Atrial Cardiopathy and the Risk of Ischemic Stroke in the CHS (Cardiovascular Health Study)

Emerging evidence suggests that an underlying atrial cardiopathy may result in thromboembolism before atrial fibrillation (AF) develops. We examined the association between various markers of atrial cardiopathy and the risk of ischemic stroke. The CHS (Cardiovascular Health Study) prospectively enro...
