Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Whether prothrombotic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) impact stroke risk in AF is not well known. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the joint effects of 5 prothrombotic SNPs and AF on ischemic stroke risk. METHODS: A subcohort (n = 14 583) was randomly sampled from the Tromsø (1994-2012) and the Trøndelag Health (1995-2008) studies....
