Is baseline P-wave morphology associated with the risk of incident ischemic stroke independent of atrial fibrillation?

Baseline P-wave morphology is associated with incident stroke independent of atrial fibrillation, suggesting atrial cardiopathy as a potential mechanism.
We found an association between baseline P-wave morphology and incident stroke even after accounting for AF. This association may reflect an atrial cardiopathy that leads to stroke in the absence of AF.
