On the assumption that the majority of lacunes are caused by small-vessel diseases and that pial artery infarcts arise from cardio-embolic or large-vessel diseases, 194 patients from the Berlin Cerebral Ischemia Data Bank with either lacunar or pial artery infarcts were analyzed for the frequency of cardiac sources of embolism. The primary hypothesis was that the frequency of cardiac sources of embolism is higher among pial artery infarct subjects.
