Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cardioembolic stroke (CS) and atherosclerosis (AS) are closely related diseases. Ferroptosis, a novel form of programmed cell death, may play a key role in CS and AS. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying their coexistence remain unclear. This study aims to identify the hub genes and pathways involved in developing both diseases.
