Neurology care and the long-term outcomes of atrial fibrillation-related ischaemic stroke in China: median 3-year outcome from a high volume academic tertiary hospital
Conclusions Secondary stroke prevention in AF patients associated with neurology care is challenging in China, as manifested by a lower AF detection rate, significant underuse of OACs, high mortality and recurrent stroke rate. Efforts to increasing the AF detection rate and reinforce education on neurologists should be made to improve neurology care and intensify posthospital management in such patients.

Pharmacogenetics of warfarin dosing in Chinese adults with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
ConclusionGenotype-guided warfarin administration increases the average TTR, reaches higher TTR levels in the early anticoagulant phase, and significantly reduces the risk of ischemic stroke events.

3-Year outcomes after left atrial appendage closure in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: cardiomyopathy related with increased death and stroke rate
Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a novel treatment for stroke prevention in high-risk patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). However, the long-term outcomes after LAAC in Chinese NVAF pa...

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Frailty in Stroke Patients: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review
ConclusionsFrailty was more prevalent in stroke patients. Female gender, advanced age, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, and National Institutes of Stroke Scale (NIHSS) admission scores were identified as risk factors for frailty in stroke patients. In the future, medical staff should pay attention to the early screening of frailty in high-risk groups and provide information on its prevention.

Efficacy of mobile health-technology  integrated care based on the ‘Atrial fibrillation Better Care’ (ABC) pathway in relation to sex: a report from the mAFA-II randomized clinical trial
Abstract The Mobile Health Technology for Improved Screening and Optimized Integrated Care in AF (mAFA-II) cluster-randomized trial showed that a mobile health (mHealth)-implemented ‘Atrial fibrillation Better Care’ (ABC) pathway approach reduced the risk of adverse events in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Whether this benefit can be applied to both males and females is unclear, especially given the suboptimal management and poorer cardiovascular outcomes in females wit h AF. In this post-hoc analysis, we performed a sex-stratified analysis of the mAFA-II trial. Between June 2018 and August 2019, adult AF patient...

P ‐wave durations from automated electrocardiogram analysis to predict atrial fibrillation and mortality in heart failure
ConclusionsExtreme values of maximum P-wave durations ( ≤90 ms and ≥141 ms) were significant predictors of new-onset AF, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality.

Distribution of risk factors differs from coronary heart disease and stroke in China: a national population survey
Conclusions The distribution of risk factors for CHD and stroke were substantial differences. More specific prevention and control measures should be formulated according to the distribution differences of risk factors related to CVD.

Risk factors for stroke in a population of central China: A cross-sectional study
This study sought to investigate and analyze the distribution of stroke population and the main risk factors for stroke occurrence in a Chinese population, and to predict the probability of stroke occurrence in high-risk groups with risk factors, so as to provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive prevention and treatment of stroke. A whole-group sampling method was used to investigate 1009 participants in Jingzhou city in central China, and a uniform questionnaire survey and related medical examinations were conducted. The risk factors for stroke in the area were analyzed by univariate analysis, and a multifactorial...

CHA2DS2-VASc score as a prognostic indicator in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing coronary stenting
This study aimed to assess the accuracy of CHA2DS2-VASc score for predicting and grading adverse clinical outcomes in this population.METHODS: We reviewed the clinical data of all patients with previously documented nonvalvular AF who underwent coronary stenting between January 2010 and June 2015 in 12 hospitals of Beijing, China. The study population was divided into three groups: 1) Low CHA2DS2-VASc score, ≦ 2 points, 2) Intermediate score, 3-4 points, and 3) High score, ≧ 5 points. Major adverse cardiac/cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were defined as a composite of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, rep...
