Stepwise Screening for Silent Atrial Fibrillation After Stroke (SAFAS)

April 21, 2021 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon
The main hypothesis of this work is that an approach combining clinical parameters and biomarker assays could improve the understanding and prediction of the occurrence of silent atrial fibrillation (AF) in the acute phase after stroke. In this prospective work, the investigators will rely on the Dijon Stroke Registry, which collects extensive clinical data for each patient hospitalized for a stroke. As part of this registry, patients are seen 6 months after stroke to assess their clinical status. This clinical follow-up will allow us to judge the evolution of the AF diagnosed during the acute episode at a distance.
