Atrial fibrillation in young stroke patients: Associated factors and outcomes in a nationwide analysis
In young IS patients, AF is associated with more in-hospital complications and disabling strokes. These findings emphasize the need to recognize AF in this demographic group, especially in patients with risk factors like hyperthyroidism and cardiomyopathies. Clinicians should assess these risk factors to ensure timely diagnosis and management of AF.
