Importance Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world, and nearly one-third of
ischemic strokes are lacunar strokes (LSs) or small subcortical infarcts. Although smaller in …

Cardiac thromboembolism attributed to atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for up to one-
third of ischemic strokes. Stroke may be the first manifestation of previously undetected AF …

Lacunar stroke is a marker of cerebral small vessel disease and accounts for up to 25% of
ischaemic stroke. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of potential lacunar stroke …

Clinically recognized atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with higher risk of complications,
including ischemic stroke, cognitive decline, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and death. It …

Since the term “lacune” was adopted in the 1800s to describe infarctions from cerebral small
vessels, their underlying pathophysiological basis remained obscure until the 1960s when …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) could be a coincidental finding in certain patients with ischemic stroke
and increased burden of underlying cardiovascular disease. Concomitant large-vessel …

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anticoagulants (AC) and
antiplatelets (APT) in patients with recent small subcortical infarctions (RSSI) and atrial …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the leading cause of cardioembolic stroke (CES), and
patients with stroke and AF are frequently assumed to have CES. However, strokes …
