Microembolic signal detection in patients with atrial fibrillation treated with oral anticoagulant

Microembolic signal detection in patients with atrial fibrillation treated with oral anticoagulant

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-known risk factor for embolic stroke. The incidence of stroke in patients with AF is 4.5% per year. In 93% of cases, strokes in patients with AF are of embolic origin. Trans Cranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring of silent micro-embolic signals (MES) can repr...
