Cancer patients have a higher risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) than general population, however, the link between cancer and AF is not fully understood. The association between AF detected by implanted cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and the incidence of embolic stroke has been reported.

Background Data on the management of patients with cancer presenting with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) are scarce. We aimed to assess the characteristics and outcomes of SCA according to cancer history. Results Out of 4069 patients who had SCA admitted alive in hospital, 207 (5.1%) had current or past medical history of cancer.

Addressing the serious issue of delayed and missed findings in diagnostic imaging, CINA-iPE is an AI-powered tool that detects incidental pulmonary embolism during routine CT scans. This is particularly relevant in the cancer patient population, where pulmonary embolism is a significant cause of mortality.

However, there are no existing data supporting an independent relationship between cancer and atrial cardiopathy, another atrial pathology associated with increased acute ischemic stroke (AIS) risk. The study exposure was active cancer. We performed a subgroup analysis among patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS).Results:The

BackgroundThe risk of comorbidity of cancer is increased in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, which is a massive challenge for clinical management in cardiovascular settings. The propensity score matching method was utilized to balance the differences between the cancer and non-cancer groups. 1.83, P = 0.62).ConclusionsThe

Abelacimab is currently in Phase 3 development with the lead indication for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation (LILAC-TIMI 76), in addition to two studies in patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (ASTER and MAGNOLIA). Data from these trials are expected in the second half of 2026.

We aimed to compare IS characteristics of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received ICIs compared to those who did not. Stroke etiology consistent with embolic stroke with unknown source (ESUS) was more common in the ICI group (chemotherapy only 2.3%, ICI 64%, p=0.02).Conclusions:Contrary
