Atrial high-rate episodes and stroke prevention. [PDF]

, 2017
While the benefit of oral anticoagulants (OACs) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is well established, it is not known whether oral anticoagulation is indicated in patients with atrial high-rate episodes (AHRE) recorded on a

High Resolution Magnetic Resonance Vessel Wall Imaging: A Valuable Addition to Stroke Work‐Up

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Intracranial High‐Resolution Vessel Wall (HRVW) MRI is sometimes used alongside standard ischemic stroke (IS) work‐up, yet its clinical and therapeutic interests remain debated. We aimed to assess the intracranial HRVW‐MRI findings in IS patients and their impact on the IS etiologic classification as well as on treatment ...

Evaluation of a clinical tool for early etiology identification in status epilepticus. [PDF]

, 2014
OBJECTIVES: Because early etiologic identification is critical to select appropriate specific status epilepticus (SE) management, we aim to validate a clinical tool we developed that uses history and readily available investigations to guide prompt ...

Silent Atrial Fibrillation and Cryptogenic Strokes [PDF]

The 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

Associating cryptogenic ischemic stroke in the young with cardiovascular risk factor phenotypes

Scientific Reports, 2021
Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) in the young is increasing in prevalence and the largest subtype within this cohort is cryptogenic. To curb this trend, new ways of defining cryptogenic stroke and associated risk factors are needed.

Clinical Significance of Microembolic Signal Detection in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Insights Into Ongoing Cerebral Embolization and Occult Etiologies

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this prospective study of anterior circulation AIS patients, microembolic signals (MES) were detected in 16% of cases, absent in lacunar stroke. MES presence was linked to multiple‐territory infarcts, newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation, and cancer‐associated stroke.

Disruption of the Blood–Brain Barrier Predicts Progression of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease White Matter Hyperintensities

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 437-448, February 2026.
Objective The objective of this study was to test if blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption, detected using dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) imaging, would predict progression of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) over the subsequent year in patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease. Methods The study included patients with a history of stroke

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

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