The Effect of Integrated Care Management on Dementia in Atrial Fibrillation.

TL;DR: The stratified analysis showed that the ABC pathway reduced the risk of dementia regardless of sex, comorbidities, and in patients with high stroke risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

The association of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and atrial fibrillation: a review.

TL;DR: The epidemiologic evidence and possible mechanistic links between NALFD and AF are diverse, with obesity and systemic inflammation having a significant role, but further studies are needed until NAFLD can be established as a causal factor in the incidence of AF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outcomes associated with non-recommended dosing of rivaroxaban: results from the XANTUS study.

TL;DR: Non-recommended rivaroxaban dosing was associated with less favourable outcomes, possibly due to baseline characteristics, in addition to renal function, that may also affect physicians' dosing decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atrial fibrillation: villain or bystander in vascular brain injury.

TL;DR: A changed conceptual model with less focus on the arrhythmia, and more on atrial substrate/cardiomyopathy causing VBI both in the presence or absence of AF, is required to allow us to better prevent AF-related VBI.

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.
