Purpose Of Review: This review discusses current evidence on patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure compared with medical therapy alone in the prevention of stroke recurrence in patients with a PFO-associated cryptogenic stroke.
Recent Findings: The Risk of Paradoxical Embolism group built a 10-point Score, based on clinical parameters, that estimates the probability of finding a PFO in a patient with cryptogenic stroke and the probability that a PFO discovered in the setting of cryptogenic stroke is related to stroke vs. incidental.
Predicting asymptomatic coronary artery disease in patients with ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack: the PRECORIS score.

Background And Purpose: Identifying occult coronary artery stenosis may improve secondary prevention of stroke patients. The aim of this study was to derive and validate a simple score to predict severe occult coronary artery stenosis in stroke patients.
Methods: We derived a score from a French hospital-based cohort of consecutive patients (n=300) who had an ischemic stroke or a transient ischemic attack and no previous history of coronary heart disease (Predicting Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack [PRECORIS] score) and validated the score in a similar Korean cohort (n=1602).

Background: Aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of coronary events.
Aims: We assessed the predictive value of aortic stiffness for ≥50% asymptomatic coronary artery disease in a stroke/transient ischemic attack population.
Methods: We enrolled 300 consecutive patients aged 45-75 years with nondisabling, noncardioembolic ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, and no prior history of coronary artery disease.

Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the prevalence of asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients aged 45 to 75 who had experienced a nondisabling stroke or transient ischemic attack, revealing that approximately 18% of these patients had significant (>50%) asymptomatic CAD.
- The research found that the presence of asymptomatic CAD was associated with various traditional cardiovascular risk factors, including a higher Framingham Risk Score, cervicocephalic artery stenosis, excessive alcohol consumption, and a low ankle-brachial index.
- The findings suggest that many patients with stroke may benefit from evaluations for CAD, especially those with multiple vascular risk factors or existing atherosclerosis.
