Cerebral small vessel disease is common in older adults and increases the risk of stroke, cognitive impairment, and dementia. While often attributed to midlife vascular risk factors such as hypertension, factors from earlier in life may contribute to later small vessel disease risk.

The big risk of AF is thought to be an increased risk of strokes and therefore when we see patients above the age of 65, or patients who carry comorbidities we recommend lifelong anticoagulation and as long as the patient is anticoagulated, we feel that the patient is safe. We never really think beyond the risk of stroke.
