Atrial Fibrillation in Transient Ischemic Attack Versus Ischemic Stroke
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke 5-fold, but it is effectively reduced by the use of vitamin K antagonist and non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (OACs) as recommended in current guidelines. The proportion of AF among patients with ischemic stroke (IS) has been reported to range from 19% to 38%, with variability because of ethnicity, age, and detection mode. Men ca...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation in Transient Ischemic Attack Versus Ischemic Stroke: A Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke) Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Compared with ischemic stroke (IS), the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with transient ischemic attack (TIA) is less well established. We aimed to assess the proportion of AF in patients with TIA, and these patients' characteristics and secondary preventive treatment in comparison to patients with IS. METHODS Hospital-based data on TIA and IS events, registered ...

متن کاملAtrial fibrillation is not uncommon among patients with ischemic stroke and transient ischemic stroke in China
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is reported to be a less frequent cause of ischemic stroke in China than in Europe and North America, but it is not clear whether this is due to underestimation. Our aim was to define the true frequency of AF-associated stroke, to determine the yield of 6-day Holter ECG to detect AF in Chinese stroke patients, and to elucidate predictors of newly detected AF....
متن کاملTicagrelor versus Aspirin in Acute Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack.
BACKGROUND Ticagrelor may be a more effective antiplatelet therapy than aspirin for the prevention of recurrent stroke and cardiovascular events in patients with acute cerebral ischemia. METHODS We conducted an international double-blind, controlled trial in 674 centers in 33 countries, in which 13,199 patients with a nonsevere ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack who had no...
