  "abstract": "Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and a leading preventable cause of ischaemic stroke, with rising prevalence and substantial healthcare burden worldwide. While cardiologists traditionally lead AF management, neurologists play a pivotal role given their expertise in diagnosing stroke, managing its secondary prevention and assessing the risk–benefit of anticoagulation. In this narrative review, we summarise recent advances in AF management and their implications for neurology practice, underscoring the importance of proactive and collaborative management to reduce the burden of AF-related stroke.",
