Key result
Cardiac magnetic resonance identified concurrent myocardial infarction in 35.3% (12 of 34) of patients hospitalized for acute embolic stroke with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation.
Why the study?
Cardiocerebral infarction due to simultaneous cardiac and cerebral embolism in acute embolic stroke with first diagnosed atrial fibrillation remains poorly understood.
Population
34 patients with acute embolic stroke and first diagnosed AF undergoing CMR
Design
Prospective observational study

High concurrent MI prevalence by CMR in new-AF stroke is hypothesis-generating; prospective trials needed before practice change.
Observational (n=34)
No
There is a high prevalence of concurrent myocardial infarction detected by CMR in patients presenting with acute embolic stroke and newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation.
Artus et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Acute embolic stroke after first diagnosed atrial fibrillation (n=34). Acute embolic stroke with first diagnosed atrial fibrillation was evaluated on Myocardial infarction identified by cardiac magnetic resonance. Cardiac magnetic resonance identified concurrent myocardial infarction in 35.3% (12 of 34) of patients hospitalized for acute embolic stroke with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation.
