Abstract:
The identification of the specific cause in every patient has important clinical implications, because ischemic stroke is an etiologically heterogeneous disease. The Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification can be used to define the etiology of stroke. However, TOAST classification can not be completed timely on admission of patients with acute stroke, which has impacted early guidance of clinical treatment. This article reviews the biological markers of early differential-diagnostic significance of the TOAST classification.
