Background and Purpose— Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke its prevalence increases steeply with age. Population-based data on influence outcome are scarce. Methods— We evaluated the of AF prognosis in patients first-ever from population-based registry. Results— The presence at onset during acute phase was confirmed by standard electrocardiogram 869 (24.6%) 3530 stroke. With respect to without arrhythmia, those were more frequently women, aged 80 years older,...
