Although stroke patients have a high risk of ischemic heart disease, little information is available on the risk of coronary events in stroke patients with asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated the long-term vascular outcomes in stroke patients with asymptomatic CAD diagnosed with multi-detector coronary computed tomography (MDCT). ⋯ Asymptomatic CAD detected on MDCT was associated with increased risks of vascular events or deaths in acute stroke patients.
