Atrial fibrillation as an independent risk factor for stroke: the Framingham Study.

Summary
The data suggest that the elderly are particularly vulnerable to stroke when atrial fibrillation is present, and the effects of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cardiac failure on the risk of stroke became progressively weaker with increasing age.
