Cardiac Arrhythmias and Abnormal Electrocardiograms After Acute Stroke.
Abstract Cardiac arrhythmias and electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities occur frequently but are often underrecognized after strokes. Acute ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes in some particular area of brain can disrupt central autonomic control of the heart, precipitating cardiac arrhythmias, ECG abnormalities, myocardial injury and sometimes sudden death. Identification of high-risk patients after acute stroke is important to arrange appropriate cardiac monitoring and effective management of arrhythmias, and to prevent cardiac morbidity and mortality. More studies are needed to better clarify pathogenesis, localiza...

High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Risk of Stroke in Atrial Fibrillation (From the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Study REGARDS)
The relationship between inflammation and prothrombotic state in atrial fibrillation (AF) is well recognized. This suggests a potential role for high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation, in improving prediction of stroke in participants with AF. Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to examine the risk of stroke in 25,841 participants (40% black, 55% women) with and without AF who were enrolled in the REGARDS study between 2003 and 2007. Baseline AF (n=2,132) was ascertained by electrocardiogram and self-reported history of previous physician diagnosis.

Higher pulse pressure/stroke volume index is associated with impaired outcome in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy the LIFE study.
Authors: Mancusi C, Gerdts E, de Simone G, Midtbø H, Lønnebakken MT, Boman K, Wachtell K, Dahlöf B, Devereux RB Abstract We tested the prognostic impact of a marker of arterial stiffness, pulse pressure/stroke volume index (PP/SVi) in patients with hypertension and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. We used data from 866 patients randomized to losartan or atenolol-based antihypertensive treatment, over a median of 4.8 years, in the Losartan Intervention For Endpoint reduction in hypertension (LIFE) study. The association of PP/SVi with outcomes was tested in Cox regression analyses and reported as hazard ratio (...

Duration of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke is not associated with stroke severity and early outcomes
The current definition of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) requires an arbitrary cut-off of>30s, but in clinical practice cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients with PAF duration of ≤30s are not usually excluded from anticoagulation therapy. We sought to evaluate the clinical relevance of short-duration (≤30s) PAF in CS. Consecutive CS patients with no prior AF history and sinus-rhythm on baseline electrocardiography (ECG) were prospectively evaluated over a three-year peri od. Baseline stroke severity was assessed by NIHSS-scores.

1 The use and impact of 12-lead electrocardiograms in acute stroke patients: a systematic review
Conclusion Future studies should be based in the prehospital environment and should investigate whether undertaking an electrocardiogram in the prehospital setting affects clinical management decisions or has an association with mortality or morbidity. Conflict of interest None declared Funding This work was supported by School of Health Sciences PhD bursary – University of Surrey, and South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust.

Disentangling the risk of atrial fibrillation detected after ischemic stroke (AFDAS): A real challenge in clinical practice
Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be newly-diagnosed in up to 24% of patients with ischemic stroke [1]. The entity so called “AF detected after stroke” (AFDAS) has been created to acknowledge the complexity of diagnosing and managing these patients [2]. AFDAS may be a pre-existing AF condition that is unknown and/or asymptomatic, and is only diagnosed because of thorough post-stroke electrocardiographic monitoring in a yet unknown proportion of patients. Conversely, it may also be the consequence of neurogenic AF mechanisms triggered by the presence of a stroke.

Left ventricular hypertrophy assessed by electrocardiogram is associated with more severe stroke and with higher in-hospital mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), assessed by electrocardiogram (ECG), is associated with increased risk for stroke. However, few studies that evaluated whether ECG-detected LVH predicts ischemic stroke severity and outcome. We aimed to evaluate these associations.

Electrocardiographic Monitoring for Prevention of AF-Associated Cardioembolic Stroke
Screening appropriate populations for atrial fibrillation has become an important clinical question, because cardioembolic stroke may be the first clinical manifestation of atrial fibrillation. In this issue ofJAMA, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) provides its Recommendation Statement on screening for atrial fibrillation with electrocardiography (ECG), based on a detailed review of the evidence. For a substantial number of patients, atrial fibrillation may first be diagnosed concurrent with the stroke or in follow-up. Given the known association of atrial fibrillation with stroke and that anticoagulation can...

Atrial Fibrillation After Ischemic Stroke Detected by Chest Strap-Style 7-Day Holter Monitoring and the Risk Predictors: EDUCATE-ESUS.
CONCLUSIONS: In recent ESUS patients, the detection rate of AF using the 7-day Holter monitoring was 6.8% (95% CI 4.1%-11.1%). Brain natriuretic peptide, APC count, and APC short runs in the standard clinical workup seemed to be predictors of covert AF. PMID: 32801289 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Detection of Atrial Fibrillation on Stroke Units: Comparison of Manual versus Automatic Analysis of Continuous Telemetry
Conclusion: Automatic AF detection is highly specific, but sensitivity is relatively low. Results of this study suggest that automated computer-based AF detection should be rather complementary to manual ECG analysis than replacing it.Cerebrovasc Dis
