Elevated risk of perioperative ischemic stroke in noncardiac surgery patients with atrial fibrillation: a retrospective cohort study
Atrial fibrillation is an independent prognostic risk factor for perioperative ischemic stroke in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, especially pronounced in specific subgroups, including males, elderly patients, those with high ASA scores, with hypertension, and not receiving antiplatelet therapy. These findings emphasize the need for heightened awareness and prompt clinical intervention in these high-risk patients.
