Insertable cardiac monitoring increased atrial fibrillation detection and enabled safe anticoagulation in women with acute cryptogenic stroke, with signals of lower mortality and major bleeding.
Does Insertable Cardiac Monitoring improve AF detection and clinical outcomes in women with acute cryptogenic stroke?
In women with acute cryptogenic stroke, insertable cardiac monitoring increases atrial fibrillation detection and may lower mortality despite no significant difference in stroke recurrence.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
ICM increased AF detection and enabled safe anticoagulation in women with acute cryptogenic stroke. Although stroke recurrence did not differ significantly, signals of lower mortality and major bleeding support prolonged monitoring to optimise secondary prevention.
