Embolic strokes of undetermined source comprise a subset of cryptogenic ischemic strokes. It is thought that some embolic strokes of undetermined source could be due to left atrial thromboembolism without atrial fibrillation. The authors sought to determine whether a marker of left atrial pathological changes could pose as a surrogate marker of nonarrhythmogenic atrial thromboembolism in emboli...

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. About 87% of all strokes are ischemic strokes. Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) cause similar symptoms, but the blockage of blood flow to the brain is temporary. However, about one-third of people who have a TIA will have a stroke within 1 year (3). Emergency departments play a critical role in the diagnosis and management of isc...

Objectives This study explores sex differences in ischemic stroke hospitalization incidence, 30-day mortality, and readmission a southwestern US medical center. Methods Ischemic admissions regional center the United States were obtained for 6.5-year time frame (N = 1968). Logistic regression models examine adjusted effects of on mortality outcomes among individuals hospitalized stroke. Results ...

Abstract Background Cerebral arterial thromboses or ischemic strokes may be caused by cumulative independent effects of a variety risk factors. High factor VIII level is one those important but less known factors for and venous thrombosis. We hereby provide comprehensive review the role high levels as Moreover, we present our views on inclusion testing in etiology workup protocol young patients...

background:  the aim of this study was to evaluate whether higher serum levels of igf-i in the acute phase of ischemic stroke are associated with less severe strokes and better functional outcome in a period of one year follow up. methods: from october 2014 to august 2015, patients with the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke admitted to the stroke unit of firoozgar hospital entered this prospec...
