TL;DR: Preventing both stroke and dementia is a top priority for the World Stroke Organization and the United Nations General Assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maria Bres Bullrich,Sachin Pandey,Michael Mayich,Kayla McConvey,Sebastian Fridman,Lauren M. Mai,Luciano A. Sposato +6 more
TL;DR: Although rarely found among patients with acute ischemic stroke, calcified cerebral emboli provide diagnostic information on potential stroke etiologies to guide secondary prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Author response: Atrial fibrillation detected after stroke is related to a low risk of ischemic stroke recurrence.
TL;DR: It is proposed that mild structural changes occurring in the atrial myocardium and subendocardium soon after stroke may constitute the anatomical substrate for short-lasted and low-burden atrial fibrillation and other cardiac arrhythmias.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients on prior OAC therapy had a higher risk of mortality and worse clinical outcomes compared to patients without prior Oac therapy, even after adjusting for comorbidities using a PSM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prolonged Cardiac Monitoring for Atrial Fibrillation Detection After Stroke
TL;DR: Prolonged cardiac monitoring is one of the pillars of the diagnostic workup for patients with ischemic stroke, however, the ideal duration of PCM for atrial fibrillation detection after stroke has not been established.
