Research progress on risk factors for cardiogenic stroke

Abstract

Abstract:

Cardiogenic stroke, also defined as cardioembolic stroke (CES), accounts for 20%-30% of all ischemic stroke. Compared to ischemic stroke caused by other causes, CES has more severe clinical symptoms, poorer prognosis, and higher recurrence rate. Therefore, effective prevention and control of CES, especially the identification and intervention of its risk factors, has become a key clinical priority. This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding of risk factors for CES.

Key words: Cardiogenic stroke, Cardioembolic stroke, Risk factor, Prevention
