Conclusions: Long sleep duration and dissatisfaction with sleep quality may be associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke in young adults...

... outcomes in many diseases. However, data regarding the impact of the SHR on ischaemic stroke, especially in young adults, are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether the SHR is associated with stroke severity and adverse outcomes in young adults with ischaemic stroke...

...Masao Nagayama; Tomiko Nagayama; Youichi Ohnuki; Yukito Shinohara To clarify the role of coagulopathy in cerebral infarction (CI) in adults with onset before age 45, we performed comprehensive and repeated hemostatic analyses in 77 consecutive young adult patients with CI. Coagulopathy was found...

...Harold P. Adams, Jr.; Betsy B. Love Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a valuable and sensitive test to screen for embolic cardiac lesions. This procedure is recommended for the evaluation of most young adults with ischemic stroke. However, several questions about the role of TEE need...

...José M. Ferro; Manuela Crespo; Helena Ferro Atherosclerosis is often considered the cause of stroke in young adults with vascular risk factors and no other obvious cause, even without evidence of atheroma. In a consecutive series of 260 young adult (≤45 years old) ischemic stroke patients...

... few patients had cardiac lesions with high embolic risk, most patients having asymptomatic, previously unrecognized cardiac diseases. Therefore two-dimensional echocardiography is warranted for the etiological screening of cerebral ischemia in young adults. The detection of a cardiac lesion with low...
