Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is an important risk factor for cardiogenic stroke and is
independently associated with stroke death. Mechanism of NVAF leading to cardiogenic stroke has not been
fully elucidated, and studies have shown that some biomarkers and risk scores can predict the occurrence and
development of NVAF related stroke. This article reviews the relevant risk factors for stroke in NVAF patients.
