Association between Atrial Fibrillation and Three-Year Mortality in Nondiabetic Patients with Acute First-Ever Ischemic Stroke
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) and is known to be an important risk factor for death from stroke. The influence of AF on long-term outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke remains controversial. To clarify the exact influence of AF on stroke outcome and exclude the effect from DM, we investigated the influence of AF on the 3-year outcomes of nondiabetic patients with acute first-ever ischemic stroke.

Effects of Sodium/Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors on Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke: A Meta-Analysis
Globally, the number of people estimated to have diabetes mellitus (DM) in 2019 was 463 million, and the estimated number is expected to rise to 578 million people by 2030.1 DM is also associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), 2 and has shown to be an independent risk factor for stroke in patients with AF.3 A meta-analysis of 102 studies further showed that patients with diabetes have a higher risk of all subtypes of stroke (ischemic, hemorrhagic and unclassified stroke).4 This has generated great interest in anti-hyperglycemic agents and their ability to reduce the cardiovascular complications of diabetes.

Association between gender and stoke recurrence in ischemic stroke patients with high-grade carotid artery stenosis
In conclusion, male gender is associated with increased risk of recurrent ischemic stroke in patients with high-grade ICA stenosis during 5-year follow-up. Further prospective trial to assess whether male gender may benefit from more aggressive vascular risk factors control and treatment strategies for stroke prevention is warranted.

Long-term outcomes of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure for the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation: Asia-Pacific experience
CONCLUSION: This long-term follow-up study shows that percutaneous closure of LAA is a safe and technically feasible procedure with satisfactory outcomes in Asia. The procedure success rate, efficacy and adverse event were similar to those reported in the Caucasian populations.PMID:34799213 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2021.10.010

Obstructive sleep apnea and the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Prevention of thromboembolism with oral anticoagulant agents is an important treatment for patients with AF. CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc score has been widely used as the initial approach to assess future stroke risk among AF patients. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common breathing disorder associated with substantial cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It has been reported as an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke [1–4].

Seasonal variation in the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation: A nationwide cohort study
Several cardiovascular diseases exhibit seasonal variations, but data about cold temperature and risk of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are limited.

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.

Association of digoxin with mortality in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease: A population-based cohort study
In conclusion, our study demonstrated that digoxin use was associated with increased mortality, but not cardiovascular events or renal function decline in advanced CKD patients. This finding warns the safety of presc ribing digoxin in this population. Future prospective studies are needed to overcome the limitations of cohort study design.

Incidence of thromboembolic and bleeding events in patients with newly diagnosed nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: An Asian multicenter retrospective cohort study in Singapore
ConclusionsSAPT and DAPT are less effective than warfarin in NVAF patients. DOACs may be considered in view of lower risk of overall bleed.

Novel oral anticoagulant vs. warfarin in elderly atrial fibrillation patients with normal, mid ‐range, and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction
ConclusionsIn elderly AF patients ≥65 years, using NOAC was associated with lower IS/SE compared with warfarin in normal and mid‐range LVEF but not in reduced LVEF. Using NOACs was associated with lower death compared with warfarin in normal LVEF.

Migraine with aura associates with a higher artificial intelligence: ECG atrial fibrillation prediction model output compared to migraine without aura in both women and men
CONCLUSIONS: Utilizing a novel AI-ECG algorithm on a large group of patients, we demonstrated that patients with MwA have a significantly higher AF prediction model output, implying a higher probability of concurrent paroxysmal or impending AF, compared to MwoA in both women and men. Our results suggest that MwA is an independent risk factor for AF, especially in patients <55 years old, and that AF-mediated cardioembolism may play a role in the migraine-stroke association for some patients.PMID:35676887 | DOI:10.1111/head.14339
