Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and congestive heart failure often coexist due to their
shared risk factors leading to potential worse outcome, particularly cerebrovascular events …

Background and Purpose—We aimed to determine individual and combined effects of atrial
fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) on acute ischemic stroke outcomes: in-hospital …

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the risk of stroke in patients with heart
failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Design Clinical and …

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate stroke aetiology and assess the predictors of
early and late outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and acute stroke. Methods and …

Like the dysfunctional left atrial appendage, the dilated left ventricle appears to be a site of
thrombus formation. Cardioembolism is likely the main pathogenesis of stroke in heart …

Aims This study aimed to elucidate the risk for stroke and systemic embolism (SE) in patients
with atrial fibrillation and heart failure (HF) according to HF type. Methods and results A total …

Aims Stroke patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have a poorer neurological outcome than
stroke patients without AF. Whether stroke patients with AF also have a higher rate of …

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a heterogeneous syndrome, but the effect of the type and
severity of HF on the incidence of stroke or systemic embolism (SE) in atrial fibrillation (AF) …

About 1.2 million people in Germany suffer from heart failure (HF) and HF is present in about
13–29% of all patients with acute ischemic stroke. HF is a risk factor for ischemic stroke and …

Background Heart failure (HF) is associated with an incremental risk of stroke, but limited
real-world data exist in patients with HF without atrial fibrillation (AF). Objectives To quantify …
