Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-established risk factor for stroke. Interestingly, ischemic stroke increases risk ofincident AF in patients without prior diagnosed AF. For better risk stratification for post-stroke AF, we studied left atrial (LA)size and mechanical function using two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking imaging in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: A total of 227 patients (132 males, age 67 ± 12) with acute ischemic stroke without a history of AF underwent 2Dtransthoracic echocardiography and speckle tracking imaging for the assessment of LA volume index and global LA longitudinalstrain (LALS). From clinical variables, the CHA2DS2-VASc score and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) were calculatedin each patient. Post-stroke AF was defined as newly diagnosed AF during the course after ischemic stroke. Results: Post-stroke AF occurred in 25 patients (11%). Patients with post-stroke AF were older and showed a higher tendencyof CHA2DS2-VASc score, significantly higher log NIHSS, larger LA volume index and lower global LALS than those without. Inmultivariate analysis, global LALS was an independent predictor for post-stroke AF (hazard ratio 0.90, 95% confidence interval0.83–0.97, p < 0.01) after controlling for confounding factors. Furthermore, global LALS provided incremental predictive valuefor post-stroke AF over the CHA2DS2-VASc score, NIHSS, and LA volume index. The global LALS < 14.5% better distinguishedpost-stroke AF (area under the curve 0.837, sensitivity 60%, specificity 95%, p < 0.01) than CHA2DS2-VASc score. Conclusion: Global LALS as a marker of LA mechanical function has incremental predictive value for post-stroke AF in patientswith acute ischemic stroke.
