Background and Purpose: Management of cryptogenic stroke involves the identification of
modifiable risk factors, such as atrial fibrillation (AF). Extended rhythm monitoring increases …

Background Timely identification of occult atrial fibrillation following cryptogenic stroke
facilitates consideration of oral anticoagulation therapy. Extended electrocardiography …

Background: We assessed cost–effectiveness of insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) in a US
cryptogenic stroke population. Materials & methods: We modelled lifetime costs and quality …

Background and aims Documentation of atrial fibrillation is required to initiate oral
anticoagulation therapy for recurrent stroke prevention. Atrial fibrillation often goes …

Background and Purpose—Prolonged ambulatory ECG monitoring after cryptogenic stroke
improves detection of covert atrial fibrillation, but its long-term cost-effectiveness is uncertain …

Objective The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the various modalities available for
extended ECG monitoring in the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) following a cryptogenic …

Background Atrial fibrillation is a leading preventable cause of recurrent stroke for which
early detection and treatment are critical. However, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is often …

Abstract Purpose Approximately 10–40% of strokes are cryptogenic (CS). Long-term
electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring has been recommended in these patients to search …

Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and a major marker of
ischemic stroke risk. Early detection is crucial and, once diagnosed, anticoagulation therapy …

Background Recent studies have suggested that prolonged outpatient rhythm monitoring
results in increased detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with cryptogenic stroke …
