Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Stroke occurs much less commonly in young adults aged 18 to 50 years than in older populations.1,2 The incidence of specific etiologies of stroke also differs across age groups, with some requiring medical management such as anticoagulation and others requiring surgical solution.1 Echocardiographic evaluation of ischemic stroke in a young adult is often focused on identifying sources of cardioembolism such as patent foramen ovale (PFO).
