P3770Interatrial block: a prognostic factor for atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke patients

Abstract: Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-known risk factor for ischemic stroke. Interatrial block (IAB), resulting from a conduction delay in Bachmann's bundle, is an electrical abnormality that, especially in its advanced (A-IAB) form, has been associated with atrial fibrotic cardiopathy and remodeling, sharing a common pathologic substrate with AF. Therefore, IAB has been proposed as a marker of atrial electromechanical dysfunction that may predispose to the development of AF. We hypot… Show more
