Key result

Atrial fibrillation was associated with concurrent acute ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction caused by coronary thromboembolism without atherosclerotic changes.

Implication

Warrants AF evaluation in concurrent stroke-MI without atherosclerosis; leaves open prospective validation of embolic mechanisms.

Structured PICO

Population

85-year-old man presenting with dysarthria, atrial fibrillation, ST-segment elevation in V2-V6, and multiple acute cerebral infarctions.

Intervention

Thrombus aspiration

This case highlights the occurrence of concurrent acute ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction without underlying atherosclerosis, likely due to thromboembolism from atrial fibrillation.
