Evaluation of Left Atrial (LA) Metrics in Cardioembolic Stroke Patients According to Burden of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
This study aimed to evaluate left atrial (LA) metrics in CES in sinus rhythm (SR) (Group 1), paroxysmal (PAF) (Group 2), and persistent AF (Group 3). Consecutive CES patients presenting with index stroke to this tertiary hospital were evaluated; no prior AF and in-hospital telemetry determined patients as SR, PAF, or persistent AF (n=30/group). Comprehensive transthoracic echocardiogram evaluated LA metrics.

Abnormal P-Wave Axis Predicts Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Ischaemic Stroke or Transient Ischaemic Attack
This study sought to assess whether the presence of aPWA can prognosticate cardiovascular outcomes in patients admitted with ischaemic neurovascular events without captured AF.

A Statewide Population-Linkage Study on the Impact of Atrial Fibrillation on Outcomes in 145,293 Patients Admitted With COVID-19
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in COVID-19 patients. The impact of AF on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE defined as all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, heart failure or revascularisation), recurrent admissions with AF, and venous thromboembolism in patients hospitalised with COVID-19 is not well-defined.

Focal Anticoagulation by Somatic Gene Transfer: Towards Preventing Cardioembolic Stroke
Cardioembolic stroke (CS) has emerged as a leading cause of ischaemic stroke (IS); distinguished by thrombi embolising to the brain from cardiac origins; most often from the left atrial appendage (LAA). Contemporary therapeutic options are largely dependent on systemic anticoagulation as a blanket preventative strategy, yet this does not represent a nuanced or personalised solution. Contraindications to systemic anticoagulation create significant unmedicated and high-risk cohorts, leaving these patients at risk of significant morbidity and mortality.

Predicting Statin Adherence Following Hospital Discharge for Acute Coronary Syndromes: What ’s the Score?
The use of statins following acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is well documented to improve mortality and reduce hospitalisation, revascularisation and risk of stroke [1], and has become a frequently used benchmark to audit in-hospital care of such patients. Much less is known about adherence to statins following discharge —and the factors influencing this—which is the subject of the paper by Liao et al. in this edition of Heart, Lung and Circulation [2].

Mitral Valve Blood Cyst and Multi-Territory Ischaemic Stroke
A 78-year-old male with a history of hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia was admitted to hospital with acute left eye visual loss and diagnosed with retinal artery occlusion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple, bilateral cerebral infarcts involving supra- and infra-tentorial brain consistent with acute ischaemic stroke from a central embolic source. Extended ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring displayed sinus rhythm with no evidence of atrial flutter or fibrillation. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a cystic structure associated with the mitral valve, with no restriction or regurgitation.

Oral Anticoagulant Use in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Chronic Kidney Disease: A Review of the Evidence With Recommendations for Australian Clinical Practice
Chronic kidney disease is common in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and is associated with heightened risks of stroke/systemic embolisation and bleeding. In this review we outline the evidence for AF stroke prevention in kidney disease, identify current knowledge gaps, and give recommendations for anticoagulation at various stages of chronic kidney disease.Overall, anticoagulation is underused. Warfarin use becomes increasingly difficult with advancing kidney disease, with difficulty maintaining international normalised ratio (INR) in therapeutic range, increased risk of intracranial and fatal bleeding compared to n...

Adjunct Methods for the Detection of Patent Foramen Ovale: The Contribution of Transcranial Doppler and the Valsalva Manoeuvre
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is present in 25% of the population. In some patients, especially those without traditional stroke risk factors and with no immediately apparent cause, a cryptogenic stroke may be caused by an embolus passing through the PFO to the systemic circulation. The identification, or indeed exclusion, of a PFO is sought in these patients, most commonly using contrast-enhanced transthoracic or transoesophageal echocardiography. Another method for detecting a PFO is transcranial Doppler, which allows the detection of PFO possibly without the need for an echo laboratory, and with arguably improved sensitivity.

The Role of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Current Clinical Practice
Hypertension continues to be the leading modifiable risk factor for stroke, kidney disease and cardiovascular disease, and it also plays a key role in a significant proportion of preventable deaths globally. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is an underutilised tool that augments the accurate diagnosis of hypertension. Out-of-office blood pressure measurements such as ABPM, permits the diagnosis of white coat hypertension and masked hypertension as well as determining a patient ’s nocturnal dipping status.
