Association of Heart Rate Variability With Silent Brain Infarcts in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Association of Heart Rate Variability With Silent Brain Infarcts in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Purpose: Silent brain infarcts (SBI) are frequently detected in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but it is unknown whether SBI are linked to autonomic dysfunction. We aimed to explore the association of autonomic dysfunction with SBI in AF patients.Methods: 1,358 AF patients without prior str...
