Echocardiographic measures of atrial function may predict atrial fibrillation in stroke patients

Objective: In patients with a prior stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) and atrial fibrillation anticoagulant treatment is indicated. This study's purpose was to investigate if echocardiography can predict unknown AF in patients after stroke. Design: Prospectively, 174 stroke/TIA patients...
