Classification of Stroke Subtypes

Classification of stroke subtypes.

This article reviews published stroke subtype classification systems and offers rules and a basis for a new way to subtype stroke patients. Stroke subtyping can have different purposes, e.g. describing patients' characteristics in a clinical trial, grouping patients in an epidemiological study, careful phenotyping of patients in a genetic study, and classifying patients for therapeutic decision...

Classification of subtypes of ischemic stroke: history of the trial of org 10172 in acute stroke treatment classification.

SPARKLE (Subtypes of Ischaemic Stroke Classification System), incorporating measurement of carotid plaque burden: a new validated tool for the classification of ischemic stroke subtypes.

BACKGROUND Previous classification systems of acute ischemic stroke (Causative Classification System, CCS, of acute ischemic stroke, Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment, TOAST) established the diagnosis of large artery disease (LAD) based on the presence or absence of carotid stenosis. However, carotid plaque burden is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular risk than stenosis. Our obje...

Retinopathy in Ischaemic Stroke Subtypes

Background and Purpose—Lacunar stroke is associated with an intrinsic cerebral small vessel disorder of unknown aetiology although possible causes include increased blood brain barrier permeability. Retinal arterioles are similar to cerebral small vessels and retinopathy occurs secondary to increased blood retinal barrier permeability. We hypothesized that there would be higher rates of retinop...
