pubmed:abstractText |
Proximal aortic atheromas have been suggested as a potential ischemic stroke determinant in the elderly, especially in cases of unexplained (cryptogenic) stroke. Our aim was to assess the potential role of proximal aortic atheromas as an independent risk factor for stroke by comparing their frequency in patients with acute ischemic stroke and in stroke-free control subjects. The frequency of atheromas was also compared among different ethnic groups.
