INTRODUCTION: Preventing ischemic strokes in patients with atrial cardiopathy is particularly challenging due to the elevated risks associated with the condition. While numerous studies have established the efficacy of anticoagulants in preventing stroke, their benefits for patients with atrial cardiopat...
BACKGROUND: It is suggested that survivors of different types of cancer may have an increased risk of stroke. Our study aims to evaluate cancer patients and non-cancer controls by analyzing stroke events in each group. Previous studies concluded that certain types of cancer increased stroke risk, however...

INTRODUCTION: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality, occurring in 1% to 2% of the total population and can reach up to 25% in patients (pts) aged 80 years or older referred for TAVI. However, this condition has been excluded from major randomized studies. Recently,...
BACKGROUND: Cryptogenic strokes, accounting for 40% of acute ischemic strokes, are linked to patent foramen ovale (PFO). Despite research efforts, uncertainties remain about optimal prevention strategies. OBJECTIVES: Therefore, we aimed to review RCTs and Propensity Score Matching (PSM) Studies comparing...
Diretrizes médicas recomendam avaliar o risco cardiovascular usando escores para auxiliar a tomada de decisão clínica. A efetiva comunicação do risco ao paciente pode melhorar a conscientização sobre sua condição e a adesão ao tratamento. Vários escores de risco cardiovascular foram desenvolvi...

BACKGROUND: The optimal management of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors during elective surgeries remains uncertain. While some studies suggest that continuing ACE inhibitors increase the risk of perioperative hypotension, others argue that discontinuation may heighten the risk of significan...
BACKGROUND: Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) is a nonlacunar ischemic stroke with no clear cause, having a 4%-5% annual recurrence rate. The potential benefits of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) relative to aspirin in patients with ESUS remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to perform a syst...
