Atrial fibrillation and stroke.
This article describes the risk for ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, and discusses who should receive prophylactic treatment and which therapy provides the best prevention.METHOD The article is based on recently published European, American and Canadian guidelines, a search in PubMed and the authors' own clinical experience.RESULTS The new risk score CHA2DS2-VASc is better than the CHADS2 score for identifying patients with atrial fibrillation who have a truly low risk of ischemic stroke and are not in need of antithrombotic treatment. Oral anticoagulation therapy is recommended for patients with two o...

Hjerneslag i Norge 2015–16 – behandling og resultater. Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen. 2020 Feb 04;140(2): Authors: Varmdal T, Indredavik B, Phan A, Fjærtoft H Abstract BACKGROUND: Treatment of stroke in Norway is decentralised; patients with stroke are treated at 50 different hospitals. We have surveyed the treatment of stroke in these hospitals and collated this with data from the Norwegian Stroke Registry. We wished to investigate whether there was any variation in treatment interventions and treatment outcomes between university hospitals and local hospitals. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A questionnaire...

Warfarin therapy for atrial fibrillation in general practice - is bleeding risk underestimated?
Abstract BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation causes a five-fold increase in the risk of thromboembolic stroke. Warfarin therapy reduces the risk by 64 %, but increases the risk of serious bleeding. We aimed to investigate the quality of warfarin therapy in a general practice and determine which patients would be likely to benefit from the treatment.MATERIAL AND METHOD We carried out retrospective registration of patients with atrial fibrillation, and calculated the risk of thromboembolism (CHA2DS2-VASc score) and of bleeding (HAS-BLED score) for each patient. Two alternative methods were used for calculating the absol...

Mekanisk trombektomi ved akutt hjerneinfarkt
Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen. 2022 May 2;142(7). doi: 10.4045/tidsskr.21.0577. Print 2022 May 3.ABSTRACTMechanical thrombectomy is now the standard treatment for acute ischaemic stroke with occlusion of a carotid or intercranial artery. With occlusions of this type, thrombolytic treatment often has limited effect. The therapeutic outcome with the use of thrombectomy is time-dependent, and a personalised approach to indication is always necessary. To achieve the best possible results, the main prerequisites are good clinical procedures, an optimal patient pathway, high neuroradiological competence and coordinated, interdisciplina...
