摘要

Background:Subclinical paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the main occult causative mechanisms of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). Aim of this study was to identify AF predictors, and to develop a score to predict the probability of AF detection in ESUS. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed ESUS patients undergoing 2-week external electrocardiographic monitoring. Patients with and without AF detection were compared. On the basis of multivariate analysis, predictors of AF were identified and used to develop a predictive score, which was then compared with other existing literature scores. Results:Eighty-two patients, 48 females, mean age +/- SD 72 +/- 10 years, were included. In 36 patients (43.9%) AF was detected. The frequency of age 75 years or above and arterial hypertension, and the median CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score were significantly higher in patients with AF compared with those without. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score >= 8 was the only independent variable associated with AF detection. We derived the Empoli ESUS-AF (E(2)AF) score (NIHSS >= 8 5 points, arterial hypertension 3 points, age 75 years or above 2 points, age 65 to 74 years 1 point, history of coronary/peripheral artery disease 1 point, left atrial enlargement 1 point, posterior lesion 1 point, cortical or cortical-subcortical lesion 1 point), whose predictive power in detecting AF was good (area under the curve: 0.746, 95% confidence interval: 0.638-0.836) and higher than that of CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc and other scores. Conclusions:In our study NIHSS score >= 8 was the only independent predictor of post-ESUS-AF detection. The E(2)AF score appears to have a good predictive power for detecting AF. External validations are required.
