Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in young patients with ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
The recommended cardiac rhythm evaluation to determine the etiology of ischemic stroke (IS) is similar in all patients regardless of their age and includes an electrocardiogram and at least a 24-hour heart rhythm monitoring. However, it is known that the main causes of IS vary according to patients ’ age. There is a higher preponderance of arterial dissections and patent foramen ovale in younger patients, while atrial fibrillation (AF) is more common in older patients.

Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of Lesion Patterns in Stroke Patients With Patent Foramen Ovale and Patients With Spontaneous Intracranial Artery Dissection
Conclusion: The present study suggests that lesion patterns observed from DWI of patients with PFO and SIAD might provide clues to the etiology of infarcts. Single lesions (cortical or subcortical) might be a typical feature of PFO associated strokes, while multiple lesions in one vascular territory might be a specific feature of SIAD associated strokes. Introduction Both patent foramen ovale (PFO) and spontaneous intracranial artery dissection (SIAD) are important stroke risk factors, especially in young and middle-aged adults (1–3). About 25% of patients with ischemic stroke are cryptogenic (4), and PFO is ...

The Significance of Troponin Elevation for the Clinical Course and Outcome of First-Ever Ischaemic Stroke
Conclusions: Elevated TnI concentration occurs in 1/10 of patients with acute ischaemic stroke. It is connected with an unfavourable course of stroke leading to a significant disability and less independence in their everyday functioning. The right hemisphere is the most common site of stroke accompanied by elevated concentration of troponin in patients with no ischaemic changes in the electrocardiogram. Troponin-positive acute coronary syndrome in the period of acute stroke increases mortality within one month. Among patients with an abnormal troponin concentration in the acute phase of stroke, poor outcome is attributed ...

Cardiac Imaging Within Emergency CT Angiography for Acute Stroke Can Detect Atrial Clots
This study was approved by the ethics committee of the medical faculty of the Ruhr University Bochum. FIGURE 1 Figure 1. Flow chart showing the selection of the study population. Results A total of 59 patients underwent emergency CCTA (Figure 2A) for suspected stroke, of which 44 received the final diagnosis ischemic stroke. There were 17 patients who had ischemic stroke or TIA and known or newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (Table 1; mean age: 77.5 years, standard deviation: 8.4 years; 53% female). As hypothesized, intracardiac thrombi could be visualized: once in an artificially occluded left atrial appe...

Clinical Differences Between Stroke and Stroke Mimics in Code Stroke Patients
CONCLUSION: Some clinical and neurological characteristics have been identified to help differentiate stroke mimics from true stroke. In particular, the likelihood of stroke tended to increase as the number of accompanying focal neurological deficits increased.PMID:35191231 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2022.37.e54
