The main causes and current principles of prevention of cardioembolic stroke

Abstract

Cardiocerebral embolism is responsible for the development of 30-40% of ischemic stroke events. [1-3] Apart from its high incidence, cardioembolic stroke (CEI) is often associated with significant residual impairment of motor, speech and coordination functions, high risk of relapse, and significantly reduces the quality of life of patients. Therefore, it is relevant to timely diagnose the cardiac causes of stroke and determine the most appropriate prevention strategy.
