Association of Left Atrial Fibrosis Detected by Delayed-Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging and the Risk of Stroke in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: The preliminary, multicenter results suggest DE- MRI-based detection of LA fibrosis is independently associated with prior history of strokes, and it is proposed that the amount of DE-MRI-determinedLA fibrosis could represent a marker for stroke and a possible therapeutic target with potential applicability for clinical treatment for patients with AF.

Effect of Age on Stroke Prevention Therapy in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: The Atrial Fibrillation Investigators

TL;DR: As patients with atrial fibrillation age, the relative efficacy of AP to prevent ischemic stroke appears to decrease, whereas it does not change for OAC, and the absolute benefit of OAC increases as patients get older.

Device-detected atrial fibrillation and risk for stroke: an analysis of >10 000 patients from the SOS AF project (Stroke preventiOn Strategies based on Atrial Fibrillation information from implanted devices)

TL;DR: Device-detected AF burden is associated with an increased risk of ischaemic stroke in a relatively unselected population of CIEDs patients, and this finding may add to the basis for timely and clinically appropriate decision-making on anticoagulation treatment.
