Popis: Aim: The risk of ischemic stroke is increased 5-fold in patients with atrial fibrillation (the most common reason for cardiac arrhythmia). The aim is to investigate whether insufficiency in anterior pituitary hormones develops in patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and no history of cerebrovascular accident. Method: A group of 65 patients with chronic /paroxysmal atrial fibrillation without a history of cerebrovascular accident and a group of 65 healthy controls without arrhythmia were included in this study. Atrial fibrillation was diagnosed by electrocardiography or 24-hour rhythm holter. Demographic data, biochemical tests, echocardiography findings were compared between the groups. P
