Title: Obesity-hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, and Left Atrial Enlargement During Stroke in Young Adults. Author: Zhang S, Zuo P. Journal: Neurologist; 2023 Nov 01; 28(6):386-390. PubMed ID: 37582559. Abstract: BACKGROUND: This study investigated the association between left atrial enlargement and stroke severity in young adults. We also studied the differences between the normal and left atrial enlargement groups in clinical data. METHODS: A total of 135 young stroke patients admitted to the Department of Neurology of the Taizhou People's Hospital were recruited from January 2018 to December 2021. The patients were divided into normal and enlarged groups by left atrial size. The relationship between the left atrial diameter and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was analyzed apart from the differences in clinical variables. RESULTS: No relationship was observed between the left atrial diameter and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ( r =-0.045 P =0.603). The univariate analysis of both groups revealed that hypertension ( P =0.004), hyperlipidemia ( P =0.001), body mass index ( P =0.000), obesity ( P =0.015), and not stroke etiologic subtypes were associated with left atrial enlargement. In binary logistic regression analysis models, hyperlipidemia 3.384 (95% CI, 1.536 to 7.452), hypertension 2.661 (95% CI, 1.066 to 6.639), and obesity 2.858 (95% CI, 1.158 to 7.052) were significantly associated with the young stroke of left atrial enlargement. CONCLUSIONS: In young adults, obesity-hyperlipidemia and hypertension were significantly associated with left atrial enlargement in stroke.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
