ABSTRACT Background: Among patients with acute ischemic stroke with a mismatch between deficit severity and infarct volume, thrombectomy performed within a 6-24 hours time window has efficacy and safety similar to treatment within 6 hours. However, whether magnetic resonance imaging with T2 diffusion-we...
Abstract Background: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been considered a potential mechanism of embolic stroke of undetermined origin. Objective: The aim of the present study was to identify the features of the right-to-left shunt (RLS) in patients with undetermined embolic ischemic stroke and compare the...
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Myocardial speckle-tracking echocardiography can detect subtle abnormalities in the left atrial function. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between left atrial myocardium and tissue function n assessed by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography and the...
We report a 78-year-old man with a basal Rankin score of 2 points, last seen 10 hours before in good conditions, who arrived at the emergency department with left hemiparesis, hypoesthesia, and spacial neglect. Neuroimaging was compatible with stroke in the territory of the right middle cerebral artery. ...
Abstract Neurological manifestations add prognostic severity to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Here, we report a case of a pregnant patient with COVID-19 that progressed with neurological complications. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed cerebral ischemic insults associated with cortical laminar ne...
Recentes estudos indicaram que o forame oval patente (FOP)
pode ser responsável pelo acidente vascular cerebral criptogênico
(AVC) em pacientes jovens que apresentam condições anatômicas
favoráveis a essa anomalia e que a oclusão transcateter reduz a
incidência do acidente vascular cerebral quand...
Abstract Background Neuroimaging is widely used for diagnosis and treatment of stroke. However, little is known about whether the radiation doses received by patients comply with international safety guidelines. Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effective radiation dose received whil...
Fundamento: O acidente vascular encefálico (AVE) é prevalente no mundo. Reconhecimento precoce da doença cardiovascular
subclínica pode predizer um primeiro episódio de AVE isquêmico; o speckle tracking associado à ecocardiografia (STE) permite
detecção precoce da disfunção miocárdica subclí...
