Abstract

Abstract:

Myocardial infarction（MI） and ischemic stroke are leading causes of death from cardiovascular diseases globally . In China, the incidence and mortality rates of both conditions have been on the rise. Although the occurrence of MI complicated by cerebral infarction is relatively rare, it represents a complex clinical challenge, characterized by high treatment difficulty and significant risk to patients. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment strategies, especially antithrombotic treatment strategies of these conditions.It also references clinical guidelines and expert consensus to provide a rational management approach for patients presenting with simultaneous acute myocardial infarction and acute ischemic stroke in clinical practice.

Key words: Myocardial infarction, Acute ischemic stroke, Cardio-cerebral infarction, Antithrombotic therapy
