We aimed to provide practical recommendations for the screening of subclinical atrial
fibrillation (AF) in patients with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) of …

Summary Globally, up to 1· 5 million individuals with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic
attack can be newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation per year. In the past decade, evidence …

BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) standard-of-care
etiological investigations include an ECG and prolonged cardiac monitoring (PCM). Atrial …

Introduction: Prolonged cardiac monitoring (PCM) substantially improves the detection of
subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) among patients with history of ischemic stroke (IS), leading …

Atrial fibrillation is a major cause of ischemic stroke. Technological advances now support
prolonged cardiac rhythm monitoring using either surface electrodes or insertable cardiac …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most frequent causes of stroke. Several
randomized trials have shown that prolonged monitoring increases the detection of AF, but …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) detection and treatment are key elements to reduce
recurrence risk in cryptogenic stroke (CS) with underlying arrhythmia. The purpose of the …

The clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke (IS) and
atrial fibrillation detected after stroke (AFDAS) have not been clearly established. Previous …

Introduction: Secondary stroke prevention depends on proper identification of the underlying
etiology and initiation of optimal treatment after the index event. The aim of the NOR-FIB …

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is frequently identified in young patients with cryptogenic
ischaemic stroke. Potential stroke mechanisms include paradoxical embolism from a venous …
