Worse Outcome in Patients with Acute Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation Following Thrombolysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests worse outcome in thrombolized patients with AF compared to non-AF stroke patients. Therefore, AF itself can be a poor prognostic factor for tPA sensitivity regarding the chance of revascularization and recovery after intravenous tPA. PMID: 28513116 [PubMed - in process]
