The association between frequent premature atrial contractions and recurrent stroke in a population of ischemic stroke

Abstract: Objective: Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are a prevalent cardiac occurrence. Recent research indicates that PACs are linked to atrial fibrillation (AF), ischemic stroke, and mortality. We aimed to investigate the association of PACs and the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with ischemic stroke in sinus rhythm. Methods: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study. 24-hour standard three-lead Holter ECG monitoring was performed for seven days and analyzed. Patients were separated into two… Show more

“…The resulting irregularity causes cardiac adverse events. Ischemic stroke, cardiac failure, and death are unavoidable after the onset of atrial fibrillation [ 2 , 3 ]. Conversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm with cardioversion is a cornerstone of the management of acute-onset AF [ 4 ].…”
