TLDR
Clinical AF and subclinical atrial fibrillation (SCAF) are associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism and asymptomatic or silent atrial tachyarrhythmia often precede the development of clinical AF.Abstract:
Among atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT), atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia. Many patients with AT have no symptoms during brief or even extended periods of the arrhythmia, making detection in patients at risk for stroke challenging. Subclinical atrial tachyarrhythmia and asymptomatic or silent atrial tachyarrhythmia often precede the development of clinical AF. Clinical AF and subclinical atrial fibrillation (SCAF) are associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism. Indeed, in many cases, SCAF is discovered only after complications such as ischaemic stroke or congestive heart failure have occurredread more

TL;DR: Oral anticoagulation is the optimal choice of antithrombotic therapy for patients with AF with ≥1 non‐sex CHA2DS2‐VASc stroke risk factor(s), and stroke prevention (ie, oral antICOagulation therapy) is the next step.

Global epidemiology of atrial fibrillation: An increasing epidemic and public health challenge.
TL;DR: The analyses suggest that atrial fibrillation incidence and prevalence have increased over the last 20 years and will continue to increase over the next 30 years, especially in countries with middle socio-demographic index, becoming one of the largest epidemics and public health challenges.

Atrial fibrillation as an independent risk factor for stroke: the Framingham Study.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the elderly are particularly vulnerable to stroke when atrial fibrillation is present, and the effects of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cardiac failure on the risk of stroke became progressively weaker with increasing age.

Refining clinical risk stratification for predicting stroke and thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation using a novel risk factor-based approach: the euro heart survey on atrial fibrillation.
TL;DR: In this article, a simple stroke risk stratifi cation schema, based on a risk factor approach, provides some improvement in predictive value for TE over the CHADS 2 schema, with low event rates in low-risk subjects and only a small proportion of subjects into the intermediate-risk category.
