Key result
Among patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, the prevalence of unexplained stroke was 2.8%, with older age and atrial fibrillation history acting as predictors.

What is the prevalence of unexplained stroke in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia?
Unexplained stroke is rare (2.8%) in patients with paroxysmal SVT, with older age and prior atrial fibrillation being significant predictors.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Unexplained stroke remains uncommon in paroxysmal SVT; leaves open whether AF screening improves outcomes in higher-risk subgroups.
Brembilla-Perrot et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (n=1,362). Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia was evaluated on Prevalence of unexplained stroke. Among patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, the prevalence of unexplained stroke was 2.8%, with older age and atrial fibrillation history acting as predictors.
