"Does left atrial appendage morphology and dimension differ amongst etiological stroke subtypes in patients without known Atrial Fibrillation? Results from the Left Atrial Appendage morphology and dimension assessment by TEE in patients with stroke without known Atrial Fibrillation (LAMDA-STROKE) Study."
CONCLUSION: Complex LAA morphology is a predominant feature in ischemic stroke patients with ESUS and may contribute to an increased risk of stroke in these patients.PMID:36894122 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2023.03.001

Stroke in cardiac sarcoidosis: Need to worry?
CONCLUSIONS: Ischemic stroke in patients with CS can be attributed to a cardioembolic phenomenon. A high index of clinical suspicion is needed for early diagnosis and management of these patients. PMID: 33189209 [PubMed - in process]

Intracranial Large Artery Disease is Independently Associated with Poor Functional Outcome in a Cohort of Ethnic South Asian Ischemic Stroke Patients
Conclusions: The presence of ICLAD rendered poorer functional prognosis after stroke. These findings support the specific evaluation of the benefits of known acute stroke treatments such as thrombolysis, as well as investigation of potential novel strategies such as acute stenting.

Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation - Which is the BEST?: Balanced in Efficacy and Safety as a Thromboprophylactic.
Authors: Suvarna V Abstract Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) has reached an exciting phase with a plethora of newer, potentially more efficacious and safer agents being introduced for physicians to select from. Dabigatran belongs to a class of anticoagulants called direct thrombin inhibitors, while rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban are direct Factor Xa inhibitors. Purely from a therapeutic endpoint perspective-based on the action of anticoagulants in reducing cardioembolic stroke-in clinical trials, one should look at whether a new anticoagulant in patients with AF prevents ischemic stroke. From a ne...

Clinical features, risk factors, and short-term outcome of ischemic stroke, in patients with atrial fibrillation: Data from a population-based study
Conclusions: Ten percent of stroke patients had AF. They were older, had multiple risk factors and worse outcome. There was no gender difference in this large cohort.

Study of transesophageal echocardiography in young patients (<40 years) with acute arterial ischemic stroke: A pilot study
ConclusionCardiac abnormalities on TEE and holter were detected in 42.5% of the young patients with idiopathic arterial stroke. TEE abnormality was noted in 33% (13/40), whereas AF on holter was seen in 14.8% (4/27) with normal TEE. Thus, probable cardioembolic stroke was responsible for acute ischemic stroke in 42.5% (17/40) of young patients in the absence of valvular heart disease, prosthetic valves, and persistent/permanent AF.

Infarct volumes of patients with acute ischemic stroke receiving direct oral anticoagulants due to non-valvular atrial fibrillation
Conclusion: We observe, while using DOACs, the infarct volumes of patients who experience stroke are smaller than those with NDAF and using ASA, as well as mRS scores at discharge are low and length of hospital stay is short.

Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Versus Medical Therapy for Cryptogenic Stroke: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionPFO closure is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of stroke compared to medical management. However, it causes an increased risk of atrial fibrillation.

Prevalence, clinical profile, and stroke risk of atrial fibrillation in rural Andhra Pradesh, India (the ap-af study)
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of AF is lower in this study compared to studies from the developed countries. Non-rheumatic cardiovascular risk factors were the causes for AF. Non-adherence to stroke prophylaxis is a major threat that needs to be addressed.PMID:35257736 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2022.02.002
