Po-693-03 atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke: a real-world study with insertable cardiac monitor

Patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS) undergo insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) screen for occult atrial fibrillation (AF) as a possible ischemic stroke etiology. Continuous monitoring with ICM was shown to be superior to intermittent cardiac monitoring in the detection of AF in the CRYSTAL-AF Trial. However, there is limited real-world data about the rate of AF detection using ICM in patients with cryptogenic stroke.
