Why the study?
Cardiogenic embolism causes one in six ischemic strokes, and this study aimed to evaluate the clinical assessment of ischemic stroke patients under 45 years of age.
May inform cardioembolic evaluation in ischemic stroke under age 45; leaves open optimal prevention strategies.
Introduction: One in six ischemic strokes is caused by cardiogenic embolism. The current knowledge regarding the natural history, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cardioembolic stroke is reviewed in this study. Nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation is the most frequent substrate for brain embolism and patients with this dysrhythmia have a fivefold increase in the risk of stroke. Study aimed to evaluate the clinical assessment of the patients with ischemic stroke less than 45 years of age.
