Early Recurrent Ischemic Lesions in Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke and Patent Foramen Ovale: An Observational Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Background: Randomized controlled trials indicate that patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure reduces risk of stroke recurrence in patients with cryptogenic stroke and PFO. However, the optimal time point for PFO closure is unknown and depends on the risk of

Platelet function suggests cardioembolic aetiology in cryptogenic stroke
Scientific Reports, 2023 Platelet-monocyte (PMA) and platelet-neutrophil aggregations (PNA) play critical roles in the evolution of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The present study investigates the mechanistic basis of platelet responsiveness in cryptogenic stroke compared with ...

Current perspectives on the clinical management of cryptogenic stroke [PDF]
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2023 Introduction Cryptogenic stroke is a heterogeneous entity defined as an ischemic stroke for which no probable cause is identified despite thorough diagnostic evaluation. Since about a quarter of all ischemic strokes are classified as cryptogenic, it is a

Cryptogenic stroke and TIA: Suggested diagnostic approach while waiting for evaluation and treatment guidelines [PDF]
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2022 Empiric strategies for secondary prevention in cryptogenic stroke and cryptogenic TIA are lacking. The best therapy to prevent recurrence depends on the cause of stroke. Attempting a correct diagnosis is therefore the fundamental goal of stroke treatment.

Association between the left-sided atrial septal pouch and the cryptogenic stroke – an updated systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsCryptogenic stroke, named embolic stroke of undetermined source, refers to patients for whom the etiology of embolism remains unknown. Recently a new cardiac entity, the left-sided septal pouch (LSSP), has been identified as a possible source of ...

Association between glymphatic dysfunction and cryptogenic stroke risk in patients with patent foramen ovale: a retrospective cross-sectional study [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurologyBackgroundPatent foramen ovale (PFO) is strongly associated with cryptogenic stroke (CS), but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. The glymphatic system plays a crucial role in central nervous system homeostasis, and its dysfunction ...

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023 Up to 20% of patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack have a prior history of known atrial fibrillation (AF). Additionally, unknown AF can be detected by different monitoring strategies in up to 23% of patients with cryptogenic or non ...
