Long-term Detection of Atrial Fibrillation with Insertable Cardiac Monitors in a Real-world Cryptogenic Stroke Population
The long-term incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients has been explored in carefully controlled clinical trials but real-world data are limited. We investigated the two-year incidence of AF in real-world clinical practice among a large cohort of patients with an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) placed for AF detection following CS.

Advanced interatrial block predicts new-onset atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke in patients with heart failure: The “Bayes' Syndrome-HF” study
We examined the prevalence of IAB and whether advanced IAB could predict new-ons et AF and/or stroke in HF patients.

Association of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation with mortality and stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Maintenance of sinus rhythm has been associated with lower mortality, but whether atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation per se benefits hard outcomes such as mortality and stroke is still debated.

Secondary stroke prevention and guideline adherent antithrombotic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation: Insights from the Gulf Survey of atrial fibrillation events (Gulf SAFE)
Anticoagulation therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is well established as effective thromboprophylaxis. However, AF patients with prior stroke are often treated with suboptimal antithrombotic treatment (ATT). In the present study, we investigated clinical characteristics and outcomes in AF patients with versus without prior stoke, in relation to guideline adherence in ATT.

Incremental prognostic value of renal function for stroke prediction in atrial fibrillation
Renal function has been associated with an increased stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, whether renal function incrementally adds to risk prediction in both anticoagulated and non-anticoagulated patients with AF is unclear.

Does renal function have incremental predictive value of stroke in atrial fibrillation?
It is well known that both atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are respectively independent predictors of stroke and systemic thromboembolism. A number of epidemiological and observational studies have shown that there are close relationships between AF and CKD [1 –3]. Indeed, the prevalence of AF increases from non-CKD to CKD stages of 1 to 2, 3 and 4 to 5 by 1.0%, 2.8%, 2.7%, and 4.2%, respectively [1], and the prevalence is 7% to 27% in patients with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing hemodialysis therapy [2].

Effectiveness of CHA2DS2-VASc based decision support on stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: A cluster randomised trial in general practice
Guidelines on atrial fibrillation (AF) recommend the CHA2DS2-VASc rule for anticoagulant decision-making, but underuse exists. We studied the impact of an automated decision support on stroke prevention in patients with AF in a cluster randomised trial in general practice.

Impact of dronedarone on the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in atrial fibrillation patients followed in general practices in Germany
The goal of this study was to analyze the impact of dronedarone on the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients followed in general practices in Germany.

Secondary stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: Still lacking pace?
The high risk of recurrent stroke due to atrial fibrillation (AF) and the ominous outcome thereafter render secondary prevention with oral anticoagulation (OA) critical [1].

Stroke risk assessment in atrial fibrillation: Beyond atrial rhythm
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, and is responsible for at least 20% of all strokes. Moreover, strokes associated to AF are largely avoidable, as the use of anti-vitamin K drugs can prevent>65% of all strokes, and direct oral anticoagulants con reduce the rate of stroke by a further 19% [1].

Circulating interleukins in relation to coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke and its subtypes: A two sample Mendelian randomization
The causal role of interleukins (ILs) for cardiovascular disease has not been fully elucidated. We conducted a Mendelian randomization study to investigate the associations of circulating ILs with coronary artery disease (CAD), atrial fibrillation (AF), and ischemic stroke.

Revascularisation therapies improve the outcomes of ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) carry a poor prognosis in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). The impact of revascularisation therapies on outcomes in these patients is not fully understood.

Real-world experience with implantable loop recorder monitoring to detect subclinical atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic stroke: The value of p wave dispersion in predicting arrhythmia occurrence
We hypothesized patients implanted with ILRs for cryptogenic stroke in “real life” clinical practice will show an AF detection rate comparable to prior clinical studies, and that clinical or imaging features may help to identify those at higher risk of AF detection.
