Ce-454029-4 racial disparities in the use of oral anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation by sex and within high and low stroke risk populations
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Oral anticoagulation (OAC) has been shown to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with AF. Previous studies have demonstrated that both females and Black, Hispanic, and Asian groups are less likely to be prescribed OAC.

Po-01-002 association of novel combined genetic polymorphisms with risk of thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation
AF patients remain on oral anticoagulation (OAC) or left atrial appendage (LAA) closure is performed for thromboprophylaxis. However, clots on the closure device as well as stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) are observed to occur in some patients despite of being on blood thinners or after being off-OAC for a very brief period.

Po-05-218 atrial myopathy forms the substrate for ischemic stroke in patients without atrial fibrillation: secondary analysis of topcat trial.
Around 25% of all ischemic strokes do not have an etiology despite a complete standardized diagnostic workup. Recent studies emphasized the effect of atrial dysfunction on arrhythmogenesis and thrombogenesis. At present, there is a lack of a direct link between atrial myopathy and ischemic stroke independently of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Po-03-135 left atrial appendage occlusion versus standard of care in patients with atrial fibrillation and a prior thrombo-embolic event despite oral anticoagulant therapy: a propensity score matched comparison
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) that suffer from ischemic stroke despite oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy have a very high risk of recurrent stroke and better prevention strategies are needed. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a promising secondary prevention strategy that may provide mechanical protection. However, evidence showing effectiveness of LAAO in this population is scarce and the current international guidelines only consider LAAO in patients with a contra-indication for OAC.

Improving guideline-based anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation: A systematic literature review of prospective trials
Guidelines for anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) aim to decrease the risk of ischemic stroke. However, there is a gap in actual practice between patients who have an indication for anticoagulation and those who are actually prescribed anticoagulation.

Po-625-05 electrocardiographic deep terminal negative of the p wave in v1 and ischemic stroke:the atherosclerosis risk in communities (aric) study
Abnormal P-wave indices are associated with ischemic stroke independent of atrial fibrillation (AF). Deep terminal negative of the P wave in V1 (DTNPV1) is a simple ECG index that reflects underlying left atrial remodeling. However, it is unknown whether DTNPV1 is associated with ischemic stroke.

Po-699-03 ischemic stroke risk correlates with degree of left atrial fibrosis in atrial fibrillation patients
Increasing data support a causal relationship between left atrial (LA) remodeling and ischemic stroke (IS) risk in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.

Ce-543-01 4-fold higher rate of atrial fibrillation detection after stroke of presumed known etiology with continuous versus intermittent monitoring: results from the stroke af study
In patients (pts) with recent ischemic stroke, atrial fibrillation (AF) may be common regardless of the stroke etiology. Timely diagnosis and intervention may prevent more disabling recurrent strokes.

Hp-574-04 associations between obesity parameters and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke in different age groups: a nationwide population-based study
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke (IS) are two representative cardiovascular diseases. They share common metabolic risk factors such as obesity and ageing is an important predisposing factor. Limited data comprehensively evaluated the relationship between obesity measurements - body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) - and incident AF and IS in the different age groups.

Po-693-03 atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke: a real-world study with insertable cardiac monitor
Patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS) undergo insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) screen for occult atrial fibrillation (AF) as a possible ischemic stroke etiology. Continuous monitoring with ICM was shown to be superior to intermittent cardiac monitoring in the detection of AF in the CRYSTAL-AF Trial. However, there is limited real-world data about the rate of AF detection using ICM in patients with cryptogenic stroke.

Po-661-03 use of a deep learning algorithm to predict paroxysmal atrial fibrillation based on printed electrocardiographic records acquired during sinus rhythm
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common type of sustained arrhythmia worldwide. Asymptomatic AF, which occurs frequently, is associated with an increased incidence of ischemic stroke, heart failure, and mortality. A large number of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) remain undiagnosed due to the absence of electrocardiographic evidence of AF (AF-ECGs). If PAF could be predicted, targeted screening could improve early detection and treatment of this condition.

Po-713-05 ischemic stroke after prophylaxis with left atrial appendage closure vs non-warfarin oral anticoagulants: a “real-world” multicenter comparison of stroke severity
In randomized trials, strokes occurring in patients who have received left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) devices have been less severe than in patients receiving warfarin prophylaxis - an observation thought related to warfarin ’s higher rate of hemorrhagic stroke (which are known to have worse outcomes). Similar stroke rates have been described with LAAC vs NOACs (non-warfarin oral anticoagulants), but the low hemorrhagic stroke rate of NOACs raises the question of stroke severity between these two therapies.
