The correlation of D-dimer levels with patient outcomes in acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease complicating coronary heart disease

Abstract

AICVD patients complicating CHD is very common in clinical practice. The AICVD patients that complicating CHD showed worse outcomes within 90 days after initial onset of stroke. The D-dimer levels of patients with AICVD complicating CHD were higher. Patients in the CHD group, whose D-dimer levels were higher than the normal standard, had worst outcomes. Paying close attention to the stage of the coronary artery disease and indicators of the coagulation-fibrinolysis is beneficial in the optimization of the clinical treatment for AICVD patients. Maybe the results of this study could provide some reference for specific groups of stroke patients to accept anticoagulant therapy.
