Early rhythm control and the risks of ischaemic stroke, heart failure, mortality and adverse events when performed early ( & lt;3 months)
CONCLUSIONS: Early rhythm control, especially when performed earlier (<3months), was associated with a lower risk of adverse events than usual care among patients with early AF.PMID:35322396 | DOI:10.1055/a-1807-0336

Risk of Incident Epilepsy After a Middle Cerebral Artery Territory Infarction
ConclusionsThis study established the conditions leading to a higher risk of PSE and identified the important clinical risk factors in patients experiencing MCA infarct. Efforts to manage these risk factors may be important in preventing PSE in patients with MCA infarct.

New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation Is a Risk Factor of Ischemic Stroke in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
In conclusion, COPD patients suffering from new-onset AF had an increased incidence of IS in the population observation study. New-onset AF was an omit risk factor for IS in COPD in the Chinese population.PMID:35206997 | DOI:10.3390/healthcare10020381

Effectiveness of Standard-Dose vs. Low-Dose Alteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke Within 3 –4.5 h
ConclusionIn the 34.5-h time window, the effectiveness and safety of standard-dose and low-dose alteplase may be comparable. A standard dose may be selected for patients with cardioembolism, atrial fibrillation, or hypercholesterolemia.

Continuation or discontinuation of oral anticoagulants after HAS-BLED scores increase in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsFor patients whose HAS-BLED scores increased to ≥ 3, the continuation of OACs was associated with better clinical outcomes. An increased HAS-BLED score in anticoagulated AF patients may not be the only reason to withhold OACs, but reminds physicians to correct modifiable bleeding risk factors and follow up patients more closely.Graphical abstractAssociations between Continuation or Discontinuation of Oral Anticoagulants and Risks of Clinical Outcomes after HAS-BLED Scores IncreasedAF atrial fibrillation;aHR adjusted hazard ratio;ICH intra-cranial hemorrhage;OACs oral anticoagulants

The risk and timing of acute ischemic stroke after electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation in Taiwan: A nationwide population-based cohort study
There is a positive association between electrical cardioversion (ECV) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Although 4 weeks of anticoagulation therapy after ECV in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients is generally suggested by current guidelines to reduce the risk of AIS, limited studies have been conducted in Asian populations to determine the risk and timing of AIS after ECV for AF in recent years. Therefore, we aim to use the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan to determine the risk and timing of AIS after ECV for AF.

Management of carotid artery stenosis
Acta Neurol Taiwan. 2021 Dec 15;30(4):123-127.ABSTRACTThe incidence of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke is more common in Asians compared to Caucasian (1). It is found there is a decreased incidence of ischemic stroke in Northern America but increased incidence in Africa, Mongolia and southeast Asia. In the epidemiological study of carotid artery stenosis (CAS), Framingham study showed the prevalence of significant extracranial CAS was 7% in women and 9% in men (2). Among all strokes in Caucasian population, 20 to 30% were due to extracranial CAS and 5 to 10% due to intracranial atherosclerosis (3, 4). Northern Manhatt...
