AssesSment of the left atrial appendage morphoLogy in patients aAfter ischaeMic Stroke - the ASSAM study protocol.
Abstract Stroke remains the most dangerous and frightening complication of atrial fibrillation (AF). A causal relationship between ischaemic stroke and atrial arrhythmias such as AF or atrial flutter has been well established. Numerous factors predisposing to peripheral embolism in patients with AF have been well established and included in the CHA₂DS₂-VASc score. Although proper anticoagulation minimises the risk attributable to "known" risk factors, stroke may still occur. Thus, "unknown" risk factors may play an important role in stroke risk stratification in patients with AF. We assume that one of the impo...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Pulmonary Embolism: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Conclusion: Frequency of recent ischemic stroke in patients with symptomatic PE was higher in patients with PFO than in those without PFO. This finding supports the hypothesis that paradoxical embolism is an important mechanism of ischemic stroke in patients with PFO. Primary Funding Source: French Ministry of Health.

Atrial high-rate episodes: prevalence, stroke risk, implications for management, and clinical gaps in evidence
AbstractSelf-terminating atrial arrhythmias are commonly detected on continuous rhythm monitoring, e.g. by pacemakers or defibrillators. It is unclear whether the presence of these arrhythmias has therapeutic consequences. We sought to summarize evidence on the prevalence of atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs) and their impact on risk of stroke. We performed a comprehensive, tabulated review of published literature on the prevalence of AHRE. In patients with AHRE, but without atrial fibrillation (AF), we reviewed the stroke risk and the potential risk/benefit of oral anticoagulation. Atrial high-rate episodes are found in 10...

Should We Judge Stroke Risk by Static or Dynamic Risk Scores? A Focus on the Dynamic Nature of Stroke and Bleeding Risks in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia and a major risk factor for stroke. The number of patients with AF is predicted to increase in the next few decades. AF has also negative impact on quality of life as well as it significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and overall mortality. Because the stroke is a pivotal outcome of AF, its prevention with the use of anticoagulation therapy constitutes an important component of AF management. The decision on oral anticoagulants' prescription should be based on appropriate risk stratification to allow for comprehensive assessmen...

Biomarkers and Risk Prediction Tools for Stroke and Dementia in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
AbstractPurpose of ReviewWith the aging population, atrial fibrillation (AF) associations with both stroke and dementia have become a priority for the healthcare system. The purpose of this paper is to review the emerging role of clinical scores and biomarkers in the risk stratification of AF patients for risk of stroke and risk of dementia.Recent FindingsAF is the most common arrhythmia in the aging population and a common comorbidity in atherosclerotic disease and heart failure. In this review, we identified 34 most relevant papers that specifically address the role of biomarkers in risk-stratifying patients with AF with...

Atrial fibrillation risk factors in patients with ischemic stroke.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates a need for thorough and systematic monitoring of post-ischemic stroke patients in whom AF has not been detected and who display other important risk factors. Regardless of the stroke, these factors may be responsible for development of AF. PMID: 33488851 [PubMed]

Risk and population attributable fraction of stroke subtypes in Japan
CONCLUSION: Although there are differences according to the subtypes, hypertension could be regarded as the most crucial target for preventing strokes in Japan.PMID:37460296 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20220364
