Approximately 10% of ischemic strokes are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) first
diagnosed at the time of stroke. Detecting asymptomatic AF would provide an opportunity to …

Objective We systematically assessed the evidence regarding the association between
noninvasive 24-h systolic blood pressure and incident cardiovascular events. Methods We …

Growing evidence suggests a consistent association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and
cognitive impairment and dementia that is independent of clinical stroke. This report from the …

Background Subclinical atrial fibrillation is short-lasting and asymptomatic and can usually
be detected only by long-term continuous monitoring with pacemakers or defibrillators …

Atrial fibrillation is a highly prevalent arrhythmia and a major risk factor for stroke, heart
failure and death. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in individuals of …
