The Role of Genetics in Stroke Risk and Outcome: A Review of Current Evidence

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study delineates the multiple pathways leading to stroke, encompassing genetic risk factors such as lipid/cholesterol metabolism, blood pressure regulation genes, and endothelial dysfunction. The report includes genetic pathways such as Val66Met polymorphism, prothrombin G20210A, interleukin‐6 and tumor necrosis factor gene variant, along with ...

Embolic stroke of unknown source (ESUS) in patients with atrial septum defect and patent foramen ovale: difference and similarities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Introduction Paradoxical embolism from right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a well-characterized cause of embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS).

Silent Atrial Fibrillation and Cryptogenic Strokes [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Medicine, 2017
A new suspected cause of cryptic strokes is "silent atrial fibrillation." Pacemakers and other implanted devices allow continuous recording of cardiac rhythm for months or years. They have discovered that short periods of atrial fibrillation lasting minutes or hours are frequent and usually are asymptomatic. A meta-analysis of 50 studies involving more

Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Among Patients With a Cryptogenic Stroke Linked to Patent Foramen Ovale—A Review of the Literature

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2020
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) can occur simultaneously with a cryptogenic stroke (CS) linked to patent foramen ovale (PFO), given paradox thromboembolism as potential stroke cause.

Diagnostic Utility of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Identifying Atrial Fibrillation Post-Cryptogenic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesPathophysiology
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly contributes to acute ischemic stroke, with undetected AF being a common culprit in cryptogenic strokes.

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,
