| ABSTRACT |
Objectives:
This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of patients with single infarction and multiple infarctions.
Method:
We studied inpatients who were admitted from 2005/10/1 to 2007/3/30 at the KyungHee University Oriental Medical Center (KOMC) Department of Cardiovascular & Neurology (stroke center). We sorted small vessel occlusion patients and evaluated general characteristics of the patients along with the characteristics of single and multiple infarction patients.
Result:
We evaluated 262 inpatients, and did not find any significant difference in age, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, diet, exercise, homocysteine, or Sasang constitution between single infarction and multiple infarction. However, there were more significant associations with patients' smoking and stress with multiple infarctions than single infarction.
Conclusion:
From this study we could roughly grasp the characteristics of Small Vessel Occlusion patients and evaluated the characteristics of patients with multiple infarction. However, due to the special circumstance of the KOMC inpatients it is difficult to generalize our results; further multiple center research with a larger study group is needed. |
