Potential sources of emboli in patients with presumed transient cerebral or retinal ischaemia

Lancet
D P de Bono, C P Warlow

Abstract

Potential sources of emboli were sought by non-invasive techniques and, where appropriate, by angiography in 117 consecutive patients referred to a neurological service with symptoms of transient cerebral or retinal ischaemia. The non-invasive tests were also applied to 104 age and sex matched controls. 32% of the patients had structural cardiac abnormalities, 32% had arrhythmias on 24 h electrocardiographic monitoring, 15% had evidence of ischemic heart disease, and 34% were or had been hypertensive. The proportions of these abnormalities in the control group were 14%, 28%, 12%, and 10%, respectively. 37% of the patients who had carotid angiograms had significant arterial lesions. Some patients had both cardiac and carotid lesions but 25% of the patients who had complete investigations had no detectable evidence of any cardiovascular disease.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
