Why the study?
Does new-onset atrial fibrillation increase the long-term risk of ischemic stroke in patients after acute myocardial infarction, and does this risk differ by gender?
Does new-onset atrial fibrillation increase the long-term risk of ischemic stroke in patients after acute myocardial infarction, and does this risk differ by gender?
New-onset atrial fibrillation following an acute myocardial infarction is a significant risk factor for long-term ischemic stroke specifically in women.
Alerts clinicians to sex-specific stroke risk with NOAF post-AMI; extends RCT evidence on gender differences in AF outcomes.
Both NOAF and previous AF were associated with ischemic stroke after AMI, but the impact of NOAF as a risk factor of ischemic stroke was significant only in women.
