Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) within 60 days, defined as:

1. Recent ESUS (including transient ischemic attack with positive neuroimaging)
visualized by brain computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
that is not lacunar (i.e., lacunar infarcts are subcortical infarcts = 1.5 cm in
the territory of middle cerebral artery or pons; infarcts involving the
cerebellum or lateral medulla are not considered as lacunar infarcts). Patients
with multiple simultaneous acute lacunar infarcts on diffusion weighted imaging
may be included. In case of embolic large artery occlusions clearly documented on
angiography who undergo successful recanalization, visualization of infarct on
neuroimaging is not mandated, and

2. Absence of cervical carotid atherosclerotic stenosis (or vertebral and basilar
atherosclerotic stenosis in case of posterior circulation stroke), that is >50%,
or occlusion in arteries supplying the area of ischemia, (unless deemed embolic)
in CT or magnetic resonance (MR) angiography or conventional angiography or
ultrasound, and

3. No history of atrial fibrillation (AF), no documented AF on 12-lead
electrocardiogram or episode of AF lasting 6 minutes or longer detected after =
24-hour cardiac rhythm monitoring (Holter or telemetry; at least 20 hours
acceptable), and

4. No intra-cardiac thrombus on either transesophageal or transthoracic
echocardiography, and

5. No other specific cause of stroke identified by routine clinical care (e.g.,
arteritis, dissection, migraine/vasospasm, drug abuse)

2. Age = 21 to = 50 years

3. Written informed consent with local regulations governing research in human subjects
Minimum age
21 Years
Maximum age
50 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Close affiliation with the investigational site; e.g. a close relative of the
investigator, dependent person (e.g., employee or student of the investigational site)

2. Enrollment in an investigational study on ESUS

3. If imaging of intracranial arteries are performed by CT or MR angiography, digital
subtraction angiography or transcranial Doppler: >50% luminal stenosis or occlusion in
arteries supplying the area of ischemia (unless deemed embolic)

Summary
Brief summary
This study seeks to determine the clinical characteristics of young ESUS patients using
diagnostic criteria of the Cryptogenic Stroke / ESUS International Working Group, and to
determine the rates of stroke recurrence, death, and hospital readmission in a contemporary
cohort of young ESUS patients during follow-up of up to 18 months.
