Abstract

Abstract:

Atrial fibrillation detected after stroke （AFDAS） refers to a specific type of atrial fibrillation （AF） detected after an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, characterized predominantly by asymptomatic episodes and short durations. It possesses unique clinical and prognostic features. Despite its significance, the exact mechanisms underlying its development remain unclear. Early diagnosis is crucial for determining appropriate secondary prevention strategies and improving outcomes. This paper reviews recent studies on AFDAS, comprehensively summarizes the current research progress, discusses its clinical significance, and provide reference for future research directions.

Key words: Atrial fibrillation detected after stroke, Ischemic stroke, Atrial fibrillation, Aecondary prevention, Risk scoring
