Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]
, 2017 Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

Putting cryptogenic stroke into perspective
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2016 Key Points In patients who have a cryptogenic stroke and have their PFO closed, the recurrence rate of “cerebral ischemia” is much greater in patients who are older than 55 years. Most of these recurrent events (2 strokes and 4TIAs) in the older age group were due to identifiable causes.
