    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The present study aimed to clarify the association between left atrial (LA) size and ischemic events after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Acute ischemic stroke or TIA patients with NVAF were enrolled. LA size was classified into normal LA size, mild LA enlargement (LAE), moderate LAE, and severe LAE. The ischemic event was defined as ischemic stroke, TIA, carotid endarterectomy, carotid artery stenting, acute coronary syndrome or percutaneous coronary intervention, systemic embolism, aortic aneurysm rupture or dissection, peripheral artery disease requiring hospitalization, or venous thromboembolism. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 A total of 1,043 patients (mean age, 78 years; 450 women) including 1,002 ischemic stroke and 41 TIA were analyzed. Of these, 351 patients (34%) had normal LA size, 298 (29%) had mild LAE, 198 (19%) had moderate LAE, and the remaining 196 (19%) had severe LAE. The median follow-up duration was 2.0 years (interquartile range, 0.9–2.1). During follow-up, 117 patients (11%) developed at least one ischemic event. The incidence rate of total ischemic events increased with increasing LA size. Severe LAE was independently associated with increased risk of ischemic events compared with normal LA size (multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio, 1.75; 95% confidence interval, 1.02–3.00). 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Severe LAE was associated with increased risk of ischemic events after ischemic stroke or TIA in patients with NVAF.

    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 We aimed to clarify associations between pre-admission risk scores (CHADS 〈 sub 〉 2 〈 /sub 〉 , CHA 〈 sub 〉 2 〈 /sub 〉 DS 〈 sub 〉 2 〈 /sub 〉 -VASc, and HAS-BLED) and 2-year clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) using a prospective, multicenter, observational registry. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 From 18 Japanese stroke centers, ischemic stroke or TIA patients with NVAF hospitalized within 7 days after onset were enrolled. Outcome measures were defined as death/disability (modified Rankin Scale score ≥3) at 2 years, 2-year mortality, and ischemic or hemorrhagic events within 2 years. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 A total of 1,192 patients with NVAF (527 women; mean age, 78 ± 10 years), including 1,141 ischemic stroke and 51 TIA, were analyzed. Rates of death/disability, mortality, and ischemic or hemorrhagic events increased significantly with increasing pre-admission CHADS 〈 sub 〉 2 〈 /sub 〉 ( 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 for trend & #x3c;0.001 for death/disability and mortality, 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 for trend = 0.024 for events), CHA 〈 sub 〉 2 〈 /sub 〉 DS 〈 sub 〉 2 〈 /sub 〉 -VASc ( 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 for trend  & #x3c;0.001 for all), and HAS-BLED ( 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 for trend = 0.004 for death/disability, 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 for trend & #x3c;0.001 for mortality, 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 for trend = 0.024 for events) scores. Pre-admission CHADS 〈 sub 〉 2 〈 /sub 〉 (OR per 1 point, 1.52; 95% CI 1.35–1.71; 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 & #x3c;0.001 for death/disability; hazard ratio (HR) per 1 point, 1.23; 95% CI 1.12–1.35; 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 & #x3c;0.001 for mortality; HR per 1 point, 1.14; 95% CI 1.02–1.26; 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 = 0.016 for events), CHA 〈 sub 〉 2 〈 /sub 〉 DS 〈 sub 〉 2 〈 /sub 〉 -VASc (1.55, 1.41–1.72, 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 & #x3c; 0.001; 1.21, 1.12–1.30, 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 & #x3c; 0.001; 1.17, 1.07–1.27, 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 & #x3c; 0.001; respectively), and HAS-BLED (1.33, 1.17–1.52, 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 & #x3c; 0.001; 1.23, 1.10–1.38, 〈 i 〉 p  〈 /i 〉 & #x3c; 0.001; 1.18, 1.05–1.34, 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 = 0.008; respectively) scores were independently associated with all outcome measures. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusions: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 In ischemic stroke or TIA patients with NVAF, all pre-admission risk scores were independently associated with death/disability at 2 years and 2-year mortality, as well as ischemic or hemorrhagic events within 2 years.
