Excessive Atrial Ectopy and Short Atrial Runs Increase the Risk of Stroke Beyond Incident Atrial Fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Approximately 30% of ischemic strokes have an unknown cause. Increased atrial ectopy (AE) increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the risk of stroke in patients with increased AE is unknown. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine whether increased AE and short atrial runs increase the risk of stroke beyond incident AF. METHODS Data were collected during a 15-year foll...
متن کاملStroke and Bleeding Risk in Atrial Fibrillation
Non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in the clinical setting. AF increases both the risk and severity of strokes, and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Despite the clear net clinical benefit of oral anticoagulants (OACs) in patients with AF at risk for stroke, major bleeding events, especially intracranial bleeds, may be devastating. ...
متن کاملParoxysmal atrial fibrillation, stroke risk and thromboprophylaxis.
Thromb Haemost 2008; 100: 11–13 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest sustained cardiac rhythm disorder, which has particularly attracted much clinical and research interest from the mortality and morbidity associated with stroke and thromboembolism. The more chronic presentations of AF have clinical subtypes based on the temporal pattern of the arrhythmia – AF is considered recurrent when ...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation - Current Understanding and Management Strategies
169 Introduction Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia characterized by irregular, disorganized and chaotic electrical activity of the atrium. The ECG classically is represented by low amplitude, variable and irregular base-line undulations corresponding to atrial rate in the range of 400-600/min. The ventricular rate is irregularly irregular (Fig. 1). The mean ventricular rate is usually b...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillatory rate and risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation.
AIMS In atrial fibrillation (AF), a relation between electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters such as fibrillatory wave amplitude and stroke has been sought with conflicting results. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the atrial fibrillatory rate of surface ECG lead V1 is related to stroke risk and may consequently be helpful for identifying high-risk patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Atrial ...
