Microembolic signals and risk of early recurrence in patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Asymptomatic microembolic signals (MES) can be demonstrated in patients with cerebral ischemia using transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonographic monitoring of the middle cerebral artery. However, the clinical relevance of MES remains uncertain. The purpose of this study was to estimate the independent contribution of microembolism to the risk of early ischemic recurrence ...
متن کاملRisk of Stroke after Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke.
BACKGROUND Previous studies conducted between 1997 and 2003 estimated that the risk of stroke or an acute coronary syndrome was 12 to 20% during the first 3 months after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke. The TIAregistry.org project was designed to describe the contemporary profile, etiologic factors, and outcomes in patients with a TIA or minor ischemic stroke who receive care ...

Transient Ischemic Attack Etiologic Subtype and Early Risk of Stroke To the Editor: Although clinical features help stratify stroke risk after transient ischemic attack (TIA), the novel study by Purroy et al1 on predictors of early recurrent ischemia according to etiologic subtype of the index TIA emphasizes additional variables we must consider in our prognostication algorithms. We wish to dis...
متن کاملRisk factors for cervical atherosclerosis in patients with transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our purpose was to study potential determinants of the presence and the severity of cervical atherosclerosis in patients with transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke. METHODS Two hundred ninety-four patients up to 60 years of age were included in this cross-sectional study. The male to female ratio was 171/123. Atherosclerosis was defined as the presence of a...
