Prof. Kosuke Inoue and colleagues (led by Dr. Shuhei Egashira) published a paper on long-term outcomes after ischemic stroke across atrial fibrillation phenotypes defined by detection timing and prior anticoagulation status (Journal: Neurology)
This nationwide cohort study examined long-term outcomes after ischemic stroke among patients with atrial fibrillation, using a Japanese administrative claims database. The study found that risks of recurrent stroke and other outcomes differed substantially according to atrial fibrillation phenotypes defined by detection timing and prior anticoagulation status. These findings suggest the importance of considering clinically distinct atrial fibrillation phenotypes when developing secondary prevention strategies after ischemic stroke.
