Phenotypic determinants of atrial fibrillation in ischaemic stroke: a retrospective study.
Identifying specific patient patterns may enable targeted screening to catch atrial fibrillation earlier, preventing strokes in high-risk individuals.
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cause of ischaemic stroke and a major global health burden, but is often undetected in routine clinical practice. These findings suggest potential areas for targeted screening in high-risk clinical phenotypes.
