Incidence of atrial fibrillation detected by implantable loop recorders in unexplained stroke

In patients with unexplained stroke, AF was detected by ILR in 25.5%. Predictors of AF were identified, which may help to target investigations. ILRs may have a central role in the future in the investigation of patients with unexplained stroke.
