Transient ischemic attack and acute ischemic stroke: evidence of altered corrected index of cardiac electrophysiological balance

This study identified a graded increase in iCEBcB and iCEBcB across the clinical spectrum, from controls to TIA and further to AIS patients. An elevated iCEBcB emerged as a significant independent predictor of the NIHSS score at admission. ICEBcB could provide a non-invasive means of detecting early, subclinical electrophysiological abnormalities in patients with ischemic stroke.
