Temporal Trends of Ischemic Stroke Risk in Patients With Incident Atrial Fibrillation Before Anticoagulation
The initial IS risk in AF patients, before the initiation of OAC therapy, has decreased by 25% between 2007 and 2018 despite an increase in both age and stroke risk scores. The decrease has been most pronounced in older women with high stroke risk scores.
