Correspondence to: Dr Chambers. How is cardiac stroke diagnosed? Approximately 20% of strokes are caused by cerebral haemorrhage and 80% by infarction.1 Of the infarctions, a proportion are thrombotic and the rest as a result of emboli either from artery to artery within the cerebral circulation or from the heart or aorta.

متن کاملAdvances in the Management of Transient Ischaemic Attack and Stroke
Among many important advances in the management of transient ischaemic attack (TIA) and stroke are: the updated definition of TIA; risk stratification scores for TIA; the urgent diagnostic and treatment process for TIA; thrombectomy treatment for large vessel occlusive ischaemic stroke; cryptogenic stroke evaluation and treatment, including long-term monitoring for paroxysmal atrial fibrillatio...
متن کاملPrognosis of vertebrobasilar transient ischaemic attack and minor stroke.
Vertebrobasilar (VB) territory transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) and minor strokes are perceived to have a better prognosis than carotid territory events, and are sometimes managed less aggressively. However, this notion stems mainly from a few small studies in the 1960s and 1970s, and has not been systematically tested. We therefore identified all published studies of prognosis after TIA or m...
