AB  - Stroke  affects  more  than  700,000  Americans  each  year,  with  approximately  85%  of  these  being  ischemic  in  nature.1  A  substantial  portion  of  these  individuals  suffered  a  prior  stroke  or  TIA  (200,000),  thus  creating  the  opportunity  for  secondary  prevention  and  risk  factor  modification.  Among  ischemic  strokes,  15%  to  33%  are  thought  to  be  embolic  in  origin  with  the  highest  rates  of  embolization  seen  among  younger  individuals  (<45  years  old).2  Embolic  strokes  are  characteristically  associated  with  increased  rates  of  disability  and  mortality  compared  to  other  stroke  mechanisms.3
