Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) detected after insular stroke might arise from autonomic and
inflammatory mechanisms triggered by insular damage, and be associated with a low …

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 …

Background It is unknown whether atrial fibrillation (AF) detected after acute ischemic stroke

Background Atrial fibrillation is often missed by traditional intermittent electrocardiogram
monitoring after ischemic stroke due to its paroxysmal and asymptomatic nature. The …

Background and Purpose—Detection rates of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after acute
ischemic stroke increase with duration of ECG monitoring. To date, it is unknown which …

Background: Ischemic stroke with atrial fibrillation (AF) may recur despite appropriate
treatment. It may be AF-related or AF-unrelated. We compared the factors associated with AF …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be newly-diagnosed in up to 24% of patients with ischemic stroke
[1]. The entity so called “AF detected after stroke”(AFDAS) has been created to acknowledge …

Background and purpose Cortical insular damage is associated with cardiac arrhythmias
and an increased risk of death. We investigated the influence of insular damage on the …

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: Both cortical and cortical-subcortical (cortex-involved) lesions are typically
associated with embolic stroke, of which atrial fibrillation (AF) is the common cause. The aim …
