Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation detection in patients with acute ischemic stroke through prolonged Holter: prospective study.
CONCLUSION: In elderly patients with AIS, the use of an extended Holter recorder led to the detection of more cases of PAF, offering them the chance to initiate hypocoagulant therapy. Among this population, the STAF score was non-discriminative and did not prove useful in predicting PAF. PMID: 30054893 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Bootstrap-based Feature Selection to Balance Model Discrimination and Predictor Significance: A Study of Stroke Prediction in Atrial Fibrillation.
Authors: Li X, Sun Z, Du X, Liu H, Hu G, Xie G Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmias, which increases the risk and severity of ischemic stroke. For predicting ischemic stroke in AF patients, a risk prediction model that can achieve both good model discrimination (e.g., A UC) and statistical significance ofpredictors is required in real clinical practices. In this paper, we propose a new bootstrap-based wrapper (Boots-wrapper) method of feature selection, and apply this method on Chinese Atrial Fibrillation Registry data to develop 1-year stroke prediction models in AF. The proposed metho...

Stroke care in 1960 and now-the case of Ren é Maugras.
CONCLUSION: The entire field of acute stroke care has been revolutionized in the last 60 years. Big data management, telemedicine, software, new brain and vascular imaging techniques, biomarkers, robotics etc., are currently in development and again should lead to new and surprising changes during the next decades.

Biomarkers in the risk assessment for stroke and dementia in atrial fibrillation
Purpose of review Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common clinically encountered arrhythmias exhibiting a strong association with a spectrum of cerebral injuries from the occurrence of clinical stroke, subclinical stroke, dementia, and cognitive decline. Dynamic noninvasive specific and sensitive diagnostic tests may allow a personalized approach to the atrial fibrillation patient's treatment based upon quantitative parameters, aiming to prevent or delay stroke, dementia, progressive cognitive decline, or to assess responses to these therapies. This review will explore molecular markers that have been shown to have...

Stroke Risk Scores as Predictors of Severe Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation: A Comprehensive Review
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent sustained arrhythmia. It increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, death, hospitalizations, and costs. Area of uncertainty: Several scores were introduced to stratify the stroke risk and need for anticoagulation in patients (pts) with AF . CHA2DS2-VASc, the most frequently used score, as well as other stroke risk scores have been additionally applied to estimate outcomes for different other conditions, with inhomogeneous results. To date, there has been no consensus regarding the usefulness of these scores to estimate outcomes outside of thromboembolic...

Ischemic Stroke Subtypes: Socio-demographic Factors, Risk Factors, and Outcomes in Southern Sri Lanka
CONCLUSION: The comparative risk of different IS subtypes depends on different risk factors. The findings of this study demonstrate that sub-categories within each stroke subtype may behave independently with regard to risk factors and outcomes, thus warranting the need for individual assessment.PMID:34720554 | PMC:PMC8545479 | DOI:10.18865/ed.31.4.509

Sepsis-driven atrial fibrillation and ischaemic stroke. Is there enough evidence to recommend anticoagulation?
Eur J Intern Med. 2021 Nov 8:S0953-6205(21)00361-7. doi: 10.1016/j.ejim.2021.10.022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSepsis can lead to cardiac arrhythmias, of which the most common is atrial fibrillation (AF). Sepsis is associated with up to a six-fold higher risk of developing AF, where it occurs most commonly in the first 3 days of hospital admission. In many patients, AF detected during sepsis is the first documented episode of AF, either as an unmasking of sub-clinical AF or as a newly developed arrhythmia. In the short term, sepsis that is complicated by AF leads to longer hospital stays and an increased risk of inpati...
