| Popis: | Ischemic strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are due to a variety of mechanisms, and are not necessarily the result of cardiogenic embolism. Due to improvement in imaging technology the detection of extraand intracranial stenoses is noninvasively possible, and improvements of cardiac monitoring devices have increased the detection rate of previously unknown AF in stroke patients [1]. The coincidence of AF and cerebral atherosclerosis leads to therapeutic considerations as illustrated by the following example. |
