Embolic complications in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Abstract
The incidence of embolic complications among 426 patients with initial paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) was analysed. A distinct clustering of emboli was seen at the time of onset of PAF. After transition to chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF), which developed in 141 patients (33.1%), the incidence of emboli was seen to rise to a new level several times higher than the incidence level for patients with PAF. Also in this group a distinct clustering of emboli was seen during the first year after transition to CAF. On this background it is suggested that patients with PAF may benefit from treatment with anti-arrhythmic agents in order to prevent the development of CAF and that anticoagulants for stroke prevention seems especially desirable in atrial fibrillation (AF) of recent onset.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
