摘要：

The prevalence of chronic atrial fibrillation increases with age.(1,2) Chronic atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor for new thromboembolic stroke in older persons.' 2 Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for new thromboembolic stroke in older persons.(3,4) This study reports the independent association of chronic atrial fibrillation and of echocardiographic LV hypertrophy with the incidence of new thromboembolic stroke at 44-month follow-up in a prospective study of 2,384 older persons.
