Abstract: Stroke-related cardiac death is a significant concern for patients with stroke and their
healthcare providers. It is a complex and multifaceted condition that requires careful management
of both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. This review provides an overview of
the pathophysiology, risk factors, and prevention strategies for stroke-related cardiac death. The
review highlights the importance of identifying and managing modifiable risk factors such as
hypertension, diabetes, and lifestyle factors, as well as non-modifiable risk factors such as age
and genetics. Additionally, the review explores emerging strategies for prevention, including the
use of wearable devices and genetic testing to identify patients at risk, stem cell therapy and
gene therapy for cardiac dysfunction, and precision medicine for personalized treatment plans.
Despite some limitations to this review, it provides valuable insights into the current understanding
of stroke-related cardiac death and identifies important areas for future research. Ultimately,
the implementation of evidence-based prevention strategies and personalized treatment
plans has the potential to improve outcomes for patients with stroke and reduce the burden of
stroke-related cardiac death in the population.
