AFib Facts and Impacts Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting 2% of individuals worldwide. Some patients need computed tomography or transoesophageal echocardiography to exclude the presence of a blood clot in the heart.

In Ischaemic strokes, there is some sort of blockage either in the major vessels that take the blood (this is called large vessel atherosclerosis) to the brain or even in the smaller vessels (called small vessel occlusion). Conditions such as AFib are often said to be associated with stroke as a consequence of cardioembolism.
