Abstract
According to epidemiological data, stroke’s incidence is clearly growing, especially in young people under 45. Ischemic stroke is the most common type (80%). Many risk factors have been identified, including hypertension, tobacco, dyslipidemia, diabetes, alcohol, and oestroprogestogenic contraceptive pill. The main mechanisms are atheroma of large arterial trunks, occlusion of small cerebral arteries unrelated to atherosclerosis, and cardio-embolic causes. The aim of our study is to present a clinical case of ischemic stroke in young subjects caused by heart disease at high embolic risk.
