Atrial Tachyarrhythmias and Stroke: Temporal Relationship and Stroke Subtypes

Conclusions: CE strokes were associated with a significantly higher proportion of preceding AT/AF compared with non-CE strokes. These findings support a potential temporal relationship between AT/AF and CE stroke and demonstrate that stroke subtyping can better characterize the relationship between AF and ischemic stroke. However, this study ’s findings are limited by its sample size and small number of informative cases.Cerebrovasc Dis
