Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (1) Exclude all types of hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases (including subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, etc.) as well as transient ischemic attack (TIA) and asymptomatic cerebral infarction; (2) Cardiogenic embolism: cardiac structural abnormalities (patent foramen ovale, ventricular aneurysm), arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, sick sinus syndrome), and intracardiac lesions (myxoma, infective endocarditis); (3) Patients with severe hepatic and renal dysfunction, malignant tumors, hematological disorders, autoimmune diseases, or severe mental disorders; (4) Pregnant and breastfeeding women; (5) Patients who have undergone intravenous thrombolysis, endovascular mechanical thrombectomy, arterial thrombolysis, or endovascular stent placement for revascularization therapy; (6) Patients allergic to or intolerant of the investigational drug; (7) Patients who have participated in other clinical trials.

| Neurological functional recovery and activities of daily living (ADL) assessment indicators: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Barthel Index (BI).;Imaging metrics: ASPECTS score based on non-contrast CT and cranial MRI (T1, T2, DWI, Flair sequences), CT angiography (CTA), and imaging techniques based on CT perfusion (CTP) including cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT), and time to peak (TTP).;Echocardiography: Measurements of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), early rapid filling peak E wave/late filling A wave (E/A) during diastole, interventricular septum diastolic thickness (IVSD), left ventricular posterior wall diastolic thickness (LVPWD), mitral valve E wave velocity/mitral annulus e' velocity (E/E'), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and cardiac index (CI) were obtained for both groups of patients.;Myocardial injury: biomarkers of myocardial injury (cTnI, CK-MB);Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scoring (qi deficiency with blood stasis and toxicity syndrome, qi deficiency with blood stasis syndrome);Mechanism indicators (monocyte subset distribution, Th17/Treg ratio, specific cytokine levels, systemic inflammation levels); | — |
