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 …

Objectives Understanding the link between markers of cardiac injury and atrial fibrillation
(AF) detected after stroke (AFDAS) may help refine stroke risk stratification and therapeutic …

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

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 Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be known before the stroke (KAF) or be newly
detected after stroke (AFDAS). It is unknown whether the outcome of stroke differs between …

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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important risk factor for recurrent stroke. The study by Bugnicourt
et al.[1] describes the incidence of newly diagnosed AF (NDAF) in a clinical cohort of stroke …
