Relationship between left atrial volume and diastolic dysfunction in 500 Brazilian patients [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Left atrial volume index (LAVI) increase has been associated to left ventricle (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD), a marker of cardiovascular events (atrial fibrillation, stroke, heart failure, death).

Mechanisms of cardioembolic stroke revisited. Atrial cardiopathy
There has been only moderate progress in our understanding of potential relation between atrial arrhythmia and stroke over years. Current approach is still based on a hypothesis that atrial contractile dysfunction due to fibrillation causes blood stasis, which accompanied by other factors acting together as Virchow’s triad produces thrombus and ...

Biomarkers of atrial cardiopathy in patients with different pathogenetic subtypes of ischemic stroke
Studies of the biomarkers of atrial cardiopathy seem to be promising for identifying patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS), in which an intensive search for atrial fibrillation is indicated.

Epidemiological Profile and Vascular Risk Factors of Stroke Patients in a Moroccan Provincial Hospital: A Retrospective Study. [PDF]
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and its burden is particularly high in low‐ and middle‐income countries. In Morocco, epidemiological data on stroke subtypes, risk factors, symptoms and early outcomes remain limited. The objective of this study was to better understand stroke profiles in Morocco and identify the
