Why the study?
Atrial standstill is a rare arrhythmia with few pediatric cases described, none presenting with imaging-confirmed cerebral infarction, and there are no established treatment guidelines.
Atrial standstill is a rare but important potential cause of cardiogenic cerebral embolism in children that should be considered during pediatric stroke evaluation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant consideration of atrial standstill in pediatric embolic stroke evaluation; leaves open questions on prevalence and screening.
Ahnfeldt et al. (2019) studied this question.
