Atrial fibrillation in immigrant groups: a cohort study of all adults 45  years of age and older in Sweden
In conclusion, we observed substantial differences in incidence of AF between immigrant groups and the Swedish-born population. A greater awareness of the increased risk of AF development in some immigrant groups may enable for a timely diagnos is, treatment and prevention of its debilitating complications, such as stroke.

Revised certification criteria for regional and national stroke units in Germany.
Abstract The revised criteria for regional and national German stroke units (SU) defined by the SU commission of the German Stroke Society come into effect on 1 July 2015. Due to the already high level of quality, various aspects only needed minor adjustments and definitions; therefore, the majority of minimum structural standards were carried forward. For medical personnel thresholds for when staff further recruitment is necessary were defined for the first time. The current evidence for endovascular thrombectomy (ET) resulted in enhanced standards for acute brain vessel imaging, network formation and timely tran...

Renal function, attributes and coagulation treatment in atrial fibrillation (R‐FACT Study): Retrospective, observational, longitudinal cohort study of renal function and antithrombotic treatment patterns in atrial fibrillation patients with documented eGFR in real‐world clinical practices in Germany
ConclusionsModerate‐to‐severe renal dysfunction is prevalent (~38%) in German AF patients with documented eGFR managed in actual clinical practices. The risk of stroke, as measured by the CHADS2 score, was associated with decreased renal function. Treatment with anticoagulation therapies decreased with decreasing renal function, despite increasing risk of stroke. Anticoagulation treatments remain suboptimal during the 12‐month follow up in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment.
