Introduction: Ischemic stroke is associated with electrocardiographic and cardiac enzyme changes indicative of stunned myocardium. It is unknown if acute pulmonary edema occurs independent of cardiac dysfunction in ischemic stroke or in association with particular vascular distributions. Hypothesis: Ischemic strokes in the posterior fossa are associated with acute pulmonary edema independent of stroke related cardiac dysfunction. Methods: This is a retrospective study of ischemic stroke patients treated over two years at a tertiary medical center, including patients with basilar artery stroke (N=18), RMCA (N=31) and LMCA (N=27) distribution strokes involving the insula, and TIA controls (N=67). Of the 143 patients, 53% were female, 45% were black, 40% had a history of stroke or TIA, and 73% had hypertension. Discharge diagnosis, brain imaging, and review of chest x-rays (by two blinded reviewers) were used to determine the proportion of patients within each group with evidence of pulmonary edema. Cardiac variables including ejection fraction, serum troponin levels (>0.06 ng/mL), non-specific ST segment changes and QTc prolongation (>460ms) were compared between groups. Results: Patients with basilar artery occlusions and associated ischemic stroke developed pulmonary edema during their hospitalization more frequently than control patients (0.67 vs. 0.01, P<0.0001). There were no signs of stunned myocardium or CHF as indicated by elevated troponin, altered echocardiography, or QTc prolongation for the basilar group. None of the patients in the basilar group with pulmonary edema had altered echocardiography. Patients with RMCA and LMCA distribution strokes were noted to have a higher frequency of pulmonary edema compared to the controls (0.23, P=0.0012; 0.41, P=0.002), at a proportion less than the basilar group (for RMCA, P=0.005; LMCA, P=0.13,). The proportions of patients with elevated serum troponin and QTc prolongation were significantly greater for RMCA (0.41 vs. 0.05, P=0.0008; 0.40 vs.0.16, P=0.017) and LMCA (0.33 vs. 0.05, P=0.008; 0.36 vs. 0.16, P=0.046) patients relative to controls. Conclusion: Pulmonary edema occurs independently of cardiac stunning or dysfunction in patients with basilar artery occlusions.

Volume management is critical for assessment of cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This multicenter prospective cohort study compared the impact of surgical clipping versus endovascular coiling on postoperative hemodynamics and pulmonary edema in patients with SAH. Hemodynamic parameters were measured for 14 days using a transpulmonary thermodilution system. The study included 202 patients, including 160 who underwent clipping and 42 who underwent coiling. There were no differences in global ejection fraction (GEF), cardiac index, systemic vascular resistance index, or global end-diastolic volume index between the clipping and coiling groups in the early period. However, extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) were significantly higher in the clipping group in the vasospasm period. Postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) level was higher in the clipping group and was significantly correlated with postoperative brain natriuretic peptide level. Multivariate analysis found that PVPI and GEF were independently associated with high EVLWI in the early period, suggesting cardiogenic edema, and that CRP and PVPI, but not GEF, were independently associated with high EVLWI in the vasospasm period, suggesting noncardiogenic edema. In conclusion, clipping affects postoperative CRP level and may thereby increase noncardiogenic pulmonary edema in the vasospasm period. His trial is registered with University Hospital Medical Information NetworkUMIN000003794.

ABSTRACT:Background:Pulmonary edema (PE) can occur in the early or late period following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The incidence of each type of PE is unknown and the association with ventricular dysfunction, both systolic and diastolic, has not been described.Methods:Retrospective chart review of 178 consecutive patients with SAH surgically treated over a three-year period. Patients with pulmonary edema diagnosed by a radiologist were included. Early onset SAH was defined as occurring within 12 hours. Cardiac function at the time of the PE was analyzed using hemodynamic and echocardiographic criteria of systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Pulmonary edema was observed in 42 patients (28.8%) and was more often delayed (89.4%). Evidence of cardiac involvement during PE varied between 40 to 100%.Results and conclusions:Pulmonary edema occurs in 28.8% of patients after SAH, and is most commonly delayed. Cardiac dysfunction, both systolic and diastolic, is commonly observed during SAH and could contribute to the genesis of PE after SAH.
