Group comparison of morphological lesion shape measures for patients with embolic strokes of either cardiac or non-cardiac origin.

<p>Cardioembolic stroke was defined in patients classified by ASCOD as cardioembolism (C1 and C2; n = 37), a non-cardioembolic origin (n = 54) defined for strokes caused by atherothrombosis (A1, A2), arterial dissection (D1) and other known causes (O1); Multiple arterial pattern is defended as lesions located in at least two of the main arterial territories of the brain (left or right internal carotid artery or posterior circulation territory).
