Association of blood-based biomarkers with radiologic markers and cognitive decline in atrial fibrillation patients
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with an increased risk of silent brain infarcts (SBI) and cognitive impairment, even in patients with low embolic risk. We aimed to test the association between 11 blood-biomarkers representing different AF-related pathways, and SBI, white matter hyperintensities (WMH), and cognitive decline in patients with AF and low embolic risk.

Holter ECG monitoring for the evaluation of stroke in the internal medicine department
Holter ECG is an external device for cardiac monitoring, connected by electrodes to the patient. The Holter performs a continuous recording of the cardiac electrical activity, which is used to reveal an underling arrhythmia.1 Diagnosing an arrythmia among stroke patients, especially atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF), is of significant influence, indicating a hypothetic cardio-embolic source with increased risk of recurrent stroke.2 –4 Once AF is found, anticoagulant therapy, rather than antiplatelet therapy, is recommended for secondary stroke prevention.

Atrial fibrillation is associated with poor long-term outcome after mechanical thrombectomy for anterior large vessel occlusion stroke
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the leading causes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The aim of our study was to determine the influence of AF on the long-term outcome of patients with AIS due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT).

Embolic infarct topology differs between atrial fibrillation subtypes and embolic stroke of undetermined source
The lack of superiority of anticoagulation over antiplatelet therapy in embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) may be in part due to the misclassification of radiographic ESUS patterns as cardioembolic. In this imaging analysis, we sought to differentiate clinical and radiographic patterns of ESUS patients from patterns in patients with a highly probable cardioembolic source.

Peri-device leakage not CHA2DS2-VASc is associated with post-left atrial appendage closure cardiovascular event
In patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), the left atrial appendage occluder (LAAO) is an alternative treatment for stroke prevention. However, thromboembolic event still occur, and the predictors are unknown.

Underweight predicts poststroke cardiovascular events in patients without atrial fibrillation
The purpose of this study was to determine whether underweight is associated with poststroke cardiovascular events and whether such association is different according to the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Another possible determinant for ischemic stroke with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation other than conventional oral anticoagulant treatment: The relationship between whole blood viscosity and stroke ☆
Prevention of ischemic stroke complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) is the crucial target in the disease. Stroke is largely prevented by warfarin and the introduction of new oral anticoagulants. While warfarin reduces stroke by 60 –70%, new oral anticoagulants provide at least equal success to this reduction with appropriate dose and treatment compliance.1,2 Nonetheless, we still encounter thromboembolic ischemic stroke in clinical practice in AF patients taking oral anticoagulants (OAC) and once experienced, stroke can hav e devastating consequences for the patients.

Detection of hidden atrial fibrillation in primary care using a long-term band-based ECG registration system: The DESCUUBRE-FA study
To assess whether the use of a band-based electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring system improves the diagnostic accuracy of traditional diagnostic methods for the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Contemporary Practice and Optimising Referral Pathways for Implantable Cardiac Monitoring for Atrial Fibrillation after Cryptogenic Stroke
Diagnosing atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients following Cryptogenic stroke (CS) has therapeutic implications that can reduce the risk of further strokes. However, it's indolent and paroxysmal nature makes this challenging. Prolonged rhythm monitoring using implantable loop recorders (ILRs) can significantly increase the AF detection rate in the clinical trial paradigm. Whether this can be translated to real-world practice is unknown. An evaluation of referral pathways, workload and real-world efficacy may help select patients and inform service development.

Association of Atrial Fibrillation Detected after Stroke with Cardiac Dysfunction and Features of Neurogenic Cardiac Injury
Understanding the link between markers of cardiac injury and atrial fibrillation (AF) detected after stroke (AFDAS) may help refine stroke risk stratification and therapeutic approaches in AFDAS.

Unique Clinicopathologic Subclassifiers of Cryptogenic Cerebral Emboli
As many as 1 in 4 patients with acute ischemic stroke will have no identifiable mechanism on initial diagnostic evaluation.1 Many of these patients with a cryptogenic etiology of stroke were previously thought to have harbored an occult cardiac source of embolism (e.g., paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [pAF]). However, there is ample evidence that only a minority of these patients will have pAF on extended outpatient cardiac monitoring.2,3 Furthermore, anticoagulation has not been proven to be superior to antiplatelet therapy for secondary stroke prevention in embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS),4,5 as would have b...

A Novel Factor in Determining the Risk of Ischemic Cerebrovascular Events in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is closely related to clinical decompensation and poor clinical outcomes in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. However, the association between PH and ischemic cerebrovascular events (ICE) in AF patients has not been investigated. The authors purposed to examine this relationship.

Association Between Prior Anticoagulation and Thrombus Composition in Mechanical Thrombectomy Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Anticoagulation (AC) is the main preventive strategy for ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. We aim to investigate the association of prior AC with thrombus composition and clinical outcome in AF patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Taking the Obesity Paradox to New Heights in Cerebral Atherosclerosis
Obesity typically worsens many of the major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as elevating blood pressure, worsening dyslipidemia, increasing impaired plasma glucose metabolism (leading to metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus), and increasing systemic inflammation, increasing the risk of most CVD, including hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure, atrial fibrillation and cerebrovascular diseases.1 –3 However, in patients with established CVD, many studies published by my colleagues and I and others have demonstrated a consistent paradox, where obese patients with established CVD seem t...

Assessment of Serum IgG Titers to Various Periodontal Pathogens Associated with Atrial Fibrillation in Acute Stroke Patients
There is accumulating evidence that periodontal disease is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) or stroke, but it is unclear which causative species of periodontal disease are present in stroke patients with AF. We aimed to investigate the associations between AF and specific periodontal pathogens using serum titers of IgG antibodies of bacteria in acute stroke patients.
