Influenza Vaccination Reduces Hemorrhagic Stroke Risk in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Population-Based Cohort Study
In this study, we investigated the association of influenza vaccination with the risk of hemorrhagic stroke to develop an efficient strategy for reducing this risk in patients with AF.

Risk of stroke in congestive heart failure with and without atrial fibrillation
This study estimated the risk of stroke and thromboembolism for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) in the context of the general population, especially compared to those with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Left Atrial Appendage Closure for Prevention of Death, Stroke, and Bleeding in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia with a prevalence of 1% - 2% in the general population. Its prevalence increases with age and its diagnosis benefits of improvement and simplification of technologies for its detection. Today, AF affects approximately 7% of individuals age>65years and 15% –20% of octogenarians. Due to stasis and activation of coagulation in a fibrillating atrium, patients are at increased risk of thromboembolism, in particular ischemic stroke, with an overall stroke risk of 5% per year.

Excessive atrial ectopic activity as an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke
Excessive atrial ectopic activity (EAEA) has been related with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke but different cutoff values have been used. We aimed to determine the association between EAEA and stroke, AF and overall death.

Could excessive atrial ectopic activity be an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke?
We read the article “Excessive atrial ectopic activity as an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke” by Marinheiro et al. [1] interestingly, which has great significance in shedding light on the relationship between excessive atrial ectopic activity (EAEA) and ischemic stroke, atrial fibrillation (AF) and over all death. EAEA has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of AF and stroke [2–3], however, the precise definition for “excessive” atrial ectopy and the cut-off value of premature atrial contractions (PACs) were ambiguous [3–4].

Prevalence of atrial fibrillation in different socioeconomic regions of China and its association with stroke: Results from a national stroke screening survey

Rhythm control better prevents stroke and mortality than rate control strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation - A nationwide cohort study
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke and mortality. However, rhythm control strategy did not reduce cardiovascular risks in short-term studies. We hypothesize that rhythm control better prevents stroke and mortality than rate control in AF patients over a long-term period.

Sex differences in stroke and major adverse clinical events in patients with atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 993,600 patients
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly diagnosed arrhythmia, which is associated with an increased risk of stroke. Several studies have suggested that female AF patients could have a greater risk for stroke and thromboembolic events (TE).

Temporal trends of the prevalence and incidence of atrial fibrillation and stroke among Asian patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A nationwide population-based study
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke are common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of AF and stroke in patients with HCM during a 10-year period.

In reply: Stroke in pulmonary hypertension: Is it predictable or preventable?
We thank Wang et al. for their comments and for bringing forward the challenges in managing care of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and stroke. We acknowledge multiple possible mechanisms of stroke in patients with PH, and we highlighted them in our work, including paradoxical emboli and atrial fibrillation [1]. However, polycythemia (increased red cells) or other myeloproliferative disorders are considered to be a cause and not a consequence of PH [2,3]. In mice models, Sala et al. have showed that chronic hypoxia could lead to both PH and polycythemia [4].

Is the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) anatomical shape really meaningless measure for stroke risk assessment?
Since atrial fibrillation (AF) associated stroke is mostly originated from thrombogenesis in the left atrial appendage (LAA), it has been thought that the anatomical morphology of LAA would be an important contributing factor in the process of thrombogenesis [1]. However, recent studies remained controversies in terms of their association between stroke risk and LAA morphology [2 –4]. There are several reasons for these controversies. First, LAA morphology is so diverse that its classification into several pre-defined types (i.e.

Atrial high-rate episode burden and stroke risks for patients with device-detected subclinical atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Atrial high-rate episode (AHRE) and stroke are related; however, the magnitude of the correlations between different AHRE burdens and stroke remains unknown. We analysed studies that evaluated this relationship.

Incidence of stroke in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in stable sinus rhythm during long-term monitoring
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are at increased risk of stroke, but the incidence and factors associated with cardioembolic events in HCM patients without atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unresolved. We determined the incidence of stroke in patients in sinus rhythm (SR) monitored with a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED).
