Atrial Fibrillation for the Neurologist: Preventing both Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Strokes
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to help neurologists managing atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who had an ischemic stroke and/or with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) markers, therefore at high embolic/hemorrhagic risks. RECENT FINDINGS Implantable loop recorders have substantially improved the accuracy of AF detection. Recent research yielded a set of powerful neuroimaging markers that can ...
متن کاملDabigatran versus warfarin: effects on ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes and bleeding in Asians and non-Asians with atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial hemorrhage rates are higher in Asians than non-Asians, especially in patients receiving warfarin. This randomized evaluation of long-term anticoagulation therapy subgroup analysis assessed dabigatran etexilate (DE) and warfarin effects on stroke and bleeding rates in patients from Asian and non-Asian countries. METHODS There were 2782 patients (15%) from 10...
متن کاملRehabilitation Outcomes: Ischemic versus Hemorrhagic Strokes
Background. Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes have different pathophysiologies and possibly different long-term cerebral and functional implications. Hemorrhagic strokes expose the brain to irritating effects of blood and ischemic strokes reflect localized or diffuse cerebral vascular pathology. Methods. Participants were individuals who suffered either an ischemic (n = 172) or hemorrhagic strok...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation, TIAs and completed strokes.
A retrospective survey of 1076 patients with completed strokes and 789 with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) revealed that 5.6% of those with completed strokes but only 1.6% of those with TIAs were in atrial fibrillation. TIAs in the presence of atrial fibrillation tended to last longer than 60 minutes except in individuals who had coexistent carotid disease that might have been the source of ...
