A Prospective-Comparative Study on Extremity of Stroke in Patients with and Without Atrial Fibrillation as a Clinical Predictor

Abstract

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a leading cause of ischemic stroke. It is critical to confirm the impact of AF on stroke outcomes. Objective: To assess the risk factors for stroke in conditions with or without atrial fibrillation. • To compare stroke severity and outcomes in stroke patients with or without atrial fibrillation. • To assess the vascular risk factors and co-morbid conditions Method: Analysis of the patient's medical information, such as age, gender, kind of stroke, location, mode of therapy, severity, and results. antithrombotic therapy) on 100 stroke victims (50 of them who exhibited AF and the other 50 without). Results: Age 61 to 80 were associated with a greater risk of strokes (33% non-AF, 14% AF), while age groups 81 and above were associated with a higher chance of atrial fibrillation (2% AF).men and females had the same incidence of AF (12% each), with the exception that females were more common in the non-AF group (47%) than men (29%). Patients with ischemic stroke were more prevalent (73%), but patients with hemorrhagic stroke (6% AF, 9% non-AF) were more likely to have it. The CHAD2DS2-VASc SCORE and AH showed that hypertensive people had a greater risk of stroke in both the AF (10%) and non-AF (46%) groups. Overall, the AF (10%) and non-AF (46%) groups had hypertension as the most common co-morbid disease, with antihypertensive medications being the commonest prescribed medicine (23% AF, 59% non-AF). Conclusion: The study concluded that if treatment methods for atrial fibrillation and stroke are given, patient outcomes can be improved with sufficient assessment and strict adherence.
