Lack of association between hyperglycaemia at arrival and clinical outcomes in acute stroke patients treated with tissue plasminogen activator.

TL;DR: Thrombolytic-treated stroke patients with hyperglycaemia at presentation did not have significantly worse outcomes than others in this cohort, and data fail to confirm previously described associations seen in similarly sized studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atrial Fibrosis in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source - A Multi-Center Study.

TL;DR: In this article, left atrial (LA) cardiac disease is a suspected cause of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), and the hypothesis that LA fibrosis, quantified using late-gadoliniumenhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-MRI), predicts recurrent stroke or atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with ESUS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carotid Artery Stiffness Accurately Predicts White Matter Hyperintensity Volume 20 Years Later: A Secondary Analysis of the Atherosclerosis Risk in the Community Study.

TL;DR: Sonography measurements of carotid artery stiffness are predictive of white matter hyperintensity volume and total brain volume on MR imaging more than 20 years later, and the role of arterial stiffness as a method for identifying patients at risk of developing white matterhyperintensity volume is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ischemic Stroke Patients with Active Malignancy or Extracardiac Shunts Are More Likely to Have a Right-to-Left Shunt Found by TCD Than Echocardiogram

TL;DR: The results confirm previous reports that TCD is superior to echocardiography in the detection of right-to-left shunt and could lead to more comprehensive evaluation for occult malignancy or a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, both potentially treatable etiologies of ischemic stroke.
