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: Ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) standard-of-care
etiological investigations include an ECG and prolonged cardiac monitoring (PCM). Atrial …

AFDAS may differ from atrial fibrillation known before stroke in several clinical dimensions,
which are important for optimal patient care strategies. Many questions remain unanswered …

Background and Purpose—Atrial fibrillation (AF) confers a high risk of recurrent stroke,
although detection methods and definitions of paroxysmal AF during screening vary. We …

Background and Purpose—We aim to compare the risk of 1-year ischemic stroke recurrence
and death for atrial fibrillation diagnosed after stroke (AFDAS), atrial fibrillation known before …

Background and Purpose When atrial fibrillation (AF) is first documented at the time of onset
of acute stroke, it is difficult to establish a temporal relationship between AF and stroke. Did …

Background: Preliminary evidence suggests that patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) detected
after stroke (AFDAS) may have a lower prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities and …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke resulting in a fivefold
increased stroke risk and a twofold increased mortality. Our understanding of stroke …

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 Among patients with atrial fibrillation, the risk of stroke is highest for those with a
history of stroke; however, oral anticoagulants can lower the risk of recurrent stroke by two …
