Diagnostic Yield of Prolonged Cardiac Rhythm Monitoring in Cryptogenic Stroke (I2-1.003)
CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates the diagnostic yield of cardiac rhythm monitoring of up to 30 days is significantly lower than previously reported. This may be secondary to differences in monitoring devices used, the variability in definition of cryptogenic stroke, and duration of monitoring. Alternatively, longer duration of monitoring with implantable devices may be needed to detect paroxysmal AF, particularly in those with clinical, electrocardiographic or echocardiographic features associated with this dysrhythmia.Disclosure: Dr. Kalani has nothing to disclose. Dr. Bernstein has received personal compensation for a...

Atrial Fibrillation and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Detection in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: AF/PAF was one of the common causes of ischemic stroke in Thai patients. Most PAF was detected by continuous ECG monitoring. Snapshot 12-lead ECG and continuous ECG monitoring should be recommended in all patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Atrial Fibrillation Detected after Acute Ischemic Stroke: Evidence Supporting the Neurogenic Hypothesis
Background: It is unknown whether atrial fibrillation (AF) detected after acute ischemic stroke is caused by neurogenic or cardiogenic mechanisms. Based on the potential damage to the autonomic nervous system, neurogenic mechanisms could be implicated in the pathophysiology of newly diagnosed AF. To test this hypothesis, we developed a mechanistic approach by comparing a prespecified set of indicators in acute ischemic stroke patients with newly diagnosed AF, known AF, and sinus rhythm.Methods: We prospectively assessed every acute ischemic stroke patient undergoing continuous electrocardiographic monitoring from 2008 thro...

Electrocardiographic Monitoring for Detecting Atrial Fibrillation After Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Original Articles
Conclusions— Longer duration of electrocardiographic monitoring after cryptogenic stroke is associated with a greater detection of AF. Future investigation is needed to determine the optimal duration of long-term monitoring.

Certification criteria for stroke units in Germany : Update 2018.
This article describes the revised criteria for certified stroke units (SU) in Germany that will apply from 1 October 2018. Due to the high level of quality only minor adjustments and specifications were necessary in many places and the majority of criteria remained unchanged. For the first time a uniform personnel quota of ≥1.75 full-time staff per monitor bed is defined, which is a better reflection of the treatment reality. The evidence-based process of acute vascular imaging using computed tomography angiography (CTA) and alternatively magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is now defined as a minimum rate of≥20 % ...

Burden of Premature Atrial Complexes and Risk of Recurrent Stroke and Death in Patients with Mild to Moderate Ischemic Stroke
Premature atrial complexes (PACs) meet increased attention as a potential intermediary between sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with even high numbers of PACs do not fulfill current guidelines for oral anticoagulation treatment though an associated stroke risk is suspected. Objective: We aimed to determine whether a high number of PACs or runs of AF less than 30 seconds in 2-day continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) recording was associated with risk of recurrent ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) or death in a large cohort of patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA and no prior AF.

Automated Continuous Electrocardiogram Monitoring Accelerates the Detection of Atrial Fibrillation after Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack on a Hyper Acute Stroke Unit
Background and Aim: Rapid and sensitive detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) is of paramount importance for initiation of adequate preventive therapy after stroke. Stroke Unit care includes continuous electrocardiogram monitoring (CEM) but the optimal exploitation of the recorded ECG traces is controversial. In this retrospective single-center study, we investigated whether an automated analysis of continuous electrocardiogram monitoring (ACEM), based on a software algorithm, accelerates the detection of AF in patients admitted to our Stroke Unit compared to the routine CEM.

Supraventricular Extrasystoles on Standard 12-lead Electrocardiogram Predict New Incident Atrial Fibrillation after Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source: The AF-ESUS Study
Background: The diagnosis of covert atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a major challenge to guide secondary prevention of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). Aims: We analyzed consecutive ESUS patients from 3 prospective stroke registries to assess whether the presence of supraventricular extrasystoles (SVE) on standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is associated with the detection of AF (primary outcome), stroke recurrence and death (secondary outcomes) during follow-up.

Detection and Predictors of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Acute Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack Patients in Singapore
Detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) is important for optimal secondary stroke prevention. Data are limited from Asia regarding inpatient occurrence and predictors of pAF to optimize electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring despite it having nearly two thirds of the world's population and different subtypes of stroke from the West.

Association between electrocardiographic and echocardiographic atrial abnormalities and prognosis in cryptogenic stroke
The role of atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke (CS) is well known. However, the usefulness of left atrial (LA) electrical and morphological abnormalities to identify more disabling strokes in sinus rhythm patients is less studied. We evaluated the association between electrocardiographic P-wave abnormalities and echocardiographic LA measures with neurological disability in patients with cryptogenic stroke.

Prognostic Significance of Fragmented QRS in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries1 and has a strong relationship with cardiovascular system disorders.2 Due to this relationship, the connection between brain and heart has become increasingly important and neurocardiology has emerged as a popular concept over the recent years.3 Electrocardiographic abnormalities and various cardiac arrhythmias occurring especially after stroke support this phenomenon.4 ST segment and/or T-wave abnormalities without myocardial ischemia,5 left axis deviation, QT prolongation,6 QT dispersion,7 atrial fibrillation (AF), sinus tachycardia, ventricular ...

Abstract 10: Contraindications to Oral Anticoagulation in the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (ORBIT-AF) Concurrent I Session B: Oral Abstract Presentations on Stroke Topics
Conclusions. Contraindications to OAC therapy among AF patients are common and often due to high bleeding risk. Furthermore, many patients with reported contraindications are taking warfarin, suggesting that many contraindications to warfarin therapy are minor, relative, or temporary.
