- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of acute ischemic stroke and often necessitates anticoagulation, which may be interrupted during hospital stays.
- Researchers conducted a study using medical records to assess the impact of this anticoagulation interruption on the risk of ischemic stroke in hospitalized AF patients.
- The findings showed that interrupting anticoagulation for more than 48 hours did not significantly increase the incidence of strokes during hospitalization, suggesting that other factors like the CHADSVASc score are more influential in predicting stroke risk.
