Cardiovascular and metabolic changes in insular infarcts: a delayed phenomenon?

J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 2006 Jul;77(7):813. doi: 10.1136/jnnp.2006.093468.

Abstract

Aggressive monitoring of electrocardiogram, blood pressure and blood glucose levels after 72 h in patients with insular infarcts is crucial in identifying whether they are prone to develop arrhythmias, hyperglycaemia and hypertension after the onset of stroke.
