Abstract
Ischemic stroke occurs as a result of an extremely heterogeneous group of vascular pathological events (Table 1). Because treatment is often aimed at attenuating a specific vascular disorder, identifying the underlying cause is critical for optimal stroke prevention. As an example, secondary stroke prevention for a young patient with endocarditis will differ substantially from that for an elderly patient with atrial fibrillation, although both conditions cause cardioembolic stroke.
