Detection of occult paroxysmal atrial fibrilation by implantable long-term electrocardiographic monitoring in cryptogenic stroke and transient ischemic attack population: a study protocol for prospective matched cohort study
BACKGROUND Cardio-embolic etiology is the most frequently predicted cause of cryptogenic stroke/TIA. Detection of occult paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is crucial for selection of appropriate medication. METHODS Enrolment of eligible cryptogenic stroke and TIA patients began in 2014 and will continue until 2018. The patients undergo long-term (12 months) ECG monitoring (implantable loop recor...
متن کاملReal-World Experience with Insertable Cardiac Monitors to Find Atrial Fibrillation in Cryptogenic Stroke.
BACKGROUND The characteristics of atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes in cryptogenic stroke patients have recently been explored in carefully selected patient populations. However, the incidence of AF among a large, real-world population of patients with an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) placed for the detection of AF following a cryptogenic stroke has not been investigated. METHODS Patients ...
متن کاملIschaemic stroke of undetermined cause
www.thelancet.com/neurology Vol 14 September 2015 871 The defi nition of cryptogenic stroke or stroke of undetermined origin is aff ected by the current knowledge of the cause and pathogenesis of stroke and by the availability, comprehensiveness, quality, and timeliness of the ancillary investigations undertaken to discover the cause of the stroke. In The Lancet Neurology, Linxin Li and colleag...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke: look harder, look longer, but just keep looking.
D espite atrial fibrillation (AF) being the most common cardiac arrhythmia, its asymptomatic (and sometimes, paroxysmal) nature makes subsequent detection and diagnosis challenging. Ischemic stroke as a result of AF is usually more severe and results in greater functional loss, and patients with undetected AF will undoubtedly by at greater risk of recurrent stroke. The failure to diagnose AF af...
متن کاملLong-term Arrhythmia Monitoring in Cryptogenic Stroke: Who, How, and for How Long?
Cryptogenic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) account for approximately one-third of stroke patients [1]. Paroxys-mal atrial fibrillation (PAF) has been suggested as a major etiology of these cryptogenic strokes [2, 3]. PAF can be difficult to diagnose because it is intermittent, often brief, and asymptomatic. PAF might be more prevalent than persistent atrial fibrillation in stroke an...
