In most studies ~25% of ischemic stroke are classified as #cryptogenic
In 2014 the Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source clinical construct was introduced, as a subset from cryptogenics
Criteria & diagnostic assessment were proposed

Although a long list of causes was described, covert AF was conceived as perhaps the most important underlying mechanism
It was hypothesized that oral #anticoagulation may⏬ the risk of stroke recurence in #ESUS

A systematic review in 2017 (from several authors of the pivotal paper) showed:
👉Frequency: 17% (9-25%) of IS
👉Mean age: 65
👉Recurrence: 4.5% per year
👉Younger, lower freq of vascular RFs and milder stroke vs non-ESUS IS
