Score for atrial fibrillation detection in acute stroke and transient ischemic attack patients in a Brazilian population: The acute stroke atrial fibrillation scoring system
OBJECTIVE Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that increases the risk of stroke by four- to five-fold. We aimed to establish a profile of patients with atrial fibrillation from a population of patients admitted with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack using clinical and echocardiographic findings. METHODS We evaluated patients consecutively admitted to a tertiary hospita...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation in Transient Ischemic Attack Versus Ischemic Stroke
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke 5-fold, but it is effectively reduced by the use of vitamin K antagonist and non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (OACs) as recommended in current guidelines. The proportion of AF among patients with ischemic stroke (IS) has been reported to range from 19% to 38%, with variability because of ethnicity, age, and detection mode. Men ca...
متن کاملStroke Risk Predictor Scoring Systems in Atrial Fibrillation.
An effective risk stratification which could help us identify high-risk patients who should take oral anticoagulants (OACs) is the key step for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (SPAF). Several scoring systems were available to estimate the risk of stroke in AF, including CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, R2CHADS2 and ATRIA scores, which were constituted of different clinical risk factors. Recently,...
متن کاملEvaluation of patients for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after ischemic stroke.
A n 84-year-old woman with a medical history significant for hypertension and hyperlipidemia presented with aphasia and was found to have a left parietal subacute infarct with hemorrhagic conversion and a remote right parietal lobe infarct, not previously recognized on computed tomography of the head. Workup included a transthoracic echocardiogram that showed normal left ventricular size, an ej...
متن کاملGenetics of Atrial Fibrillation and Possible Implications for Ischemic Stroke
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia mainly caused by valvular, ischemic, hypertensive, and myopathic heart disease. Atrial fibrillation can occur in families suggesting a genetic background especially in younger subjects. Additionally recent studies have identified common genetic variants to be associated with atrial fibrillation in the general population. This cardiac arr...
