Factors Associated with Proximal Carotid Axis Occlusion in Patients with Acute Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions: Female sex, advanced age, history of systemic embolism, and higher BNP level were independently associated with more proximal carotid axis occlusion. Patients with AF having these factors may be prone to have relatively large thrombi in the heart.

CHADS2- and CHA2DS2VASc Scores and Embolic Risk in Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation/Noncompaction
Background: Left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT) is associated with stroke or embolism (S/E). The aim of this study was to assess if the Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age>75 years, Diabetes, and Stroke (CHADS2) and CHA2DS2VASc scores are different between LVHT-patients with and without stroke/embolism.Methods: Records of LVHT patients were retrospectively screened. For stroke classification, the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria were applied, for peripheral embolism angiographic findings. Baseline data were compared between patients with and without S/E.Results: In ...

Ischemic stroke associated with left cardiac catheterization: The importance of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors
Background: Stroke associated with left cardiac catheterization is a devastating complication, and its incidence has not changed over the decades.We investigated the incidence, in-hospital outcomes and the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for periprocedural ischemic stroke.Methods: Our retrospective cohort study included all patients experiencing periprocedural ischemic stroke among the 24,500 patients who underwent left cardiac catheterization between January 2003 and October 2010. The case group was compared with a group of control patients randomly selected among those who underwent the procedure during this p...

Stroke and Bleeding Risk Assessment in Atrial Fibrillation: Where Are We Now?
Korean Circ J. 2021 Jun 1. doi: 10.4070/kcj.2021.0170. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMost important international guidelines recommend the use of CHA₂DS₂-VASc and HAS-BLED scores for stroke and bleeding risk assessments in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, respectively. The 2020 AF guidelines of European Society of Cardiology have revised the definition of "C: congestive heart failure (HF)" component, and now patients with either HF with reduced ejection fraction or preserved ejection fraction should be assigned 1 point. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was also included. Besides, the revised "V: vascular diseases" compone...
