Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
In 2014, the clinical construct of “embolic stroke of undetermined source” (ESUS) was introduced to identify patients with nonlacunar cryptogenic ischemic strokes in whom embolism was the likely stroke mechanism. It was hypothesized that anticoagulants might be more efficacious than antiplatelet agents for secondary stroke prevention in ESUS patients. At the time of the original publication, li...
متن کاملTicagrelor Versus Aspirin in Acute Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ticagrelor is an effective antiplatelet therapy among patients with atherosclerotic disease and, therefore, could be more effective than aspirin in preventing recurrent stroke and cardiovascular events among patients with embolic stroke of unknown source (ESUS), which includes patients with ipsilateral stenosis <50% and aortic arch atherosclerosis. METHODS We randomized...
متن کاملAssociation Between Troponin Levels and Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
BACKGROUND Our aim was to determine whether patients with embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS) have higher rates of elevated troponin than patients with noncardioembolic strokes. METHODS AND RESULTS CAESAR (The Cornell Acute Stroke Academic Registry) prospectively enrolled all adults with acute stroke from 2011 to 2014. Two neurologists used standard definitions to retrospectively as...
متن کاملHigh Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation After Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source in Posterior Cerebral Artery Territory
BACKGROUND Subclinical atrial fibrillation is one possible cause of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). It remains to be elucidated if a specific infarction site has a predictive value for detecting subclinical atrial fibrillation. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of infarction site in patients with ESUS for the detection of atrial tachyarrhythmia (AT) using an insertable ...
متن کاملAn Approach to Working Up Cases of Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
BACKGROUND From a therapeutic viewpoint, it is important to differentiate the underlying causes of embolism in patients with cryptogenic stroke, such as aortic arch atheroma, patent foramen ovale, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. We investigated the clinical and radiological characteristics of these 3 common causes of cryptogenic embolism to develop models for decision making in etiologic wo...
