Abstract:
The secondary prevention of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) is still mainly antiplatelet therapy, but the recurrence rate of stroke in this patient population is still very high. This article reviews the potential etiology of ESUS, its potential embolic mechanisms, and secondary prevention of ESUS.
