Characteristics of patients diagnosed for cardiological cause of ischemic neurological events and pre-screened with a transcranial doppler examination.
Screening for patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with ischemic neurological events is becoming more common. ⋯ In patients with ischemic neurological events who were prescreened for PFO, confirmation of PFO on TEE was associated with a higher prevalence of TIA, migraine, syncope, Chiari network, and ASA. Advanced age, typical cardiovascular risk factors, and ASA were associated with stroke history in the study population.

Heterogeneous and overlapping mechanisms of ischemia and non-obstructive coronary arteries: in-hospital results of the MOSAIC-COR registry.
Ischemia and nonobstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) remains a significant clinical issue. Recent guidelines underscore the importance of comprehensive coronary physiology assessment to make specific diagnoses and implement tailored treatment strategies. ⋯ The patients diagnosed with INOCA in the MOSAIC‑COR registry exhibit significant symptomatology and a high prevalence of typical cardiovascular risk factors. Myocardial ischemia in this population may be generated by various pathomechanisms that may overlap.
