Résumé
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and carotid stenosis (CS) can coexist and this association has been reported to result in a higher risk of stroke than attributed to either condition alone. Here we aimed to summarize the data on the association of CS and AF. MEDLINE and Embase were searched to identify all published studies providing relevant data through February 27, 2020. Random-effects meta-analysis method was used to pool estimates of prevalence. Heterogeneity was assessed by mean I-squared statistic. Forty-eight studies were included, 20 reporting on the prevalence of carotid disease in a pooled population of 49,070 AF patients, and 28 on the prevalence of AF in a total of 2,288,265 patients with carotid disease. The pooled prevalence of CS in AF patients was 12.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 8.7 to 16.0, I
