Subtypes of Ischemic Stroke: Children CF Young Adults

Predictors of migraine subtypes in young adults with ischemic stroke: the italian project on stroke in young adults.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE the mechanisms underlying the relationship between migraine and ischemic stroke remain uncertain. The aim of the present study was to investigate the predictive value of major cardiovascular risk factors, cardiac interatrial abnormalities, and additional biological markers on migraine subtypes in young adults with ischemic stroke. METHODS ischemic stroke patients aged 4...

Stroke subtypes and risk factors of ischemic stroke in young Korean adults

Background and Objectives: This study aimed to describe the ischemic stroke subtypes and risk factors in young Korean adults, focusing mainly on traditional risk factors and management of ischemic stroke. Methods: The study patients were the fi rst-ever acute cerebral ischemic infarction age 49 years or below admitted to the Kyung Hee University Medical Centre from September 2003 to June 2009, ...

Acute ischemic stroke in children versus young adults.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare children and young adults with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in 2 large registries. METHODS We compared clinical characteristics, stroke etiology, workup, and outcome (modified Rankin scale score [mRS] at 3-6 months) in children (1 month-16 years) and young adults (16.1-45 years) with AIS. Data of children were collected prospectively in the nation...

Ethnic differences in ischemic stroke subtypes in young-onset stroke: the Stroke Prevention in Young Adults Study

BACKGROUND Prior studies indicate that young African-Americans (AA) have a greater frequency of ischemic stroke than similarly aged European-Americans (EA). We hypothesized that differences in stroke subtype frequency mediated through sex and differing risk factor profiles may play a role in ethnicity-specific stroke. Utilizing our biracial young-onset stroke population, we explored these relat...
