Patients with cardiogenic embolic stroke also have higher mortality and recurrence rates than patients with other stroke subtypes. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for cerebral infarction (CI). The large‐scale study identified 32 loci in the MEGASTROKE study. However, few studies have...
