Predicting the Propensity of Atrial Cardiopathy and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS).
Arq Bras Cardiol

Background: There is still a significant population of patients with embolic stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) whose specific attributable cause of the stroke remains unknown.
Objectives: Our research aimed to assess clinical, electrocardiogram, laboratory, and echocardiographic parameters that may predict the propensity of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
Methods: We enrolled seventy-five ESUS patients who were in sinus rhythm at the time of stroke diagnosis to undergo in-hospital 7-day Holter monitoring, testing for Pro-BNP, and a standard echocardiographic examination.
Development and validation of a risk stratification model for stroke recurrence after acute ischemic stroke in young adults: A nomogram-based, multicenter retrospective study.

Objective: The prevalence of ischemic stroke in young adults has increased dramatically. However, factors associated with prognosis in this cohort have not been well studied. This study primary aimed to construct and validate a nomogram for predicting stroke recurrence and to achieve risk stratification of young adults after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Department of Neurology, University of Pennsylvania, PA. (L.I., S.E.Z., S.E.K., B.L.C.).
Background: A modified computed tomography angiography (CTA)-based Carotid Plaque Reporting and Data System (Plaque-RADS) classification was applied to a cohort of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source to test whether high-risk Plaque-RADS subtypes are more prevalent on the ipsilateral side of stroke. With the widespread use of CTA for stroke evaluation, a CTA-based Plaque-RADS would be valuable for generalizability.
Methods: A retrospective observational cross-sectional study was conducted at a single integrated health system comprised of 3 hospitals with a comprehensive stroke center between October 1, 2015, and April 1, 2017.
Hypercoagulable states in young adults with ischemic stroke in a Stroke Belt state: a retrospective study.

We theorize that the southeastern United States has a higher stroke mortality rate and higher recurrent ischemic stroke rate than the rest of the United States due to (1) an increased prevalence of hypercoagulable states among young adults in the region, (2) failure to diagnose hypercoagulable states as the cause of ischemic stroke in young adults, and (3) underutilization of anticoagulation for ischemic stroke secondary prevention in young adults with hypercoagulable states. In an attempt to investigate this hypothesis, we conducted a retrospective chart review of 311 inpatients with first-ever ischemic stroke from age 18 to 55 years at an Oklahoma academic medical center from 1 July 2011 to 30 April 2017. Using Chi-squared test, we compared the stroke etiologic diagnosis of the attending neurologist at discharge-when hypercoagulable profile results were rarely available-to the diagnosis of a vascular neurologist postdischarge who had access to all available etiologic test results.

Introduction: Recent evidence suggests a possible role of non-stenotic carotid atherosclerotic plaques in the aetiology of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS).
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence and characteristics of non-stenotic carotid plaques (NSP) with high-risk features (complicated NSP) in internal carotid artery in unilateral ESUS in the anterior circulation. We searched Medline and Ovid-Embase databases.
