Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and flutter affect more than 33 million people worldwide.1 The presence of chronic AF confers a 3-fold increased risk of stroke, and stroke in patients with AF is associated with a longer hospital stay, greater disability, and increased mortality compared with other types of ischemic stroke.2Keywords
