Abstract:
As an important cause of ischemic stroke, atrial fibrillation is closely associated with left atrial abnormality. However, the relationship between left atrium, left atrial appendage and ischemic stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is still controversial. This review focuses on the relationship between the size, shape and function of the left atrium and left atrial appendage and the occurrence, classification, severity and prognosis of ischemic stroke in patients with ischemic stroke accompanied by atrial fibrillation, in order to better recognize and prevent atrial fibrillation-related stroke and evaluate the prognosis of atrial fibrillation-related stroke in clinical practice.
