Atrial fibrillation in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source during 3 years of prolonged monitoring with an implantable loop recorder.
CONCLUSIONS: In ESUS patients, early implantation of an ILR with cardiac monitoring and remote transmission over a 3-year period detects AF in 41.4 % and results in oral anticoagulation in 82% of these patients. PMID: 33401327 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Detection of atrial fibrillation in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source by prolonged monitoring with implantable loop recorders.
In conclusion, AF can be documented in approximately 25 % of patients with the diagnosis of ESUS after careful work-up within a year of monitoring by an ILR and daily remote interrogation. This had important therapeutic consequences (initiation of anticoagulation for secondary stroke prevention) in these patients. PMID: 28862284 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
