Stroke Severity in Atrial Fibrillation:The Framingham Study
Stroke 27:1760-1764, Lin,H.J.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Ischemic stroke associated with AF was nearly twice as likely to be fatal as non-AF stroke.Recurrence was more frequent,and functional deficits were more likely to be severe among survivors.Since stroke is usually the initial manifestation of embolism in AF,prevention is critical to reducing disability and mortality.
