Stroke Risk as a Function of Atrial Fibrillation Duration and CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc Score.

TL;DR: There is an interaction between AF duration and CHA2DS2-VASc score which can further risk stratify AF patients for SSE and may be useful in guiding anticoagulation therapy.

Rivaroxaban versus Warfarin in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: In patients with atrial fibrillation, rivaroxaban was noninferior to warfarin for the prevention of stroke or systemic embolism and there was no significant between-group difference in the risk of major bleeding, although intracranial and fatal bleeding occurred less frequently in the rivroxaban group.

Atrial fibrillation as an independent risk factor for stroke: the Framingham Study.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the elderly are particularly vulnerable to stroke when atrial fibrillation is present, and the effects of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cardiac failure on the risk of stroke became progressively weaker with increasing age.
