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

Background: Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) identifies patients with
cryptogenic ischemic stroke presumed due to embolism from several unidentified sources …

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 …

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

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

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

In 2014, the definition of embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS) emerged as a new
clinical construct to characterize cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients with complete vascular …

Background and Purpose—Emboli in embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) may
originate from various potential embolic sources (PES), some of which may respond better to …

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 …
