Cardioembolic Stroke Diagnosis Using Blood Biomarkers
Stroke is one of the main causes of death and disability in the world. Cardioembolic etiology accounts for approximately one fifth of all ischemic strokes whereas 25-30% remains undetermined even after an advanced diagnostic workup. Despite there is not any biomarker currently approved to distinguish cardioembolic stroke among other etiologies in clinical practice the use of biomarkers represen...
متن کاملBlood Biomarkers in Cardioembolic Stroke
One promising field in neurovascular diseases investigation is the use of biomarkers to guide stroke etiology diagnosis and classification. Since treatment differs among etiologic subtypes and nowadays many patients receive a diagnosis of undetermined stroke, biomarkers might become an important additional diagnostic tool. In this review we update current knowledge about biomarkers related with...
متن کاملCardioembolic Stroke.
Cardiac embolism accounts for an increasing proportion of ischemic strokes and might multiply several-fold during the next decades. However, research points to several potential strategies to stem this expected rise in cardioembolic stroke. First, although one-third of strokes are of unclear cause, it is increasingly accepted that many of these cryptogenic strokes arise from a distant embolism ...
متن کاملNew Advances in the Diagnosis and Management of Cardioembolic Stroke
Cardioembolic stroke accounts for one-fifth of ischemic stroke and is severe and prone to early recurrence. Magnetic resonance imaging, transcranial Doppler, echocardiography, 24-hour electrocardiographic monitoring and electrophysiological study are tools for detecting cardioembolic sources. Non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cause of cardioembolic stroke and long-term an...
متن کاملA Bioclinical Pattern for the Early Diagnosis of Cardioembolic Stroke
Background and Scope. Early etiologic diagnosis of ischemic stroke subtype guides acute management and treatment. We aim to evaluate if plasma biomarkers can predict stroke subtypes in the early phase from stroke onset. Methods. Plasma N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), D-dimer, C-reactive protein, serum albumin, and globulin levels have been investigated in 114 con...
