Background Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is a frequent cause of recurrent stroke but
can be difficult to detect because of its episodic and often asymptomatic nature. We sought …

Background: The use of cardiac monitoring to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) is routine after
ischaemic stroke but is often delayed leaving patients at risk from undetected AF. We sought …

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a major contributor to recurrent but
preventable ischemic Stroke (IS)/TIA. However, majority of stroke patients suffer from …

Background and Purpose—Multiple methods to detect paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) in
patients with acute stroke are available. However, it is unknown which approaches are …

Background and purpose Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is often asymptomatic and
increases the risk of ischaemic stroke. Detection of PAF is challenging but crucial because a …

Methods The trial assessed the detection of AF in standard practise compared with
additional monitoring in 100 patients with ischaemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) …

Background and purpose Prolonged electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring after ischaemic
stroke increases the diagnostic yield of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF). In order to …

Introduction: We compared the use of insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) versus non-ICM
methods of cardiac monitoring in ischemic stroke patients on the detection of atrial fibrillation …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is estimated to account for approximately every fifth
ischemic stroke. In routine clinical practice, detection of undiagnosed, clinically silent AF …

Background and Purpose Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) underlying acute stroke
frequently evades detection by standard practice, considered to be a combination of routine …
