The authors do understand that it is often difficult to differentiate cardioembolic stroke from other subtypes, specifically large vessel thromboembolic stroke, either clinically or with imaging.

The researchers also looked at the risk of specific types of ischemic stroke: thrombotic strokes, caused by a blood clot in large arteries in the brain; cardioembolic strokes, caused by a clot ...
