We applied the analytic methodology described by Lima et
published in Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Interna to a sample of 211 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation admitted due to acute ischemic stroke or transient cerebral ischemia. We report 146 patients (69,2%) eligible that weremnot anticoagulated. These patients presented a higher comorbidity index than those anticoagulated. We consider that future studies could include this analysis.
