In patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), underlying subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) is often suspected. Previous studies identifying predictors of AF have been limited in their ability to diagnose episodes of AF. Implantable loop recorders enable prolonged, continuous, and therefore more reliable detection of AF. The aim of this study was to identify clinical and ECG parameters as predictors of AF in ESUS patients with implantable loop recorders.
Kreimer et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
