Abstract
Diagnostic Scoring System for Atrial Fibrillation in Ischemic Stroke
Highlights
Background & ObjectivesAtrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhytmia that is found in daily practices
Patients with AF have four- to five-fold increased risk of developing ischemic stroke compared to normal population
Some cases of cryptogenic stroke are believed to be cardioembolic in origin which caused by occult AF
Summary
Those subject were patients with ischemic stroke admitted in Belitung or Ruteng General Hospital from January 2014 until August 2015. Data collected were subjects’ characteristics, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, smoking history, congestive heart failure (CHF), alcohol consumption, valvular heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, myocardial infarct history, previous stroke, Modified National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (mNIHSS) score, and left atrial diameter (LAD) We analyzed those data using bivariate and logistic regression multivariate analysis. This scoring system uses only clinical and echocardiographic profile that are easy to do, so it can be utilized as a simple diagnostic tool to identify ischemic stroke patient who is likely to have AF.
