Abstrakt: Cardioembolism accounts globally for around 25% of ischemic strokes and is more often associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Potential sources of cardioembolism into the intracranial circulation include paradoxic embolism, dysrhythmias, structural heart disease, and valvular heart disease. To identify the etiology of a patient's ischemic stroke, thorough investigation of the intracardiac structures, assessment of dysrhythmias, and consideration of high-risk events such as cardiac surgery are crucial. Treatment after cardioembolic stroke can be personalized based on the underlying cardioembolic source to minimize the risk of recurrent cerebral ischemic events.
