Ninety-two percent (24/26) of subjects presenting with newly discovered AF at the time of acute stroke continued to have this rhythm disturbance in a chronic or paroxysmal form. In only 2 subjects (8%) was the arrhythmia short-lived and nonrecurrent. These follow-up data suggest that in most instances AF was probably the precipitant rather than the consequence of stroke.
