Why the study?
Screening for AF is often time-consuming in clinical practice, motivating the evaluation of prolonged Holter monitoring and markers like excessive supraventricular activity to detect AF in cryptogenic ischaemic stroke.
Does prolonged 14-day event Holter monitoring and excessive supraventricular activity predict atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic ischaemic stroke?
Does prolonged 14-day event Holter monitoring and excessive supraventricular activity predict atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic ischaemic stroke?
Prolonged 14-day Holter monitoring and frequent supraventricular ectopic activity are effective in detecting and predicting atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic ischaemic stroke.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Early inpatient Holter monitoring was associated with higher AF detection in ESUS (20% vs 5%); supports prompt assessment yet leaves open randomized outcome trials.
