Approximately one-third of acute IS in AF have a distinctive mechanism from cardioembolism. Although APT was frequently prescribed in poststroke patients with AF, no additive clinical benefit was observed. Adherence to OAC treatment is essential to prevent further cardiovascular adverse events in patients with AF and IS.
