Introduction:The CHA2DS2-VASC score is used to predict stroke in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). Outcomes included health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at 90-180 days post-stroke/TIA; and all-cause mortality and hospital readmissions (all-cause, cardiovascular disease) within 1 year post-stroke/TIA.

Atrial fibrillation is also a predictor of worse outcomes in this case (Alborzi). 2016, April 13). RBBB in blunt chest trauma seems to be indicative of several RV injury. In patient's at risk, physical activity should be limited for several months after the injury. References Alborzi, Z., Zangouri, V., Ghahramani, Z.,

This led to the development of LAAO devices which serve to occlude the left atrial appendage, a small portion of the left atrium where up to 91% of the AF-related thrombi form. Oral Anticoagulation, often necessary for the treatment of patients with AF presents a problem for patients at high risk for bleeding.

Many studies have aimed to determine if heart failure (HF) is an independent risk factor in the development of AIS, but there is a paucity of literature describing the interventions and functional outcomes in this group of patients. Additionally, CM‐HF patients had higher rates of medical comorbidities such as atrial fibrillation (43.6%

BackgroundMeta‐analyses of large clinical trials investigating SGLT2 (sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2) inhibitors have suggested their protective effects against atrial fibrillation in patients with type 2 diabetes. An active‐comparator, new‐user design was used, and the 2 groups of patients were matched using propensity scores.
