Obstructive HCM, hypertension and ischemic heart disease was associated with increased risk of AF. Prevalent AF alone was not predictive of stroke, however AF patients treated with OAC were significantly less likely to develop stroke, suggesting that this development is driven by the protective effect of OAC. Despite this, 34% of patients did not receive OAC.
