Interatrial block (IAB) is an ECG indicator of atrial fibrosis related to atrial remodeling and thrombus\nformation thus leading to embolic stroke and increasing mortality. We aimed to assess weather IAB predicted allcause\nmortality during 10 years after ischemic stroke.\nMethods: The study sample comprised 235 patients (median age 74 (interquartile range 25-75% 65â??81) years, 95\nfemale) included in the Lund Stroke Register in 2001-2002, who had sinus rhythm ECGs at stroke admission. IAB\nwas defined as a P-wave durationâ?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦..
