Impact of Atrial Fibrillation and Inadequate Antithrombotic Management on Mortality in Acute Neurovascular Syndrome
Conclusions: Patients with AF have more severe stroke and higher mortality than stroke patients without AF. Adherence to the antithrombotic treatment guidelines for the prevention of AF-related cardioembolic strokes is suboptimal. Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact of current antithrombotic treatment guidelines on mortality.
