The risk and timing of acute ischemic stroke after electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation in Taiwan: A nationwide population-based cohort study
There is a positive association between electrical cardioversion (ECV) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Although 4  weeks of anticoagulation therapy after ECV in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients is generally suggested by current guidelines to reduce the risk of AIS, limited studies have been conducted in Asian populations to determine the risk and timing of AIS after ECV for AF in recent years. Therefore, we aim to use the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan to determine the risk and timing of AIS after ECV for AF.
