Background and objective Prior studies have suggested that patients with premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) may have an ...

Background The ability to differentiate intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) related large vessel occlusion (LVO) from embolism is critical for stroke management. We hypothesized that the ...

An embolic stroke is a type of ischemic stroke ... clot that forms in the heart (usually due to AFib). Diagnosis is made through physical and neurological examination augmented by imaging tests (e.g., ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) detected after insular stroke might arise from autonomic and inflammatory mechanisms triggered by insular damage and be associated with a low embolic risk. We assessed the ...

Anticoagulation with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) reduces the risk of ischemic stroke and systemic embolism among persons with atrial fibrillation. 1 However, whether the timing of DOAC ...

Introduction Despite workup for the aetiology of ischaemic stroke, about 25% of cases remain unexplained. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is typically suspected but often not detected. Even if atrial ...

Neuroimaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or, if contraindicated, with computed ... Chan MY, Dalakoti M, et al. Association of electrocardiographic P-wave markers and atrial fibrillation in ...

Background— A number of clinical syndromes describing the presentation of deep brain infarcts are called lacunar syndromes resulting from small vessel occlusion (SVO). To verify the reliability of th ...

Computational modeling identifies embolic stroke of undetermined source patients with potential arrhythmic substrate. eLife , 2021; 10 DOI: 10.7554/eLife.64213 Cite This Page : ...

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has revealed fibrosis in embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) patients comparable to levels seen in atrial fibrillation (AFib). We used computational ...
