Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in young patients with ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
The recommended cardiac rhythm evaluation to determine the etiology of ischemic stroke (IS) is similar in all patients regardless of their age and includes an electrocardiogram and at least a 24-hour heart rhythm monitoring. However, it is known that the main causes of IS vary according to patients ’ age. There is a higher preponderance of arterial dissections and patent foramen ovale in younger patients, while atrial fibrillation (AF) is more common in older patients.

Regular pulse checks for patients with non-cardioembolic stroke in rehabilitation hospitals to improve recognition and detection of atrial fibrillation (the ESCORT study): protocol for a prospective multicenter observational study
ConclusionThe findings of this study will help identify patients with AF in rehabilitation hospitals and improve awareness among therapists.

Atrial Myopathy and Ischemic Stroke in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
We examined the hypothesis that atrial myopathy may be associated with ischemic stroke in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This is an exploratory, post hoc analysis of the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure with an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) trial. Patients with sinus rhythm documented at baseline electrocardiogram and without known AF were included in this analysis.

Differential Diagnosis of New Giant T-Wave Inversions
To the Editor The electrocardiogram (ECG) presented by Dr Cai and colleagues is indeed a great challenge. Two days after a fall, an older patient was admitted to the hospital with a hip fracture that was treated by external fixation and skin traction. On hospital day 2, the patient suddenly lost consciousness. An ECG immediately performed showed giant negative T waves (>20 mm) in the precordial leads and a QTc prolongation of 535 milliseconds. Cardiac troponin was elevated. Findings of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (performed because of neurologic deficits) showed bilateral multifocal subacute ische...

Using Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Ischemic Stroke Events After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
CONCLUSIONS: The RF model accurately predicts short- and long-term risk of IS and outperforms logistic regression analysis in patients undergoing PCI. Patients with periprocedural stroke may benefit from aggressive management to reduce the future risk of IS.PMID:37410747
