Omar Ahmad,Kate E. Ahmad,Keith Dear,Isabel Harvey,Andrew Hughes,Andrew Hughes,Christian J. Lueck,Christian J. Lueck +7 more
TL;DR: A prevalence of AF in an Australian stroke unit is assessed to determine the degree of undertreatment at presentation and there is evidence to suggest that even in appropriate candidates warfarin therapy is underutilized.

Frequency of magnetic resonance signal abnormalities of the brain in patients aged <50 years with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
TL;DR: The data indicate a high incidence of parenchymal abnormalities of the brain in young, neurologically asymptomatic patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, and the duration of clinical evidence of IDC.

A multiple testing procedure for clinical trials.
TL;DR: The overall size of the procedure is shown to be controlled with virtually the same accuracy as the single sample chi-square test based on N(m1 + m2) observations and the power is found to bevirtually the same.

Epidemiologic assessment of chronic atrial fibrillation and risk of stroke: The Framingham Study
TL;DR: Controlled trials of anticoagulants or antiarrhythmic agents in persons with chronic AF may demonstrate if strokes can be prevented in this highly susceptible group.

Explanatory and pragmatic attitudes in therapeutical trials
Daniel Schwartz,Joseph Lellouch +1 more
TL;DR: Most therapeutic trials are inadequately formulated from the earliest stages of their conception, and it often occurs that one type of approach is ethically less defensible than the other, or may even be ruled out altogether on ethical grounds.

Randomised trial of prophylactic daily aspirin in British male doctors
Richard Peto,Richard Gray,Rory Collins,Keith Wheatley,Charles H. Hennekens,K Jamrozik,Charles Warlow,B Hafner,E Thompson,S Norton +9 more
TL;DR: A six year randomised trial was conducted among 5139 apparently healthy male doctors to see whether 500 mg aspirin daily would reduce the incidence of and mortality from stroke, myocardial infarction, or other vascular conditions.

TL;DR: It is concluded that lone atrial fibrillation in patients under the age of 60 at diagnosis is associated with a very low risk of stroke, and routine anticoagulation may not be warranted.
