What is the role of atrial fibrillation in the origin of embolic stroke in patients with mitral valve disease?
What is the role of atrial fibrillation in the origin of embolic stroke in patients with mitral valve disease?
Historically, atrial fibrillation was recognized as a critical factor leading to a three-fold higher incidence of systemic embolism in patients with mitral valve disease.
