Readmissions for Cardiac Disease Within 30 Days of Hospitalization for Cerebral Infarction: An Evaluation of the Stroke–Heart Syndrome Using the Nationwide Readmission Database Open
Background: The stroke–heart syndrome refers to incident cardiac complications post stroke. This study aims to evaluate the stroke–heart syndrome by determining the rate and predictors of readmission for cardiac disease within 30 days of h…
