Résumé
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke. It is essential to target patients at highest risk of AF detected after stroke (AFDAS), who should benefit from a prolonged rhythm screening strategy. Cardiac-CT angiography (CCTA) was added to the stroke protocol used in our institution in 2018. We sought to assess, for AFDAS, the predictive value of atrial cardiopathy markers by a CCTA performed on admission for acute ischemic stroke.
