Association between the left-sided atrial septal pouch and the cryptogenic stroke – an updated systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Cryptogenic 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 Neurology
BackgroundPatent 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 ...

Atrial Fibrillation Detection and Ischemic Stroke Recurrence in Cryptogenic Stroke: A Retrospective, Multicenter, Observational Study

Journal of the American Heart Association
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is known to be a strong risk factor for stroke. However, the risk of stroke recurrence in patients with cryptogenic stroke with AF detected after stroke by an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) is not well known.

WATCH AFib: smartwatches for detection of atrial fibrillation in secondary prevention of cryptogenic stroke—protocol for a prospective, intraindividual-controlled, multicentre clinical study [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology
RationaleDetection of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and subsequent anticoagulation therapy reduce the risk of recurrent stroke, while prolonged rhythm monitoring significantly increases AFib detection.

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 ...

Left atrial appendage volume increased in more than half of patients with cryptogenic stroke. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Ischemic strokes without a well-defined etiology are labeled as cryptogenic, and account for 30-40% of strokes in stroke registries.

Uncommon Female-Predominant Etiologies of Cryptogenic Stroke

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
The etiologies of cryptogenic stroke are complex and heterogeneous. A number of uncommon etiologies are not fully recognized, some of which predominantly affect females.

Underlying causes of cryptogenic stroke and TIA in The Nordic Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke (NOR-FIB) Study – the importance of comprehensive clinical evaluation

BMC Neurology, 2023
Background Cryptogenic stroke is a heterogeneous condition, with a wide spectrum of possible underlying causes for which the optimal secondary prevention may differ substantially. Attempting a correct etiological diagnosis to reduce the stroke recurrence

Secondary Stroke Prevention Following Embolic Stroke of Unknown Source in the Absence of Documented Atrial Fibrillation: A Clinical Review

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Approximately one‐third of ischemic strokes are classified as cryptogenic strokes. The risk of stroke recurrence in these patients is significantly elevated with up to one‐third of patients with cryptogenic stroke experiencing a further stroke within 10 ...

Early Recurrent Ischemic Lesions in Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke and Patent Foramen Ovale: An Observational Study

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
