Why the study?
Does a greater burden of atrial fibrillation increase the risk of ischemic stroke in adults with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Does a greater burden of atrial fibrillation increase the risk of ischemic stroke in adults with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
A greater burden of atrial fibrillation independently increases the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
AF burden may refine stroke risk assessment in paroxysmal AF; leaves open whether it should guide anticoagulation.
A greater burden of atrial fibrillation is associated with a higher risk of ischemic stroke independent of known stroke risk factors in adults with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
