Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, occurring in 1–2% of the
general population. Its prevalence varies between continents and ethnicity, but the …

We aimed to provide practical recommendations for the screening of subclinical atrial
fibrillation (AF) in patients with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) of …

Abstract The Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) atrial fibrillation (AF) guidelines
program was developed to aid clinicians in the management of these complex patients, as …

Cardiac thromboembolism attributed to atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for up to one-
third of ischemic strokes. Stroke may be the first manifestation of previously undetected AF …

Among atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT), atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained
arrhythmia. Many patients with AT have no symptoms during brief or even extended periods …

Background: Cryptogenic stroke accounts for 30% to 40% of ischemic stroke. It is essential
to determine the possible culprit because this will improve secondary stroke prevention …

Background The long-term incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in cryptogenic stroke (CS)
patients has been explored in carefully controlled clinical trials but real-world data are …

This expert opinion paper on atrial fibrillation detection after ischemic stroke includes a
statement of the “Heart and Brain” consortium of the German Cardiac Society and the …

Background Newly detected atrial fibrillation (NDAF) following an ischemic stroke or
transient ischemic attack is often paroxysmal in nature. While challenging to detect …

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with increased risk of stroke,
which can be reduced with appropriate anticoagulation treatment. However, it remains …
