Clinical Analysis of Related Factors of Acute Stroke With Atrial Fibrillation atrial

Objective To explore the clinical features of fibrillation atrial in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease and propose some preventive measures. Methods Clinical data of 436 patients with acute cerebrovascular disease during December 2010 and November 2012 were retrospectively analyzed in order to learn the incidence rate,correlative factors of fibrillation atrial.Results There were 61 patients (14%) were diagnosed as having fibrillation atrial. 32 patients(52.5%) suffered fibrillation atrial in 24 hours after stroke, 18 patients(29.5%) suffered fibrillation atrial in 48 hours after stroke. The incidence of fibrillation atrial was independently associated with higher age and severer neurological deficits as measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale on admission. Conclusion The risk for fibrillation atrial after an acute cerebrovascular event is highest during the first 48 hours. Age and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale may be risk factors of the incidence of fibrillation atrial after stroke.
