Abstract

Background This study was conducted to investigate the association between patients' levels of troponin T and acute spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage with all-cause mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients. Methods After receiving approval from the institutional ethics committee and signed informed consent from the study participants, a hospital-based observational study involving 100 patients who presented with acute ischemic and acute spontaneous hemorrhagic stroke to the Department of Internal Medicine, Madras Medical College, and Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, Chennai, was carried out over a 6-month period. Results When troponin T level was compared to 1-week mortality following a stroke, it was shown that 85.7% of those who passed away within that time had an elevated troponin T. The p-value was equal to 0.000. It matters a lot. Therefore, there is unquestionably a relationship between a rise in troponin T and stroke mortality after one week.
