Racial Differences in the Prevalence of Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation Among Hospitalized Patients
Atrial fibrillation (AF) will affect at least 12 million people in the United States by 2030. Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk for stroke and death and contributes to substantial costs and resource use.1 Considerable efforts are devoted to optimize AF management and mitigate its negative sequalae. However, the literature suggests the presence of racial disparities in the management of AF in the United States. Recent studies showed that direct oral anticoagulant, pulmonary vein isolation, and left atrial appendage closure are less commonly used among patients of non-White race.

Remaining Challenges With Transcatheter Left Atrial Appendage Closure
Left atrial appendage closure has emerged as a feasible stroke prevention strategy in selected patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Since its commercial approval in the United States in 2015, the use of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure has witnessed a substantial growth. However, certain issues remain unresolved with the technology. Knowledge of these issues, their significance, and the current and future efforts to resolve them is key for proper informed decision making by physicians and patients.

Introduction to Thematic Reviews on Neurovascular Diseases
This is an unprecedented era in the evolution of endovascular and surgical management options for the spectrum of neurovascular diseases seen in clinical practice. While stroke remains the fourth-leading cause of death, and the leading cause of disability in the United States, interventional techniques are now available that can lead to a favorable outcome in some situations in which death or disability would have undoubtedly occurred just a few years ago.1 In this issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, the first of several articles will appear as part of a Thematic Review Series on Neurovascular Diseases.

Evaluation and Management of Atherosclerotic Carotid Stenosis
Medical therapies for the prevention of stroke have advanced considerably in the past several years. There can also be a role for mechanical restoration of the lumen by endarterectomy or stenting in selected patients with high-grade atherosclerotic stenosis of the extracranial carotid artery. Endarterectomy is generally recommended for patients with high-grade symptomatic carotid stenosis. Stenting is considered an option for patients at high risk of complications with endarterectomy. Whether revascularization is better than contemporary medical therapy for asymptomatic extracranial carotid stenosis is a subject of several...
