Abstract

Ischemic stroke is the most common type of cerebrovascular accident in older patients, but it is rare in younger adults. Here we present the case of a 27-year-old woman who presented with symptoms and signs of stroke and a medical history of nephrotic syndrome. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed four chamber dilation, biventricular failure, global hypokinesis, concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, and severely depressed systolic function with an ejection fraction of 25%. The presence of nephrotic syndrome in conjunction with heart failure indicated need for further investigation and consideration due to the increased risk of thrombosis.
