DOI: 10.1007/s11936-019-0786-4
Abstract: Purpose of reviewCryptogenic stroke describes a subset of ischemic stroke for which no cause can be found despite a structured investigation. There are a number of putative mechanisms of cryptogenic ischemic stroke including a covert… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2019.04.008
Abstract: Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) represents a subgroup of cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CS) distinguished by high probability of an underlying embolic mechanism. There are scarce population-based data regarding the incidence, characteristics and outcomes of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2020.116985
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Elderly cryptogenic ischemic stroke (IS) patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) have a high risk of recurrent IS (RIS) compared to other stroke subtypes. In young ESUS patients, different sources of embolism… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehz746.0680
Abstract: ACE2 activity levels correlate with adverse left atrial remodelling in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Several biochemical and structural markers have been associated with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). The relationship between ACE2 activity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/str.51.suppl_1.25
Abstract: In ESUS, the relationship between atrial cardiopathy, occult AF and embolic stroke risk remains unclear. Studies suggest that left atrial volume index (LAVi) may be a better estimate of atrial cardiopathy than LA diameter. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/str.54.suppl_1.wp199
Abstract: Introduction: Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) is suspected to be primarily of cardioembolic origin with ongoing trials evaluating cardiac biomarkers to confirm or refute this theory. Presently, it is unclear whether left ventricular ejection… read more here.
