Atrial fibrillation detected with outpatient cardiac rhythm monitoring in patients with ischemic stroke or TIA of undetermined cause

However, the optimal monitoring duration is unknown. We aimed to determine the AF detection rate during 7-day outpatient cardiac rhythm monitoring in this patient group.
