High Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation in a Lithuanian Stroke Patient Cohort
Conclusions: In our single-center prospective observational study in Lithuania, we found that 40.8% of AIS patients had a concomitant AF, were at a higher risk for an LVO, and had a significantly poorer self-perceived HRQoL at 90 days. Despite the high AF prevalence, diagnostic tools for subclinical AF were greatly underutilized.PMID:35744063 | PMC:PMC9230037 | DOI:10.3390/medicina58060800

Functional outcome prediction of ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation accepting post-acute care training
ConclusionIn the current study, nearly half of the enrolled patients showed favorable functional recovery. The outcome assessments seem to correlate well with NIHSS and Barthel Index scores, rather than mRS. The anxiety/depression and usual activities domains of the EQ-5D results are associated with and have a great impact after the patients undertake the PAC rehabilitative strategy. Moreover, the variables obtained through carotid duplex and plaque index might also play a significant role in determining the patient's functional outcome.

Association between thrombus composition and stroke etiology in the MR CLEAN Registry biobank
ConclusionThrombus composition is significantly associated with stroke etiology, with an increase in RBC and a decrease in F/P raising the odds for a non-cardioembolic cause. No difference between composition of cardioembolic thrombi and of undetermined origin was seen. This emphasizes the need for more extensive monitoring for arrhythmias and/or extended cardiac analysis in case of an undetermined origin.

Antivitamin k drugs in stroke prevention.
Abstract Among the different subtypes of ischaemic strokes, almost 20 % are of cardiac origin. Different are the causes of cardioembolic stroke, but the most common is the atrial fibrillation, a supraventricular arrhythmia. Appropriate use of antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants after transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or ischaemic stroke depends on whether the underlying cause is cardioembolic or of presumed arterial origin. Adequate antiplatelet therapy is recommended for secondary prevention after cerebral ischaemia of presumed arterial origin, whether for patients with TIA and ischaemic stroke of cardiac origin...

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation occurs often in cryptogenic ischaemic stroke. Final results from the SURPRISE study
ConclusionsOne in five patients with CS had PAF, which occurred at low burden and long after stroke. Future studies should determine the role of implantable cardiac monitors after stroke and determine the potential therapeutic benefit of OAC treatment of patients with PAF.

Prevalence of stroke and the need for thromboprophylaxis in young patients with atrial fibrillation: a cohort study
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and age is a well-established independent risk factor for stroke in these patients. Whereas high-risk patients clearly benefit from anticoagulation to prevent stroke, less is known about how to treat low-risk patients. Despite the recent guidelines and studies demonstrating no benefit and excess bleeding risk with aspirin, many low-risk patients still receive this medication. Our objective was to determine the stroke rate in young patients with atrial fibrillation, a group of previously unstudied and predominantly low-risk patients. We hypothesized that the event r...

Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry Identifies Occult Atrial Fibrillation After Cryptogenic Stroke (S12.004)
CONCLUSIONS:Atrial fibrillation is detected on MCOT in a substantial minority of cryptogenic stroke patients. Age蠅60 and the presence of prior cortical or cerebellar strokes should raise suspicion for occult AF. These data may aid in the selection of patients for prolonged arrhythmia monitoring.Disclosure: Dr. Ingala has nothing to disclose. Dr. Jara has nothing to disclose.

Atrial fibrillation: Stroke prevention in focus
Conclusion: AF is a common and burdensome condition where treatment is complex and not without, risk. Nurses will encounter individuals with AF across a variety of primary and acute care areas, understanding the risk of AF and appropriate therapies is important across all care settings. Treatment, must be individually tailored to the needs of the patient and balanced with the best available evidence.

Current management of antithrombotic treatment in patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation and prior history of stroke or transient ischemic attack.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent arrhythmia seen in clinical practice and is one of the most important risk factors for suffering a stroke. Strokes associated to atrial fibrillation are more severe, present higher mortality and disability rates, and there is a greater risk of recurrence. Consequently, both primary and secondary prevention of stroke associated to atrial fibrillation by means of suitable antithrombotic treatment is clearly essential in order to lower this risk. Chronic oral anticoagulants are the cornerstone of antithrombotic treatment in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillati...
