Abstract:
Atrial fibrillation is a common type of arrhythmia. Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are a neuroimaging phenotype of cerebral small vessel disease, which is related to the tendency of intracranial hemorrhage. Studies have shown that the detection rate of CMBs in patients with atrial fibrillation is higher, and CMBs are also a risk factor for increasing the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and death in patients with atrial fibrillation complicated with stroke. This article reviews the predictive factors of CMBs in patients with atrial fibrillation.
