The prospective registry shall provide new insights into the multiple associations, and respective therapeutic implications of cardio-vascular risk factors and stroke. For that reason consecutive patients with ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (brain, spinal cord, or retinal) and structural (e.g. patent foramen ovale), septic or aseptic endocarditis or myocarditis, or supra-ventricular or ventricular arrhythmia, who are admitted to our University Hospital, are enrolled. Multifactorial assessment of risk factors is based on medical history, laboratory biomarkers, electrocardiogram incl. cardiac autonomic function analysis, and (long-term) cardiac rhythm monitoring, as well as transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. Inclusion of follow-up visits permit longitudinal and prognostic evaluation of routine diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for secondary stroke prevention (e.g. implantable loop recorders or interventional closure of patent foramen ovale).
