Embolic strokes of undetermined source: Prevalence and patient features in the ESUS Global Registry
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Recent evidence supports that most non-lacunar cryptogenic strokes are embolic. Accordingly, these strokes have been designated as embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS).
AIMS: We undertook an international survey to characterize the frequency and clinical features of ESUS patients across global regions.
