In patients with mild ischemic stroke, small but eloquent infarcts may have devastating effects, particularly on health-related quality of life. Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins, Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke spoke to Dr Chen Lin from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago Illinois in the US, who was lead author for the article ‘Infarct location is associated with quality of life after mild ischemic stroke’, recently published in IJS.
This study looks at the association between acute infarct location and 3-month health- related quality of life in patients with mild ischemic stroke.
