Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and a major risk factor for stroke. In patients at high risk of stroke, even a single documented AF episode prompts evaluation for anticoagulation therapy. Conventional ECG methods are poorly suited for prolonged rhythm monitoring, whereas wearable...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and previous intracranial bleeding are at high risk of ischemic and bleeding events, and the benefits and risks of oral anticoagulation (OAC) remain uncertain. We investigated competing risks of recurrent intracranial bleeding, ischemic stroke (IS), and d...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Previous literature has suggested that the risk of ischaemic stroke (IS) is lower in patients with atrial flutter (AFL) compared with patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but large-scale studies with electrocardiogram (ECG) documentation are not available.
METHODS
The registry-linkage Finnish A...
