Background: It is important to determine the usage of anticoagulants by defining the actual risk of cardioembolic stroke in patients with old myocardial infarction. In the present study, we aimed to more precisely evaluate the risks of each segment associated with cardioembolic stroke using a 16-segment model. The usage of the plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) associated with cardioembolic stroke was also evaluated in comparison with a left ventricle ejection fraction less than 40%. Methods: There were a total of 190 ischemic stroke patients who had premorbid myocardial infarction. The study included a total of 143 ischemic stroke patients with old myocardial infarction who were available for evaluation and excluded patients with atrial fibrillation or acute myocardial infarction. Their left ventricle wall motion abnormality and the level of plasma BNP at their admission were analyzed. Results: Hypertension and a plasma BNP level of 206.9 pg/mL or higher, determined from the receiver operating characteristic curve, were independently associated with cardioembolic stroke (chi(2) = 35.6, R-2 =.30, P
