Patients suffering atrial fibrillation (AF), valvular heart disease (VHD), dilated cardiomyopathy more prone develop cardioembolic stroke. Those diabetes mellitus (DM), carotid artery stenosis dyslipidemia (DLP) had higher prevalence macroangiopathic Ischemic (IHD), AF, VHD associated brain territory supplied by middle cerebral (MCA) while DM correspondent posterior (PCA) Conclusion: weight each factor on different territories ischemia can assist care providers for efficient prevention results also be basis further investigations corroborate pathophysiology such relations.
