A study conducted in Karnataka, India aimed to determine the side of the cerebral hemisphere most affected by stroke and the arterial territories involved in high-risk patients. The researchers found that the left cerebral hemisphere was affected in 50% of patients, the right hemisphere in 40%, and bilateral involvement was found in 10% of patients. The study also revealed that the Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) territory was the most commonly involved in stroke. However, the slight predilection of stroke towards the left hemisphere was not statistically significant. Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability after Ischemic heart disease, according to the World Health Organization. [Extracted from the article] |
