Background and Purpose—Detection rates of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after acute
ischemic stroke increase with duration of ECG monitoring. To date, it is unknown which …

Background It is unknown whether atrial fibrillation (AF) detected after acute ischemic stroke
is caused by neurogenic or cardiogenic mechanisms. Based on the potential damage to the …

Background Neurogenic cardiac impairment can occur after acute ischemic stroke (AIS), but
the mapping of the neuroanatomic correlation of stroke-related myocardial injury remains …

Objective Elevated levels of cardiac troponin, and especially their relative changes over
time, indicate acute myocardial injury. They are also frequently observed after acute …

Background and Purpose—Adequate diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF), including
paroxysmal AF, is an important part of stroke workup. Prolonged ECG monitoring may …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of ischemic stroke. Cardiac troponin
(cTnI) is a marker of myocardial damage and may predict arrhythmia. We sought to …

Background and Purpose—Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients may have raised serum
cardiac troponin levels on admission, although it is unclear what prognostic implications this …

Background: Elevated levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) have been reported in acute stroke
and atrial fibrillation (AF). We tested a hypothesis in which the result of an initial cTnI assay …

Background—A relevant proportion of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have
elevated levels of cardiac troponins (cTn). However, the frequency of coronary ischemia as …

Background. Elevated cardiac troponin in acute stroke in absence of acute coronary
syndrome (ACS) has unclear long‐term outcomes. Methods. Retrospective analysis of 566 …
