Resumen
La fibrilación auricular (FA) es la arritmia cardíaca más frecuente y responsable de un porcentaje importante de ictus isquémicos; como tal tiene su impacto en la gravedad del ictus y en la morbimortalidad de éste. Su importancia como factor etiológico del ictus aumenta con la edad, y además estamos asistiendo a un aumento de su detección en las últimas décadas. La presencia de FA condiciona una mayor intensidad del déficit neurológico inicial, una estancia hospitalaria más prolongada y una peor evolución funcional con mayor discapacidad y menor probabilidad de poder volver al domicilio habitual; además, es un factor de riesgo independiente de mortalidad, especialmente en mujeres y en población de edad avanzada. Todo esto conlleva que los pacientes con ictus con FA presenten un mayor impacto socioeconómico.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent heart arrhythmia and causes a substantial proportion of ischemic strokes. AF has a marked impact on stroke severity, as well as on morbidity and mortality in these patients. The importance of AF as an etiologic factor of stroke increases in the elderly and in the last few years its detection has increased. The presence of AF leads to more severe initial neurological involvement, longer hospitalization, greater disability and a lower probability of discharge to home. In addition, AF is an independent risk factor for mortality, especially in women and the elderly. All these factors lead to a higher social and economic impact among stroke patients with AF.
