Adequate Adherence to Direct Oral Anticoagulant is Associated with Reduced Ischemic Stroke Severity in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
The impact of adherence to direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is unknown. We aimed to assess the effects of preceding anticoagulation treatment on neurologic severity at admission and functional outcomes at discharge in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who developed acute ischemic stroke.

Reduced Doses of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
Background: The choice of standard or reduced doses of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) depends on patients ’ age, body weight, and renal function based on package instructions. Our aim was to conduct a simulation of DOAC dose using patients’ data obtained on admission. Methods: This retrospective study included 314 ischemic stroke patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation admitted to our hospital between September 2014 and February 2018. Data on age, body weight, creatinine, and creatinine clearance were collected for each subject, and simulation was conducted for the dose of each DOAC.

Electronic Decision support for Improvement of Contemporary Therapy for Stroke Prevention
Despite ample clinical trial data demonstrating that oral anticoagulation (OAC) treatment is highly effective in reducing stroke for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), OAC treatment remains underutilized in current clinical practice. Targeting hospitalist and emergency department providers with electronic decision support represents a potential quality improvement opportunity in the use of OAC medication in AF patients.

Treatment Approaches to Lacunar Stroke
Lacunar strokes are appropriately named for their ability to cavitate and form ponds or “little lakes” (Latin: lacune -ae meaning pond or pit is a diminutive form of lacus meaning lake). They account for a substantial proportion of both symptomatic and asymptomatic ischemic strokes. In recent years, there have been several advances in the management of large vessel occlusions. New therapies such as non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants and left atrial appendage closure have recently been developed to improve stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation; however, the treatment of small vessel disease-related strokes ...

Association between Bilateral Infarcts Pattern and Detection of Occult Atrial Fibrillation in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) Patients with Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM)
Increasingly, insertable cardiac monitors (ICM) have been used to detect Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in patients with cryptogenic stroke or embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS). We aim to examine the characteristics of these patients who were subsequently found to have AF.

Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Cerebral Microbleeds in Egyptian Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation
Few studies addressed the prevalence of cerebral microbleeds (CMB) and associated risk factor profile in Egyptian ischemic cerebral stroke patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Is epicardial fat thickness associated with acute ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common etiology of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). In recent years, epicardial fat tissue (EFT) has been found to be associated with the presence and chronicity of AF. However, the potential association between EFT and AIS in AF patients has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of EFT on prediction of AIS in patients with AF.

Predictors of atrial fibrillation detection and features of recurrent strokes in patients after cryptogenic stroke
Use of implantable cardiac monitors (ICMs) has increased diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) in cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients. Identifying AF predictors may enhance the yield of AF detection. Recurrent strokes after CS are not well described. We aimed to assess the predictors for AF detection and the characteristics of recurrent strokes in patients after CS.

Detection of Myocardial Infarction by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Embolic Stroke Related to First Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation
Elevated troponin levels are found in a significant number of patients who are diagnosed with acute embolic stroke (AES) after first diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF). These myocardial injuries, which are known as cardiocerebral infarction (CCI), are potentially caused by coronary embolism and correspond to simultaneous cardiac and cerebral embolisms. However, this severe condition remains poorly understood. In this prospective study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and the cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) characteristics of CCI.

A Comprehensive Model to Predict Atrial Fibrillation in Cryptogenic Stroke: The Decryptoring Score
Cryptogenic stroke (CS) represents up to 30% of ischemic strokes (IS). Since atrial fibrillation (AF) can be detected in up to 30% of CS, there is a clinical need for estimating the probability of underlying AF in CS to guide the optimal secondary prevention strategy. The aim of the study was to develop the first comprehensive predictive score including clinical conditions, biomarkers, and left atrial strain (LAS), to predict AF detection in this setting.
