C-reactive protein elevation and subsequent atrial fibrillation detection after ischemic stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy: An inverse probability weighting analysis
Our findings suggest CRP is associated with post-stroke AF in stroke patients due to LVO, highlighting inflammation's role in AF pathogenesis. Measuring CRP at admission and 24 h may enable early detection and timely anticoagulation. Incorporating CRP into clinical pathways could improve individualized risk assessment, warranting further studies to validate its predictive utility and explore additional markers.
