Epidemiology and Etiology of Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults Aged 18 to 44 Years in Northern Sweden

Abstract: The incidence rate for ischemic stroke was higher than previously reported from most countries in Western Europe. The higher incidence was not explained by a higher prevalence of premature atherosclerotic vasculopathy. Without the additional diagnostic information derived from advanced cardiac imaging, the proportion of indeterminate cases would have constituted 37% of the patients.

“…26 Findings from the group of patients with ischemic stroke further support this hypothesis. The fact that only a small proportion of stroke victims have a presumed atherosclerotic infarct in our series, as in others, 27 prompts us to speculate that the process linking the IL-1␤ Ϫ511TT genotype to stroke is probably not related to atherosclerosis.…”

“…Cardioembolization and non-atherosclerotic vasculopathies are relatively important cause of ischemic stoke as compared to atherosclerotic vasculopathy and small artery occlusion. 8 It is important to find out the aetiologic factors and treatment of them adequately for preventing the recurrence. Stroke in young may influence the outcome & may have a dramatic impact on the quality of life in survivors.…”
