Background Atrial fibrillation (AF), a common, frequently asymptomatic cardiac arrhythmia, is a major risk factor for stroke. 1720 (48%) were female, 1780 (50%) were hypertensive and 285 (8%) were current smokers. The Keele Decision Support tool was used to assess patients for oral anticoagulation (OAC).

Back in the early 1990s, it was generally believed that the transition from paroxysmal to permanent AF was due to aging and/or the effect of an underlying cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, valvular defects, or heart failure.

Another type of heart disease which leads to stroke is an abnormal rhythm of the heart known as atrial fibrillation. In atrial fibrillation, there is a fast irregular rhythm originating in the upper chambers of the heart.

When atrial fibrillation (AF) begins, it can start with a single focus, degenerating to multiple wavelets, and it spreads throughout the entire surface area of both atria. A fibrillatory wave that occurs at a rate of more than 600 beats per minute can cause fatigue in the long run, leading to atrial dilation.
