Dheeraj Kumar Soni, Deepika Sagar

Abstract: Objectives: Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) may have a high incidence of clinically asymptomatic or symptomatic stroke. Prevalence of Stroke and its risk factors may be different between ischemic and nonischemic DCM. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and related parameters of silent stroke in patients with ischemic and nonischemic DCM. Methods: 72 Patients with ischemic and nonischemic DCM (53 male, 19 females, aged 62 ? 12 years) were included in the study. Etiology of DCM was ischemic in 45 and nonischemic in 27 patients. Fifty-five age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers served as a control group for comparison of stroke prevalence. Results: Prevalence of stroke was 38%, 28%, and 3.6% in ischemic, nonischemic DCM, and control group, respectively (ischemic DCM vs control group, p
