DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2018.03.024
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Early detection of atrial fibrillation after stroke is important for secondary prevention in stroke patients without known atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to compare the performance of CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc and HATCH scores… read more here.
