Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Stroke cause = vascular disease CAD-impaired CO, rhythm disorders, cardiac decomposition (CHF) Deconditioning

A	Seizures
B	Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction
C	Cardiopulmonary Dysfunction
D	DVT and PE

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -CHF indicates chronic heart failure; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction. Table 4. Prevalence of Clinically Inapparent Strokes in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure. CHF. Controls.

Detailed explanation-2: -Recently, an association between strokes and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) has been reported [1–3]. However, these studies were performed among patients with symptoms of acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, and CAD was confirmed on the basis of computed tomography (CT).

Detailed explanation-3: -Stroke induced cardiac damage may lead to fatality or potentially lifelong cardiac problems (such as heart failure), or to mild and recoverable damage such as neurogenic stress cardiomyopathy (NSC) and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Heart problems that are common among people who have had a stroke include myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias-especially atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation.
