infarct size is considered Rincon et al, 2008 • Probably, the parietal lobe has buffering effects on the insular region which are disinhibited after loss of parietal activity
