Circulating biomarkers and ischemic stroke risk in adults with atrial fibrillation taking anticoagulation: the Reasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke study

Anticoagulation reduces ischemic stroke risk in atrial fibrillation (AF), but “breakthrough” stroke occurs. Blood biomarkers might help identify patients at risk for this, but existing studies are lim...

Improving stroke risk prediction in atrial fibrillation with circulating biomarkers: the CHA2DS2-VASc–Biomarkers model

Anticoagulation reduces ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF) but increases bleeding. Existing risk calculators guiding anticoagulation decisions in AF have substantial limitations.
