Background And Purpose
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke and warfarin related anticoagula- tion has been recommended as an effective treatment for stroke prevention. We aimed to determine whether pre-stroke oral anticoagulation therapy would reduce initial stroke severity in AF patients with first-ever ischemic stroke.
