What are the clinical, ECG, and echocardiographic predictors of atrial cardiopathy and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients with ESUS?
In patients with ESUS, specific echocardiographic and ECG parameters (E/e- > 12, PTFV1 > 5000 mV.ms, LA volume index > 34 ml/m2, EF < 45%) and hypertension can independently predict the presence of atrial cardiopathy and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Abstract Background There is still a significant population of patients with embolic stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) whose specific attributable cause of the stroke remains unknown. Objectives Our research aimed to assess clinical, electrocardiogram, laboratory, and echocardiographic parameters that may predict the propensity of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Methods We enrolled seventy-five ESUS patients who were in sinus rhythm at the time of stroke diagnosis to undergo in-hospital 7-day Holter monitoring, testing for Pro-BNP, and a standard echocardiographic examination. For statistical analysis, a P-value 12 were independent predictors of atrial cardiopathy, with p-values of 0.001 and 0.02, respectively. In patients with atrial cardiopathy, multivariable regression analysis was performed; PTFV > 5000 Mv.ms, LA volume index > 34 ml/m2, and ejection fraction 5000 mV.ms, LA volume index > 34 ml/m2, and ejection fraction < 45% as independent predictors for new-onset atrial fibrillation.
