Key result
Ischemic stroke subtype significantly determined 1-year recurrence rates, which were 14.4% for cardioembolic, 7.3% for atherothrombotic, 6.2% for lacunar, and 7.8% for uncertain cause infarctions.

May guide subtype-specific secondary prevention; leaves open whether targeted therapies reduce recurrence.

Yes
Stroke recurrence rates and risk factors differ significantly by ischemic stroke subtype, with cardioembolic stroke having the highest 1-year recurrence rate (14.4%).
Soda et al. (2004) conducted a cohort in acute ischemic stroke (n=885). Ischemic stroke subtypes was evaluated on Stroke recurrence. Ischemic stroke subtype significantly determined 1-year recurrence rates, which were 14.4% for cardioembolic, 7.3% for atherothrombotic, 6.2% for lacunar, and 7.8% for uncertain cause infarctions.
