To the Editor:We read with great interest the article by Dr Min and colleagues1 dealing with the relationship between cardiac dysfunction and cerebral focal ischemia. The results of their study demonstrated that, in a mouse model of permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion, left focal ischemia could lead to cardiac dysfunction, which was inversely correlated with the severity of left insular cortex damage. The authors also indicated that the serum and heart levels of norepinephrine (NE) were raised in mice …
