Objectives: Stroke risk immediately after TIA defined by time-based criteria is high, and
prognostic scores (ABCD2 and ABCD3-I) have been developed to assist management. The …

Substantial experimental data and recent clinical evidence suggesting that tissue reperfusion
is a better predictor of outcome after thrombolysis than recanalization necessitate that …

Although the exact prevalence of antiplatelet resistance in ischemic stroke is not known,
estimates about the two most widely used antiplatelet agents – aspirin and clopidogrel – …

Background The ABCD 2 score improves stratification of patients with transient ischaemic
attack by early stroke risk. We aimed to develop two new versions of the score: one that was …

Background: Myocardial injury can occur after ischemic stroke in the absence of primary
cardiac causes. The neuroanatomic basis of stroke-related myocardial injury is not well …

… RD, EM and MT wrote the first draft of the manuscript. All authors reviewed and edited the
manuscript for important intellectual content and approved the final version of the manuscript. …

Background: Leukoaraiosis (LA) is closely associated with aging, a major determinant of
clinical outcome after ischemic stroke. In this study we sought to identify whether LA, …

Background and Purpose— Leukoaraiosis (LA) is associated with structural and functional
vascular changes that may compromise tissue perfusion at the microvascular level. We …

Background and Purpose— Predictive instruments based on clinical features for early stroke
risk after transient ischemic attack suffer from limited specificity. We sought to combine …

Background: Valid and reliable ischemic stroke subtype determination is crucial for well-powered
multicenter studies. The Causative Classification of Stroke System (CCS, available at …
