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 …

Cardiac arrhythmias occur frequently in patients with acute stroke, with atrial fibrillation (AF)
being the most common. Newly detected AF may lead to increased risk of ischemic stroke …

Background and Purpose—Whether newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (nAF) after stroke
reflects underlying heart disease and represents an increased risk of cardioembolic stroke …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be newly detected in approximately one-fourth of patients with
ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack without previously recognized AF. We present …

Background and objectives Prior evidence suggests that atrial fibrillation detected after
stroke (AFDAS) is distinct from known atrial fibrillation (KAF), with particular clinical …

Background It has been hypothesized that ischemic stroke can cause atrial fibrillation. By
elucidating the mechanisms of neurogenically mediated paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, novel …

Background and Purpose An individual selection of ischemic stroke patients at higher risk of
atrial fibrillation (AF) might increase the diagnostic yield of prolonged cardiac monitoring and …

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia and a major risk factor for stroke.
Aims: To assess whether AF in patients with acute ischaemic stroke is associated with …

Objective To compare the risk of 1-year ischemic stroke recurrence between atrial fibrillation
(AF) diagnosed after stroke (AFDAS) and sinus rhythm (SR) and investigate whether …

Background Detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) after a stroke is challenging. The
purpose of this study was to develop a clinical score to predict PAF in a cohort of acute …
