Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in young patients with ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
The recommended cardiac rhythm evaluation to determine the etiology of ischemic stroke (IS) is similar in all patients regardless of their age and includes an electrocardiogram and at least a 24-hour heart rhythm monitoring. However, it is known that the main causes of IS vary according to patients ’ age. There is a higher preponderance of arterial dissections and patent foramen ovale in younger patients, while atrial fibrillation (AF) is more common in older patients.

Pulmonary hypertension: An unexplored risk factor for stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is one of the most common and significant risk factors for stroke, with the CHADsVAsc score used as the tool for stroke risk assessment. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has not been studied as an independent risk factor for stroke in individuals with Afib.

Ability of the DANCAMI to predict the risk ischemic stroke and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation/flutter
Comparison of the danish comorbidity index for acute myocardial infarction (DANCAMI), the charlson comorbidity index (CCI), the elixhauser comorbidity index (ECI), and the CHA2DS2-VASc score to predict ischemic stroke, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality after atrial fibrillation/flutter.

An elderly case with late carotid stent thrombosis: possible role of antiphospholipid antibodies
The case study speculates that the antiphospholipid antibodies acquired during the follow-up period of carotid artery stenting may cause late stent thrombosis that is resistant to direct oral anticoagulants. A 73-year-old man was hospitalized with complaints of weakness in the right lower extremity. The patient had undergone carotid artery stenting for symptomatic stenosis of the left internal carotid artery 6 years prior and had received antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel 75  mg/day. As the patient had developed atrial fibrillation without stent stenosis at the age of 70 years, anticoagulation therapy with rivaroxaban...

Embolic stroke and atrioesophageal fistula as complications of atrial ablation
We present a case of a patient with cardioembolic cerebral infarcts and sepsis secondary to an atrioesophageal fistula, which likely developed after an atrial ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation.

Enlarged left atrium may be associated with laterality of anterior circulation cardioembolic stroke
In this study, we compared the hemispheric differences among patients with AF-stroke and identified factors associated with lesion laterality.

Immediate implantable loop recorder implantation for detecting atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is suspected as the main cause of stroke in the majority of patients presenting with cryptogenic stroke (CS). Implantable loop recorders (ILR's) are indicated for detecting AF in these patients.The short term (

Anticoagulation under-utilization in atrial fibrillation patients is responsible for a large proportion of strokes requiring endovascular therapy
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for 30-50% of large strokes requiring endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Anticoagulation (AC) underutilization is a common source of AF-related stroke. We compared antithrombotic medications among stroke patients with AF that did or did not undergo EVT to determine if AC underutilization disproportionately results in strokes requiring EVT, while quantifying the proportion of likely preventable thrombectomies.

Outcomes in patients with ischaemic stroke undergoing endovascular thrombectomy: Impact of atrial fibrillation
Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is associated with good clinical outcomes in ischaemic stroke, but the risk of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and mortality remains common following ischaemic stroke. The effect of concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) on clinical outcomes following acute ischaemic stroke in patients receiving EVT remains unclear. The aim is to investigate associations between AF and intracerebral haemorrhage and all-cause mortality at 90 days in patients with ischaemic stroke undergoing EVT.

Changing trends and factors influencing anticoagulant use in patients with acute ischemic stroke and NVAF at discharge in the NOACs era
We sought to explore the trends and influencing factors of the use of anticoagulants in patients with acute ischemic stroke and non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) at discharge in the era of novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs).

Comparison of primary and secondary stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Results from the RAFFINE registry
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a predictor of severe stroke and early death in acute ischemic stroke patients.1 The prevalence of AF has increased as the Japanese population has aged.2 AF has been more common among patients with ischemic stroke than previously reported.3 In particular, AF patients with a history of stroke or TIA have had higher risks for stroke, hemorrhagic events, and death compared to those without.4,5 In these previous studies, most patients received warfarin for anticoagulation therapy.

Excessive supraventricular ectopic activity and future onset of atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic stroke
Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is a leading preventable cause of ischemic stroke,1,2 after the initial evaluation, approximately 30% of all stroke events are finally characterised as cryptogenic.3,4 However, nowadays with the use of prolonged cardiac rhythm monitoring, studies exist to reveal the existence of silent, subclinical AF in those patients, or even the presence of excessive ectopic atrial activity that may precede it.5,6 In particular, such methods can detect and quantify premature atrial complexes (PACs) and short supraventricular runs (SVRs), which, up until recently, have been considered benign electrophysiological phenomena.
