Stroke and Bleeding Risk in Atrial Fibrillation
Non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in the clinical setting. AF increases both the risk and severity of strokes, and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Despite the clear net clinical benefit of oral anticoagulants (OACs) in patients with AF at risk for stroke, major bleeding events, especially intracranial bleeds, may be devastating. ...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillatory rate and risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation.
AIMS In atrial fibrillation (AF), a relation between electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters such as fibrillatory wave amplitude and stroke has been sought with conflicting results. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the atrial fibrillatory rate of surface ECG lead V1 is related to stroke risk and may consequently be helpful for identifying high-risk patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Atrial ...
متن کاملParoxysmal atrial fibrillation, stroke risk and thromboprophylaxis.
Thromb Haemost 2008; 100: 11–13 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest sustained cardiac rhythm disorder, which has particularly attracted much clinical and research interest from the mortality and morbidity associated with stroke and thromboembolism. The more chronic presentations of AF have clinical subtypes based on the temporal pattern of the arrhythmia – AF is considered recurrent when ...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation and Stroke - Increasing Stroke Risk With Intervention.
In this review, we focus on the important newly recognized appreciation for the paradoxical increase in stroke and TIA as a result of intervention meant to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) with the hope of decreasing stroke risk in the long term. The impact of silent cerebral lesions recently appreciated as a potentially major limitation and risk with AF ablation is explained. We categorize our p...
متن کاملStroke prevention in Atrial Fibrillation.
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...
