|
Objectives: Atrial fibrillation is the most common cause of cardioembolic stroke. Of the 44 ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation who were hospitalized in hospital of Korean Medicine from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2017, we selected 39 patients who have had Magnetic Resonance Angiography. We divided them into Atrial Fibrillation group with no stenosis or less than 50% stenosis in the ipsilateral artery of the lesion and Artery to Artery Embolism group with more than 50% stenosis or occlusion in the ipsilateral artery of the lesion.
Methods: Clinical characteristics, examination and evaluation tools were collected from the patient's electronic medical records. CHADS2, Initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, 8-item Stroke Scale and Improved 8-item Stroke Scale Number were checked.
Results & Conclusion : Atrial Fibrillation group showed differences in age, brain lesion location, vascular lesion, initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, initial 8-item Stroke Scale and progress compared to Artery to Artery Embolism group.
