Journal Article
Akyea, R. K., Iyen, B., Georgiopoulos, G., Kai, J., Qureshi, N., & Ntaios, G. (2023). Cardiovascular outcomes and mortality after incident ischaemic stroke in patients with a recent cancer history. European Journal of Internal Medicine, 109, 50-57. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejim.2022.12.006

Background: Up to 10% of patients with ischaemic stroke have comorbid cancer and stroke in these patients is thought to have a poor short-term prognosis. There is little known about the long-term cardiovascular morbidity and mortality outcomes after...
