Preventing premature non-communicable disease mortality necessitates a thorough review
of one of the most important risk factors for stroke, which is atrial fibrillation (AF). The latter …

Objectives The role of cardiac arrhythmia in ischaemic stroke is widely studied, but the size
of the stroke risk in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND) with and without atrial …

Abstract Background and Aims The benefit of oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy in atrial
fibrillation (AF) and intermediate stroke risk is debated. In a nationwide Norwegian cohort …

Aims Isolated sinus node dysfunction (ISND) is a sinus node dysfunction without atrial

Introduction Cardioembolic (CE) risks is usually considered as the main mechanism of
ischemic stroke in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients. However, a substantial …

Introduction Stroke is one of the most devastating neurological disorders. Currently, we don't
have an ideal score that predicts the prognosis of stroke patients. The CHADS 2 and CHA 2 …

Background Heart failure (HF) patients have high risks of thromboembolic events regardless
of the category of left ventricular ejection fraction. We sought to assess whether the …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-known complication in the setting of ST elevation
