Why the study?
Cardiogenic stroke has more etiologies, greater severity, worse prognosis, and higher recurrence rates than other ischemic stroke subtypes.
This minireview summarizes the etiological classification, diagnostic methods, and interventions for cardiogenic stroke.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
New insights into cardiogenic stroke classification and interventions are hypothesis-generating; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Cardioembolic stroke, referred to as cardiogenic stroke, is a clinical syndrome in which emboli from the heart pass through the circulatory system and cause cerebral artery embolism and corresponding brain dysfunction. Compared to other subtypes of ischemic stroke, cardiogenic stroke presents with more etiologies, greater severity, worse prognosis, and a higher recurrence rate. In this minireview, we provide new insights into the etiological classification, diagnostic methods, and interventions of cardiogenic stroke.
