Description
João Miguel Oliveira and co-authors study strokes that strike despite blood thinners in a 2026 report. The patients have atrial fibrillation, a flutter of the heart that throws clots to the brain. Thinners cut that risk but do not end it. The team read records for 242 stroke patients with the flutter from 2023 to 2024. They asked how many took their thinners right and in full dose.
Sixty-four patients, about one in four, had their stroke on a sound thinner plan. Most had the long-term form of the flutter, and the median age was 82. Full cause hunts ran in about six of ten cases. In one in five, a second cause stood out, most often a stiff, narrowed brain or neck vessel. In one in six, a second heart cause showed. The authors see room for add-on care in cases where the flutter stands alone.
