Introduction:Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS). Methods:We used clinical and proteomics data of stroke patients aged 18 years lodged within a prospective plasma repository from 2010 to 2014. years, 50% males) classified into 11 AFib and 49 no AFib (Figure 1).
