Double whammy: Stroke and neck artery tear increase heart attack risk in the first year

Heart attack risk almost doubles in the first year after a stroke or when combined with a tear in a neck artery wall, however, a tear without a stroke does not seem to raise heart attack risk, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2024.
