Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of patients with AF admitted with acute cerebrovascular stroke at Assuit University.
Time Frame: 1 year
study the Percentage of patients with AF admitted with acute cerebrovascular stroke at Assuit University whatever those patients have manifest atrial fibrillation or go into attacks of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation by the use of echocardiography for measurement of left atrial diameter and size and also by the use of Holter to identify any any attacks of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Secondary Outcomes
- The role of anti coagulants in decreasing risk of ischemic cerebrovascular stroke in patients who are known to have Atrial Fibrillation and have been already anticoagulated(1 year)
- correlation between AF and severity of stroke at admission and discharge.(1 year)
