Adherence to oral anticoagulation in ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
(2021)Background: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) have superior safety and comparable efficacy profile compared to vitamin-K antagonists (VKAs), with more convenient dosing schemes. However, issues with ... -
Age- A nd sex-specific analysis of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source
(2017)Objective: To investigate whether the correlation of age and sex with the risk of recurrence and death seen in patients with previous ischemic stroke is also evident in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source ... -

Aspirin Versus Clopidogrel for Type 2 Diabetic Patients with First-Ever Noncardioembolic Acute Ischemic Stroke: Ten-Year Survival Data from the Athens Stroke Outcome Project
(2017)Background and objective Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of stroke and poor outcome following a stroke event. We assessed the impact of discharge treatment with aspirin versus clopidogrel on the ... -
Assessment of the reporting quality of double-blind RCTs for ischemic stroke based on the CONSORT statement
(2020)Background-Purpose: It is critical that Randomized Controlled Trials(RCTs) present complete and transparent reporting. The present study aims to determine the reporting quality of double-blind RCTs for medicinal interventions ... -
ASTRAL, DRAGON and SEDAN scores predict stroke outcome more accurately than physicians
(2016)Background and purpose: ASTRAL, SEDAN and DRAGON scores are three well-validated scores for stroke outcome prediction. Whether these scores predict stroke outcome more accurately compared with physicians interested in ... -
Case Series: Bilateral Homonymous Visual Field Defects Due to Bilateral Ischemic Strokes
(2018)SIGNIFICANCE Bilateral strokes are rare and should be considered when patients present with bilateral visual field loss characterized by patterns consistent with right and left-sided homonymous visual field defects. ... -
Causes and Risk Factors of Cerebral Ischemic Events in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention: The RENo Study
(2019)Background and Purpose-Despite treatment with oral anticoagulants, patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) may experience ischemic cerebrovascular events. The aims of this case-control study in patients with AF ... -
Characteristics and Outcomes in Patients with COVID-19 and Acute Ischemic Stroke: The Global COVID-19 Stroke Registry
(2020)Recent case-series of small size implied a pathophysiological association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and severe large-vessel acute ischemic stroke. Given that severe strokes are typically associated with ... -

(2018)Background and Purpose: Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses compared the efficacy and safety of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure versus medical treatment in patients with cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic ... -
Comparison of Risk Scores for the Prediction of the Overall Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Ischemic Stroke: The Athens Stroke Registry
(2019)Background: Stratification of overall vascular risk in patients with ischemic stroke is important as it may guide management decisions. Currently available schemes have only modest prognostic accuracy. The TRA2°P score ... -
Conjugate eye deviation as predictor of acute cortical and subcortical ischemic brain lesions
(2016)Objectives Non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT) of the brain is used to exclude intracranial hemorrhage in patients who are considered for treatment with tissue plasminogen activator due to stroke symptoms. However, ... -
COVID-19 and ischemic stroke
(2021)Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a substantial proportion of COVID-19 patients had documented thrombotic complications and ischemic stroke. Several mechanisms related to immune-mediated thrombosis, the renin ... -
