Implantable Loop Recorders for Cryptogenic Stroke (Plus Real-World Atrial Fibrillation Detection Rate with Implantable Loop Recorders)
Publication date: March 2018 Source:Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, Volume 10, Issue 1 Author(s): Dan L. Musat, Nicolle Milstein, Suneet MittalTeaser Cryptogenic stroke (CS) represents 10%–40% of ischemic strokes and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and high risk of recurrence. Undetected atrial fibrillation is an important consideration in these patients. Tools for electrocardiographic monitoring range from 12-lead electrocardiogram to implantable loop recorders (ILRs). ILRs have become an important tool for long-term electrocardiogram monitoring in CS patients. Advancements in ILR technology a...

Prevalence of atrial fibrillation and stroke risk assessment based on telemedicine screening tools in a primary healthcare setting.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights the importance of screening for AF in the primary care setting in Brazil and identifies important gaps in the treatment of AF in this population.

Detection of atrial fibrillation using an implantable loop recorder following cryptogenic stroke: implications for post-stroke electrocardiographic monitoring
ConclusionThe likelihood of AF detection by an ILR in the first month post-CS is low. Thus, the diagnostic yield of 30 days of AECG monitoring is likely to be limited. These data suggest a rationale for proceeding directly to ILR implantation prior to hospital discharge in CS patients, as many have AF detected during longer follow-up.

An unusual cause of stroke and sudden death: Intracavitary left ventricular echinococcosis
A 68-year old man with a history of hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease and an obliterating lower limbs arteritis, presented for a stroke. Electrocardiogram did not show atrial fibrillation nor ischemic electrocardiographic signs. White blood cell count (10800/m3) was high but eosinophil count (234/mm3) was normal. Atherosclerosis origin of the stroke was suspected.

Atrial fibrillation predictors in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source.
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate or severe atrial dilation, interatrial advanced block, and the presence of more than 1000 premature atrial beats on 24-hour Holter-ECG behave as AF predictors in patients with ESUS.

Relation of Atrial Fibrillation to Cognitive Decline (from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke REGARDS Study)
The association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with cognitive function remains unclear, especially among racially/geographically diverse populations. This analysis included 25,980 black and white adults, aged 48+, from the national REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) cohort, free from cognitive impairment and stroke at baseline. Baseline AF was identified by self-reported medical history or electrocardiogram (ECG). Cognitive testing was conducted yearly with the Six Item Screener (SIS) to define impairment and at 2-year intervals to assess decline on: animal naming and letter fluency, Montreal Co...

B-po02-045 utility of a smartphone connected electrocardiogram recorder for detecting atrial fibrillation in post-stroke patients
Atrial fibrillation is one of the important causes of ischemic stroke. Routine 24-hour monitoring reveals latent atrial fibrillation in up to about 5% of cases. Despite the fact that today there are many ways to record heart rate, there is no precise algorithm that allows to detect atrial fibrillation in patients who have survived ischemic stroke of unknown etiology.

Neurologist-Led Management of Implantable Loop-Recorders After Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
ConclusionWe observed similar predictors for Afib after ESUS, albeit with higher frequency than previously reported. This study suggests that the neurologist-led decision, management, and evaluation of ILR after ESUS is feasible.

Systematic Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients at Moderate-to-High Risk of Stroke - Potential to Increase the Atrial Fibrillation Detection Rate (SCAN-AF)
CONCLUSIONS: Sequential use of a BP monitor and handheld ECG for 4 weeks is a practical strategy for identifying undiagnosed AF in Japanese people at heightened risk of stroke.PMID:35125371 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-21-0813

Po-625-05 electrocardiographic deep terminal negative of the p wave in v1 and ischemic stroke:the atherosclerosis risk in communities (aric) study
Abnormal P-wave indices are associated with ischemic stroke independent of atrial fibrillation (AF). Deep terminal negative of the P wave in V1 (DTNPV1) is a simple ECG index that reflects underlying left atrial remodeling. However, it is unknown whether DTNPV1 is associated with ischemic stroke.

Po-05-136 in stroke patients, do baseline electrocardiogram findings correlate with diagnostic findings on long-term monitoring with implantable loop recorder?
In patients with cryptogenic stroke, long-term monitoring is standard-of-care to exclude atrial tachyarrhythmias. Prior studies have not examined interatrial block (IAB) and other ECG markers paired with long-term continuous monitoring (the current gold standard) to predict likelihood of atrial fibrillation (AF) detection in stroke patients.

Atrial Myopathy and Ischemic Stroke in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
We examined the hypothesis that atrial myopathy may be associated with ischemic stroke in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This is an exploratory, post hoc analysis of the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure with an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) trial. Patients with sinus rhythm documented at baseline electrocardiogram and without known AF were included in this analysis.
