Increased risk of ischemic stroke associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation complicating acute coronary syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: NoAF is significantly associated with ischemic stroke events in patients with acute coronary syndrome, even after adjustment for several important isChemic stroke risk factors.

Effectiveness and safety of vitamin K antagonists and new anticoagulants in the prevention of thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation in older adults – a systematic review of reviews and the development of recommendations to reduce inappropriate prescribing

TL;DR: New oral anticoagulant use among adults aged ≥65 years with atrial fibrillation appears to reduce haemorrhagic strokes and intracranial bleedings more effectively than VKAs and should be considered especially in patients with low TTR (time in therapeutic range)/labile INR (International Normalized Ratio).
Journal ArticleDOI

A randomized trial evaluating the accuracy of AF detection by four external ambulatory ECG monitors compared to permanent pacemaker AF detection

TL;DR: All new ECMs were more expensive than the RT system; however, the ZM, NV and CAM are all more accurate than current standard practice RT device in AF burden assessment.

Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. Definitions for use in a multicenter clinical trial. TOAST. Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment

TL;DR: The TOAST stroke subtype classification system is easy to use and has good interobserver agreement and should allow investigators to report responses to treatment among important subgroups of patients with ischemic stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins

TL;DR: The pulmonary veins are an important source of ectopic beats, initiating frequent paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and these foci respond to treatment with radio-frequency ablation.
