Understanding Cryptogenic Stroke: A Comprehensive Guide

By Ulf Ziemann

Approximately 25% of all strokes are cryptogenic, meaning the cause of the stroke remains unclear. This translates to about 300,000 new cryptogenic stroke patients per year in Europe and North America. The annual stroke recurrence rate for this patient group is 3-6%.

This monograph provides a detailed historical introduction, the ESUS diagnostic criteria (a new pathophysiological concept of cryptogenic stroke), demographic data, the diagnostic tools to be used, and guideline-based therapies, with an outlook on current ESUS therapy studies.
