Primary and secondary stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation, with a prevalence of 6% in those over 65 years, is responsible for 75-100 x 10(3) strokes each year in the United States. These strokes are more severe and have less favorable long-term prognosis than strokes due to other mechanisms. Modern trials show that warfarin reduces stroke rate by about 70% and aspirin by about 20%. Although average annual stroke rate among atrial f...

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 under treated atrial fibrillation is responsible for most of these strokes, which are often fatal or debilitating. Most could be prevented if efforts were directed towards detection of atrial fibrillatio...
متن کاملStroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation.
Non-valvular atrial fibrillation is a common and from a neurological perspective the most significant cardiac arrhythmia with a growing world-wide incidence. It also carries a significant associated morbidity and mortality, with cardioembolic strokes arguably being the most disabling sequelae. This brief review will highlight the important studies and the latest treatment modalities available f...
