"Many young adults think they are 'too young for a stroke'. That is a dangerous misconception. Delaying treatment can have serious consequences”

@DrBenjaminTan talks to @asiaonecom about young ischemic stroke! 🧠

In 346 patients with resolved LV thrombus, 12% had recurrence over 4.4 years. Cancer history, initial LVT size, and protrusion predicted recurrence, which was linked to higher risks of MI, stroke, HF, and death. Article at: https://t.co/lmaVX7rHDR

An inspiring #ESCCongress2025 in Madrid. Grateful to reconnect, learn, and contribute. Proud of our 14 presentations spanning AF, HF, imaging & brain-heart links. Until next time, @escardio! @NUHCS @NUSMedicine @StroCarCollab

Meta-analysis (50 studies, 44k pts): After acute ischemic stroke, WMHs ↑ risk of recurrent stroke (HR 1.72) + death (HR 1.58); CMBs ↑ recurrent stroke (HR 1.88) + CV death (HR 1.45). Risk rises with lesion burden & distribution. Article available at: https://t.co/3GHkaSBx6h
