Abstract
Our study demonstrated gender-specific differences in ischemic stroke. Incidence of ischemic stroke was higher in males than in females increasing exponentially with growing age in both genders. Females had a higher case-fatality rate presumably due to higher rate of AF. Promoting factors of atrial thrombi differ especially regarding atrial volumes and blood flow velocity in the LAA.
