Background and Purpose—A new clinical construct termed embolic stroke of undetermined
source (ESUS) was recently introduced, but no such population has been described yet. Our …

Background Recent evidence supports that most non-lacunar cryptogenic strokes are
embolic. Accordingly, these strokes have been designated as embolic strokes of …

Background and Purpose—Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) designates
patients with nonlacunar cryptogenic ischemic strokes in whom embolism is the likely stroke …

Importance The concept of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) unifies a
subgroup of cryptogenic strokes based on neuroimaging, a defined minimum set of …

Importance One-third of ischemic strokes have no identifiable cause after standard
evaluation. In 2014, researchers termed theseembolic strokes of undetermined source …

Background We aimed to assess the prevalence and degree of overlap of potential embolic
sources (PES) in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). Methods and …

The term embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) was introduced in 2014 to describe
patients with a nonlacunar ischemic stroke and no convincing etiology. The terms ESUS and …

Ischaemic strokes have traditionally been classified according to the TOAST criteria, in
which strokes with unclear aetiology are classified as cryptogenic strokes. However, the …

Background and Purpose—The risk of stroke recurrence in patients with Embolic Stroke of
Undetermined Source (ESUS) is high, and the optimal antithrombotic strategy for secondary …

Cryptogenic (of unknown cause) ischaemic strokes are now thought to comprise about 25%
of all ischaemic strokes. Advances in imaging techniques and improved understanding of …
