    Author: Dutta M, Hanna E, Das P, Steinhubl SR.
    Journal: Cerebrovasc Dis; 2006; 22(5-6):331-9. PubMed ID: 16888371.
    Abstract:
    Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death today. With the fast progress in pharmacotherapy and revascularization technology, outcomes following a myocardial infarction have become very favorable. While most of the complications from a myocardial infarction can be adequately managed, thus leading to reduced mortality, stroke following a myocardial infarction remains a challenge even today, and can lead to potentially devastating complications. We discuss the incidence, pathophysiology, and management options of non-hemorrhagic stroke following a myocardial infarction.
