It is currently not fully known what parts of the human brain predispose to neurogenic organ injury when injured. In this study, we aimed to identify the neuroanatomic correlates of a broad range of cardiac and systemic alterations occurring after ischemic stroke. Using a mapping technique that is free from the bias of a-priori hypothesis as to any specific location, we show that both cardiac and systemic abnormalities occurring after stroke map to specific infarct locations on diffusion-weighted MR. We show that these maps are predictive of the abnormalities as well as patient outcomes.
