Ultra‐early continuous cardiac monitoring improves atrial fibrillation detection and prognosis of patients with cryptogenic stroke

Background and purpose Subclinical atrial fibrillation ( AF ) is known to underlie a number of cases of cryptogenic stroke (CrS). However, there is need to define the most effective strategy for AF detection. The diagnostic usefulness was analysed of a strategy based on ultra‐early continuous monitoring in patients with CrS in terms of AF detection, oral anticoagulation treatment and stroke recurrence, in comparison to a standard outpatient...
