N2 - In the present prospective study, 281 of 1,846 older persons (15%) had 40% to 100% ECAD and 253 of 1,846 older persons had chronic atrial fibrillation. The Cox regression model showed that significant independent risk factors for new TE stroke were atrial fibrillation (p = 0.0001, risk ratio 3.3), 40% to 100% ECAD (p = 0.0001, risk ratio 2.5), prior stroke (p = 0.0001, risk ratio 2.1), and male gender (p = 0.045, risk ratio 1.2).
