MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory molecules post-transcriptionally suppressing
mRNA activity. Many miRNAs in various organisms have been cloned but many unknown …

Atrial fibrillation is found in a third of all ischaemic strokes, even more after post-stroke atrial
fibrillation monitoring. Data from stroke registries show that both unknown and untreated or …

Concepts and our approaches to stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) have changed
markedly over the last decade. There has been an evolution over the approach to stroke and …

Importance Non–vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are commonly prescribed with other
medications that share metabolic pathways that may increase major bleeding risk. Objective …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an increasingly prevalent arrhythmia; its pathophysiology and
progression are well studied. Stroke and bleeding risk models have been created and …

Hypertension is a common cardiovascular risk factor leading to heart failure (HF), coronary
artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease and chronic renal insufficiency …

Background: When assessing ischemic stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the
CHA2DS2-VASc score is calculated based on the baseline risk factors, and the outcomes …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia. Both the incidence and
prevalence of AF are increasing, and the burden of AF is becoming huge. Many innovative …

Introduction Although guideline-adherent antithrombotic therapy (ATT) for stroke prevention
in atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with lower mortality and thromboembolism, ATT uptake …

Introduction: Prolonged cardiac monitoring (PCM) substantially improves the detection of
subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) among patients with history of ischemic stroke (IS), leading …
