Clinical outcomes of secondary prevention strategies for young patients with cryptogenic stroke and patent foramen ovale.
Conclusions The diagnosis of stroke in patients with PFO could be confirmed in 50% of cases only, underlining the importance of a multidisciplinary evaluation of these patients. A very low ischaemic recurrence rate was observed in the medical therapy group, suggesting that a personalized treatment based on a prespecified diagnostic algorithm yields good clinical results irrespective of the treatment modality. Given the low number of recurrences, larger cohorts may be needed to prove significant differences. PMID: 28705105 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Direct oral anticoagulants and therapeutic adherence: do not let your guard down
CONCLUSIONS: Polypharmacy, patient's isolation, such as a low education level were statistically associated with a low therapeutic adherence. Therapeutic adherence remains an unsolved problem for anticoagulated patient. To identify patients at higher risk of poor compliance and therapeutic failure and establish targeted care pathways is a priority.PMID:33896375 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2021.1908702
