... Cardioembolic stroke Accurate subtype classification of ischemic strokes is invaluable as outcome, recurrence rate, and secondary prevention strategies differ by the subtype [ 1,2,3 ]. The most widely accepted classification system of stroke subtype is the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment...

We investigate whether combined...

...Eva González Babarro; Ana Román Rego; José Ramón González-Juanatey Cardioembolic stroke accounts for one third of all ischemic strokes, and atrial fibrillation (AF) is the cardiac source of emboli in 50% of them. However, the absolute risk of stroke associated with AF has enormous variability...

... the detection of one of the major cardiac sources of emboli requires an early anticoagulation to reduce early stroke recurrence and mortality. Methods: In this review, we report on the results of clinical trials that have investigated the efficacy of early treatment for acute cardioembolic stroke. Results...

... in cardioembolic stroke. Conclusions: The positive rim around the old infarct can be considered as cytotoxic edema. Recurrent acute infarction, mainly of cardioembolic origin, seems to be a significant cause of so-called late-onset seizures, making the subdivision into early- and late-onset seizures arbitrary...
