Background And Objectives: Psychosocial stress is a potentially modifiable risk factor of early-onset ischemic stroke, with limited evidence suggesting a stronger association between stress and cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CIS) compared with strokes of known etiology. We aimed to explore the association between self-perceived stress and CIS, with subgroup analyses stratified by sex and age.
Methods: Young patients aged 18-49 years with a first-ever CIS and sex-matched and age-matched stroke-free controls from 19 European centers were included.
Background And Purpose: Patients with active cancer face an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Also, stroke may be an initial indicator of cancer. In patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke treated with thrombectomy, analysis of the clot composition may contribute new insights into the pathological connections between these two conditions.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the association between increased LA stiffness and CIS in young adults.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the link between heavy alcohol use and young-onset cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CIS) in individuals aged 18-49.
- Patients showed significantly higher rates of heavy drinking compared to stroke-free controls, with 13.7% of CIS patients classified as heavy alcohol users versus 6.7% of controls.
- The findings suggest that heavy alcohol consumption, especially binge drinking, is an independent risk factor for CIS in young men, but not in women.
