Association Between Atrial Fibrillation and Cognitive Impairment in Individuals With Prior #Stroke: A Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression Analysis Damianos Kokkinidis ow.ly/18SQ50zmJc3



Happy to introduce the official Twitter account of the "Brain&Heart Task Force" of the World Stroke Organisation! World Stroke Org #stroke #heart #neurocardiology #cardioneurology

Our group members are Luciano Sposato 🇦🇷🇨🇦, Santosh Murthy, 謝鎮陽 (Cheng-Yang Hsieh), Jan Scheitz 🧠⚡️❤️, Sara Aspberg, Max J. Hilz, Mary Sheppard & Cecilia M Bahit.

A new analysis of 898 medically-treated patients with patent foramen ovale- associated #stroke shows that atrial septal aneurysm is a more important predictor of stroke recurrence than shunt size. bit.ly/2zbeZ5k #JACC Club Neurovasculaire d'Ile-de-France


Left atrial cardiopathy increases stroke risk independent of prior or incident atrial fibrillation and improves risk prediction ow.ly/yZc230qKpp4 Brainheartnexus Heart Institute ICES PHRI.ca Population Health Research Institute 🇨🇦 Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre


Due to the COVID-19 situation, ESO and World Stroke Org have decided #ESOWSO2020 to go virtual. We will continue to meet the needs of our community and ensure continuous education and professional support. Thank you for understanding! Full announcement - bit.ly/2VdZTEo


Data from the WATCH-AF registry suggest that 14% of patients with AF-related stroke are candidates for left atrial appendage closure. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST… #stroke Stroke AHA/ASA

#ESUS patients with elevated hs-cardiac #troponin T do not seem to benefit more from rivaroxaban than aspirin for secondary prevention, but had higher rates of recurrent vascular events, data from Navigate-ESUS biomarker substudy suggests. Stroke AHA/ASA ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…

Among patients with AF-related acute ischemic stroke, starting on oral anticoagulants within a median time of 7-8 days after days after #stroke appears safe, even in patients receiving acute reperfusion therapies. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST… Stroke AHA/ASA

Thrilled to see that the 2020 ESC AF Guidelines are the 1st ones to acknowledge the “𝗔𝗙𝗗𝗔𝗦 concept” we described years ago. They cite several of our papers from Western University Heart & Brain Lab about 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗙 #ESCCongress #EHRA_ESC #AFGuidelines #cardiotwitter
