Mashup Score: 1Article Commentary: “Higher Frequency of Premature Atrial Contractions Correlates With Atrial Fibrillation Detection after Cryptogenic Stroke” - 2 hour(s) ago
After a cryptogenic stroke, many patients undergo placement of an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) to detect paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Because placement of an ICM is invasive, many patients are hesitant to und ergo the procedure. This study provides information about a patient population that might be more likely to benefit from placement of an ICM. In this article, the authors retrospectively reviewed cases of cryptogenic stroke who underwent ICM placement at 8 stroke centers in Japan from

Mashup Score: 18Article Commentary: “CTP-Defined Large Core Is a Better Predictor of Poor Outcome for Endovascular Treatment Than ASPECTS-Defined Large Core” - 23 hour(s) ago
The authors of the present study address an important and topical question: What is the best imaging modality to define large core infarcts? Over the last 2 years, multiple RCTs (RESCUE-Japan Limit, ANGEL-ASPECT, SELECT-2) have demonstrated the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for large core infarcts. These studies used a combination of modalities to define large core, including non-contrast head CT (NCCT) using the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS), as well as
