Evaluation of patients for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after ischemic stroke.
A n 84-year-old woman with a medical history significant for hypertension and hyperlipidemia presented with aphasia and was found to have a left parietal subacute infarct with hemorrhagic conversion and a remote right parietal lobe infarct, not previously recognized on computed tomography of the head. Workup included a transthoracic echocardiogram that showed normal left ventricular size, an ej...
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 کاملParoxysmal atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke
INTRODUCTION Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is perhaps the most underdiagnosed mechanism of apparent cryptogenic stroke (CS). Various studies have shown that increasing the duration of monitoring can increase the diagnosis of PAF in CS. METHODS We compared demographic and risk factors for ischemic stroke across different TOAST (Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) stroke subtyp...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation after acute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for stroke, although it may not always be directly responsible for the stroke. On the other hand, cardiac arrhythmias and electrocardiographic changes have been reported after ischemic stroke and numerous other intracranial pathologies. We tested the hypothesis that some patients with acute stroke may develop transient AF as a con...
متن کاملNoninvasive cardiac monitoring for detecting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or flutter after acute ischemic stroke: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Identifying paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/flutter is an essential part of the etiological workup of patients with ischemic stroke. However, there is controversy in the literature regarding the use of noninvasive cardiac rhythm monitoring with previous reviews reporting a low detection rate with routine monitoring. We performed a systematic review to determine the frequen...
