%X It was aimed to investigate the cerebral vascular territories in stroke patients with NVAF as an etiologic factor. A total of 208 patients who were referred to our hospital between January 2015 and September 2016, who were over 55 years of age, identified or documented as having a standard ECG or Holter ECG record on their medical history, and diagnosed with stroke were included. Our study was designed as a retrospective analysis of prospective data. Detailed history, physical examination and electrocardiography (ECG) evaluations of the patients were performed. Descriptive statistics were used in the detection of findings, and t-test, Pearson¡¯s chi-square and Fisher's exact test were used for differences analysis. 53.8% (n=112) of the patients were male and 46.2% (n=96) were female. The mean age was 73.5. MCA was the most common site of vascular involvement in NVAF-dependent strokes. SCA and PCA followed MCA. Approximately 64% of the NVAF-related strokes were anterior circulation infarction (ACI) and 22% were posterior circulation infarct (PCI). There was a significant difference in age and past stroke history factors in favor of ASE (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between ACI and PCI in hypertension, cardiac history and diabetus mellitus factors (p > 0.05). It was emphasized that the area of the vessel that underwent ischemia in the acutely displayed infarcts and the etiological factor for this vessel area could be predicted
