In a study of more than 250,000 adults who underwent noncardiac surgery, we found that new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs at a predictable rate and is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Postoperative oral anticoagulation eliminated the POAF-attributable risk of stroke during the first year after surgery.

降低新发心房颤动引起的术后缺血性卒中的风险


在一项对超过 250,000 名接受非心脏手术的成年人的研究中，我们发现新发术后心房颤动 （POAF） 的发生率是可预测的，并且与缺血性中风的风险增加有关。术后口服抗凝药消除了术后第一年因 POAF 引起的卒中风险。
