  Background: The Acute ischemic stroke (AIS), which results in the corresponding loss of the neurological function, is characterized by sudden losses in the brain of blood circulation. Cardiac troponins (cTns) are used routinely for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but there is a complex overlap between cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of Hs-cTnT elevation in acute ischemic stroke population and its prognostic significance. Patients and methods: We enrolled 161 patients admitted with acute ischemic stroke to Menoufia university hospitals and Assalam International hospital. We assessed the full medical history, neurological assessment, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) level, and ECG on admission and after 2..
