Key result
Although systematic pulse checking in rehabilitation hospitals did not detect new cases of atrial fibrillation, it proved feasible and successfully increased awareness of screening among therapists.
Why the study?
Does systematic pulse checking improve atrial fibrillation detection in patients with non-cardioembolic stroke in rehabilitation hospitals?
Does systematic pulse checking improve atrial fibrillation detection in patients with non-cardioembolic stroke in rehabilitation hospitals?
Despite failing to detect new cases of atrial fibrillation, implementing regular pulse checks in stroke rehabilitation settings is a feasible strategy to educate staff and increase awareness of long-term arrhythmia surveillance.

A 2026 study conducted a letter in Atrial fibrillation and non-cardioembolic stroke. Systematic pulse checking was evaluated on Atrial fibrillation detection. Although systematic pulse checking in rehabilitation hospitals did not detect new cases of atrial fibrillation, it proved feasible and successfully increased awareness of screening among therapists.
