Abstract excerpt
Previous work has suggested that ischemic stroke (IS) may be more likely to occur in individuals with a genetic predisposition. In this study, we investigated the potential association of IS-relevant genetic risk factors with cardioembolic stroke (CES) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with low CHA2DS2-VaSc score. Genotyping was performed using the GenomeLab SNPstream genotyping platform for five IS-relevant...
