CT Angiography of the Aorta Is Superior to Transesophageal Echocardiography for Determining Stroke Subtypes in Patients with Cryptogenic Ischemic Stroke [PDF]
, 2012 Background: The etiology of ischemic strokes remains cryptogenic in about one third of patients, even after extensive workup in specialized centers. Atherosclerotic plaques in the aorta can cause thromboembolic events but are often overlooked.

Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation Indicators in Cryptogenic Stroke Survivors' P-Wave Indices: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
J ArrhythmThis study found that baseline P‐wave duration is significantly prolonged in cryptogenic stroke survivors with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation, supporting its role as a non‐invasive marker of atrial conduction abnormality and a tool for risk stratification and secondary stroke prevention.

Stroke Prevention After Cryptogenic Stroke [PDF]
Current Cardiology Reports, 2021 Cryptogenic stroke represents a heterogenous but clinically important collection of stroke etiologies for which our understanding continues to grow. Here, we review our current knowledge and most recent recommendations on secondary prevention for common causes of cryptogenic stroke including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, atrial cardiopathy, patent ...

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 ...

Atrial Cardiopathy and Cryptogenic Stroke [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Recent advances in pathophysiology suggest that a pathological atrial substrate can cause embolic stroke even in patients without atrial fibrillation (AF). This pathological condition is called “atrial cardiopathy”, which indicates atrial structural and functional disorders that can precede AF.

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.
