Acute stroke accounts for significant morbidity and mortality globally. The role of troponin for risk stratification in stroke is unclear. The aims of this study were to assess the relationship between peak troponin and mortality in patients with ischemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke, or subarachnoid haemorrhage and to compare this with the predictive value of first troponin or dynamic troponin change.
