Validation of Clinical Classification Schemes for Predicting Stroke: Results From the National Registry of Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: The 2 existing classification schemes and especially a new stroke risk index, CHADS, can quantify risk of stroke for patients who have AF and may aid in selection of antithrombotic therapy.

Epidemiologic features of chronic atrial fibrillation: the Framingham study.

TL;DR: The development of chronic atrial fibrillation was associated with a doubling of overall mortality and of mortality from cardiovascular disease and among the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and electrocardiographic evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy were related to the occurrence of atrialfibrillation.

Characterization of Different Subsets of Atrial Fibrillation in General Practice in France The ALFA Study

TL;DR: In this article, the clinical presentation and causes of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the 1990s may differ from AF seen 2 to 3 decades ago, and the objective of this prospective study was to characterize various clinical presentations and underlying conditions of patients with AF observed in general practice in France.
