    Author: Puletti M, Zingales LD, Borgia C, Gatto F, Curione M, Matteoli S, Jacobellis GF.
    Journal: G Ital Cardiol; 1981; 11(6):728-35. PubMed ID: 7319180.
    Abstract:
    In a consecutive series of 750 patients with acute myocardial infarction, 11 (1.46%) suffered neurological complications. The pathogenesis of these neurological incidents (embolia or hypotension) remained uncertain in all the cases presented here. Neurological incidents (3 TIA, 8 strokes) were more frequent in elderly patients, in which they represented a very serious complication with high fatality. No clear relationship could be established with infarct size nor with the anticoagulant therapy.
