Abstract
This study aims to describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients presenting with ischemic stroke associated with atrial fibrillation at Ibn Rochd University Hospital. We studied 60 patients admitted to the emergency department with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke and confirmed atrial fibrillation. All patients had confirmed cerebral infarction through brain imaging, primarily located in the middle cerebral artery territory (60%). The observed comorbidity and mortality rates (25%) align with other studies, although the rate of administered thrombolysis (16.7%) remains lower than some international standards due to delays in arrival at the emergency department. These results underscore the importance of prevention, early recognition of symptoms, and optimization of therapeutic strategies to reduce mortality and complications associated with ischemic stroke in Morocco.
