Plasma Dimethylarginine Levels and Carotid Intima–Media Thickness are related to Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Embolic Stroke

A relevant part of embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS) is assumed to be due to non-detected atrial fibrillation (AF). In this study, we aimed to investigate if markers of endothelial dysfunction and damage may indicate AF risk in embolic stroke. Eighty-eight patients with ischemic stroke c...
