ECG predictors of AF: A systematic review (predicting AF in ischaemic stroke-PrAFIS).
Clin Neurol Neurosurg
February 2024
Article Synopsis
- About 25% of patients with embolic stroke have an unknown cause, but atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common mechanism, especially in older individuals.
- A systematic review of studies was conducted to identify ECG patterns that can predict AF in patients already in sinus rhythm.
- The findings revealed multiple ECG abnormalities linked to increased AF risk, and clinical factors like age and chronic diseases can enhance predictive accuracy, potentially aiding in better patient management and treatment.
Background: Social media advertising by fast food companies continues to increase globally, and exposure to food advertising contributes to poor diet and negative health outcomes (eg, cardiovascular disease). McDonald's-the largest fast food company in the world-operates in 101 countries, but little is known about their marketing techniques in various regions. The objective of this study was to compare the social media advertising practices of McDonald's-the largest fast food company in the world-in 15 high-income, upper-middle-income and lower-middle-income countries.
