Stroke mechanism in patients with atrial fibrillation / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Atrial fibrillation is closely related to the onset of stroke.It was previously believed that atrial fibrillation caused blood stasis,which resulted in thrombosis and cerebral embolism.However,as the research progresses,the mechanism of thromboembolism is currently considered to be caused by a variety of factors,including atrial fibrillation,systemic factors,and atrial tissue matrix abnormalities.This article reviews the complex mechanisms of atrial fibrillation leading to stroke.
