International audience. Background The inflammatory process underlying atrial myopathy may affect the inflammatory response activated in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Objectives We aimed to assess whether left atrial enlargement (LAE) as a marker of atrial myopathy is associated with a different profile of circulating inflammatory markers in AIS patients. Methods HIBISCUS-STROKE is a cohort study including anterior circulation AIS patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy following MRI. Ten circulating inflammatory markers were measured at admission and 6, 24, and 48 h after admission. LAE was defined as a left atrial volume index (LAVi) ≥34 ml/m 2 . A multiple logistic regression model was performed to detect an independent association between the area under the curve (AUC) of these markers and LAE. Results We included 143 patients. Of them, 85 (59.4%) had LAE. On univariable analysis, we found that patients with LAE had higher soluble form suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor I (sTNFR1), and vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) AUC, were older, mostly female, had a higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and blood glucose level at admission, had more often hypertension, and a cardioembolic source of AIS, such as atrial fibrillation, while they were less frequently current smokers and had a lower rate of tandem occlusion than patients without LAE. On multivariable analysis, we found that among circulating inflammatory markers, only high VCAM-1 (OR: 9.13, 95% CI: 3.21–25.9) and sST2 (OR: 3.40, 95% CI: 1.68–6.86) AUC remained associated with LAE. Conclusions High VCAM-1 and sST2 levels within the first 48 h are associated with LAE in AIS patients.
