The ARTICO study: identification of patients at high risk of vascular recurrence after a first non-cardioembolic stroke.

BMC Neurol. 2015;15:28, PMID: 25884666

About 20% of patients with a first ischaemic stroke will experience a new vascular event within the first year. The atherosclerotic burden, an indicator of the extension of atherosclerosis in a patient, has been associated with the risk of new cardiovascular events in the general population. However, no predictive models reliably identify groups at a high risk of recurrence. The ARTICO study prospectively analysed the predictive value for the risk of recurrence of specific atherosclerotic markers.
