Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Wiener klinische Wochenschrift"
DOI: 10.1007/s00508-020-01727-5
Abstract: It is assumed that most cases of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) are of cardioembolic origin. The data about outcome after the treatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for this type of acute ischemic stroke… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)31071-8
Abstract: Implantable loop recorders (ILR) are frequently placed after embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) to monitor for occult atrial fibrillation. High false alerts from ILR have been described in routine monitoring practice. We sought to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14656566.2022.2071125
Abstract: ABSTRACT Introduction ‘Embolic stroke of undetermined source’ (ESUS) is a term coined to identify non-lacunar stroke whose mechanism is likely to be embolic, and the source remains unidentified. The best antithrombotic treatment for preventing stroke… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/europace/euad122.625
Abstract: Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Embolic cerebrovascular events that remain of unknown etiology after careful diagnostic evaluation are known as Embolic Strokes of Undetermined Source (ESUS). Subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) is… read more here.

Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source: A Systematic Review and Clinical Update
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Stroke"
DOI: 10.1161/strokeaha.116.016414
Abstract: Background and Purpose— Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) designates patients with nonlacunar cryptogenic ischemic strokes in whom embolism is the likely stroke mechanism. It has been hypothesized that anticoagulation is more efficacious than antiplatelet… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/strokeaha.120.030537
Abstract: Background and Purpose: Approximately one-sixth of all ischemic strokes are attributable to embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). Recent analyses suggest that atrial cardiopathy and nonstenotic carotid plaque (nsCP) may represent 2 distinct underlying causes… read more here.
