Septal total atrial conduction time for prediction of atrial fibrillation in embolic stroke of unknown source: a pilot study

ConclusionssPA-TDI seems to be a strong independent predictor of subclinical AF in patients hospitalized for ESUS and might support risk-stratified clinical decision making in these patients.Graphic abstractSeptal Total Atrial Conduction Time (sPA-TDI) determined by echocardiography for prediction of Atrial Fibrillation in Embolic Stroke of Unknown Source (ESUS).
