Overview

Cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral ischemia disrupts cerebral perfusion and can lead to an acute neurologic condition, called stroke. Cerebrovascular complications have been reported in severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, neurological complications are not very common in rapidly spreading COVID-19 which is caused by a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The presenting complaints in majority of stroke patients reported in different studies were respiratory complaints (shortness of breath, cough) and non-specific constitutional symptoms such as fever, malaise, etc., and stroke developed later in the course of the disease. This is thought to be due to COVID-19-associated coagulopathy. However, there are few case reports and studies that have mentioned specific neurological presenting complaints such as altered mental status, limb weakness, and aphasia. Various non-pulmonary features are being reported as the COVID-19 understanding is unfolding with the spike of cases and continuously rising number of cases globally.

Historical Perspective

  • Stroke was first recognized by Hippocrates, in the fourth century BC, almost 2,400 years ago, and it was reffered to as Apoplexy, a Greek medical literature term, which means 'struk down by violence'. Later, renaissance anatomists, in mid-16th century A.D., explained the pathophysiology of stroke, differentiating the causes as bleeding or blockage of A cerebral artery.[1]
  • Mao et al., in his study, first reported neurological symptoms in COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Wuhan, China from January 16, 2020, to February 19, 2020. Neurological symptoms were reported in 78 patients out of 214 COVID-19 positive hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China. The stroke patients reported specifically were 14[2]. In this study, patients with cardiovascular risk factors who presented with severe systemic symptoms were at higher risk of stroke.
  • Yaghi et al. retrospectively examined stroke patients admitted across different locations of NYU Langone hospital in New York. In this study, the incidence of 0.9% was observed in laboratory confirmed COVID-19 positive patients included in this study. Stroke diagnosis was proved by imaging, and cryptogenic stroke was seen in most of these patients. The mortality was much higher in stroke patients who were COVID-19 positive.[3]

Classification

  • There is no specific classification established for 'Stroke in COVID-19 patients'.
  • It is same as the general classification of stroke.[1]

July 12, 2020 New York Valderrama et al. 1 (52-year old male) Ischemic stroke
Prevalence of COVID-19-associated stroke varies in different studies


  • A New York study published in May reported that the proportion of these strokes seem to be higher in younger men.[3] Most of these strokes are large vessel ischemic strokes and are catastrophic.
  • In a single center retrospective study conducted in Wuhan by Qin C. et al. which included 1875 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients from january 27th, 2020, to March 5th, 2020, 50 patients had history of stroke. The median age of this study group was 63 years, with stroke patients relatively older(70 years) when compared to non-stroke patients (62 years).[15]
  • Stroke is one of the neurological manifestations in patients with severe infection. There is limited information on COVID-19 patients with stroke who survived.

Risk Factors

  • According to one of the study conducted in New York, Stroke in COVID-19 infected patients is seen in relatively young patients as compared to with non COVID-19 patients.[3]
  • However, due to disparities in the stroke prevalence in different studies, no clear association has been established.

  • The pre-stroke Modified Rankin Score (mRS) is an estimated score used to assess the patient’s pre-stroke level of function. An estimated mRS should be abstracted from current medical record documentation about the patient’s ability to perform activities of daily living prior to the hospitalization for the acute ischemic stroke event.[58]

Laboratory Findings

  • Patients with stroke associated to COVID-19 will have a positive test for COVID-19 confirmed either through molecular tests, nucleic acid amplification test, or serological testing.

Ultrasound

X-ray

  • Head x-rays can help rule out foreign metal objects in the head before performing an MRI,[65] detect skull fractures, and identify intracranial calcifications that may serve as hallmarks for brain structural changes in countries with poor access to more specific imaging tests.
  • There is no evidence of usefulness of chest x-ray in the acute setting of stroke.[18]

CT scan

MRI

  • MRI of the head before IV alteplase administration to exclude microbleeds is not recommended.[18]
  • Multimodal MRI of the head should be done in patients who present within 24 hours of the initiation of symptoms.[66]
  • In patients who wake up with clinical symptoms of stroke of unknown onset (more than 3 hours?), an MRI with diffusion-positive FLAIR may be useful for selecting those who can benefit from IV alteplase administration.[18]

Medical therapy

  • The reported cases of treatment for COVID-19-associated stroke have followed the same guidelines as patients with no COVID-19 infection. The following recommendations are mainly based on the current guidelines of management for stroke of the AHA 2019.
  • IV alteplase is always preferred over mechanical thrombectomy when there are no contraindications.[75]
  • The usefulness of anticoagulants such as thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran) and factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) is not well established in the acute setting of stroke.[76]
  • The use of thrombolysis via ultrasound waves concomitant to IV fibrinolysis is not recommended.[77]
  • High-intensity statin therapy should be initiated in patients younger than 75 with clinical ASCVD, to achieving a reduction in LDL-C levels of at least 50%.
  • In patients older than 75 years of age with clinical ASCVD, it is reasonable to initiate moderate or high-intensity statin therapy after reviewing adverse effects and drug interactions.[18][78]
  • Risk and beneffits should be discussed before initiation of statin therapy to weight ASCVD risk reduction against the potential for statin-associated side effects.[18]
  • Continuation of statin therapy during the acute period of ischemic stroke is reasonable among patients already taking statins.
Summarized management of ischemic stroke
Medical treatment Drug class Recommendations
Acute Long-Term
Reperfusion therapy Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)
  • None
Antithrombotic agents Antiplatelet agents
  • Oral administration of aspirin (initial dose is 325 mg) is recommended within 24 to 48 hours after stroke onset in most patients[79]
  • Aspirin is contraindicated in patients with ischemic stroke within 24 hours of t-PA administration[79]
  • DAPT therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel) is recommended for 90 days in patients with symptomatic intracranial large artery disease
  • Long term therapy with clopidogrel or aspirin extended release dipyridamole may be used for secondary prevention of non cardioembolic stroke
Anticoagulants
  • Parenteral or oral anticoagulation is not recommended within 48 hours of onset of ischemic stroke[85]
  • Oral anticoagulants may be used for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation or other cardioembolic disease[86]
Antilipid therapy Statins
  • Among patients already taking statins at the time of onset of ischemic stroke, continuation of statin therapy during the acute period is reasonable[79]
  • Long term management of ischemic stroke with high intensity statins may be recommended for patients with atherosclerotic disease
  • Patients who cannot tolerate high intensity dose, medium or low intensity statins may prove beneficial
Antihypertensive therapy Intravenous antihypertensives

(Labetolol, nitroprusside)

  • Used to control high blood pressure in patients with BP>185/110 mmHg before starting t-PA[79]
  • Long term oral antihypertensives may be used after 24 hours of ischemic stroke in patients having history of hypertension
Oral antihypertensive therapy
  • Long term oral antihypertensives may be used after 24 hours of ischemic stroke in patients having history of hypertension
Antihyperglycemic agents Insulin
  • May be used to control blood glucose between range of 140-180 mg/dl since hyperglycemia is associated with worst outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke[79]
  • Long term oral antidiabetic may be used for secondary prevention of ischmeic stroke in patients with diabetes mellitus

Alteplase

Tenecteplase

Antiplatelet therapy

  • Administration of aspirin is recommended in patients with AIS within 24 to 48 hours after onset. For those treated with IV alteplase, aspirin administration is generally delayed until 24 hours later.[95]
  • The dose of aspirin is usually between 160-300mg daily.[96]
  • IV aspirin administration within 90 minutes after the start of IV alteplase is associated with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, for which co administration is discouraged but benefits should be assessed in each individual case.[18][97]
  • Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel (75 mg/d, with a loading dose of 600mg) may be started within 24 hours after symptom onset and continued for 21 days in patients with no cardioembolic ischemic stroke.[98]
  • Aspirin should not substitute IV alteplase or mechanical thrombectomy in patients eligible for these therapies.[18]

Surgery

  • The usefulness of emergency carotid endarterectomy, carotid angioplasty and stenting in the absence of an intracranial clot is not well established.[18]

Mechanical thrombectomy with a stent retriever

  • Patients should receive mechanical thrombectomy with a stent retriever if they meet all the following criteria:[100]
    1. Prestroke mRS score of 0 to 1
    2. Causative occlusion of the internal carotid artery or MCA segment 1 (M1)
    3. Age ≥18 years
    4. NIHSS score of ≥6
    5. ASPECTS of ≥6; and
    6. Treatment can be initiated within 6 hours of symptom onset

Aspiration thrombectomy

  • Direct aspiration thrombectomy as first-pass mechanical thrombectomy is recommended as noninferior to stent retriever for patients who meet all the following criteria:[101]
    1. Prestroke mRS score of 0 to 1;
    2. Causative occlusion of the internal carotid artery or M1;
    3. Age ≥18 years;
    4. NIHSS score of ≥6;
    5. ASPECTS ≥6; and
    6. Treatment initiation within 6 hours of symptom onset.
