• Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source and Detection of Atrial Fibrillation on Follow-Up: How Much Causality Is There? 

      Ntaios G., Papavasileiou V., Lip G.Y.H., Milionis H., Makaritsis K., Vemmou A., Koroboki E., Manios E., Spengos K., Michel P., Vemmos K. (2016)
      Background There is increasing debate whether atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes during follow-up in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) are causally associated with the event. AF-related strokes are ...
    • Identification of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source and low risk of new incident atrial fibrillation: The AF-ESUS score 

      Ntaios G., Perlepe K., Lambrou D., Sirimarco G., Strambo D., Eskandari A., Karagkiozi E., Vemmou A., Korompoki E., Manios E., Makaritsis K., Vemmos K., Michel P. (2021)
      Background and aims: Only a minority of patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) receive prolonged cardiac monitoring despite current recommendations. The identification of ESUS patients who have low ...
    • Review and update of the concept of embolic stroke of undetermined source 

      Diener H.-C., Easton J.D., Hart R.G., Kasner S., Kamel H., Ntaios G. (2022)
      Ischaemic strokes have traditionally been classified according to the TOAST criteria, in which strokes with unclear aetiology are classified as cryptogenic strokes. However, the definition of cryptogenic stroke did not ...
    • Searching for Atrial Fibrillation Poststroke: A White Paper of the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration 

      Schnabel R.B., Haeusler K.G., Healey J.S., Freedman B., Boriani G., Brachmann J., Brandes A., Bustamante A., Casadei B., Crijns H.J.G.M., Doehner W., Engström G., Fauchier L., Friberg L., Gladstone D.J., Glotzer T.V., Goto S., Hankey G.J., Harbison J.A., Hobbs F.D.R., Johnson L.S.B., Kamel H., Kirchhof P., Korompoki E., Krieger D.W., Lip G.Y.H., Løchen M.-L., Mairesse G.H., Montaner J., Neubeck L., Ntaios G., Piccini J.P., Potpara T.S., Quinn T.J., Reiffel J.A., Ribeiro A.L.P., Rienstra M., Rosenqvist M., Sakis T., Sinner M.F., Svendsen J.H., Van Gelder I.C., Wachter R., Wijeratne T., Yan B. (2019)
      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. Given the efficacy of oral anticoagulants ...
