Background: Stroke is an increasing health problem worldwide. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a
major risk factor for stroke, and the attention given to AF screening is rising, as new …

Background: As new heart rhythm monitoring technologies emerge, subclinical atrial
fibrillation (AF) signifies a future challenge to health care systems. The pathological …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the rate of stroke 5-fold, and AF-related strokes
have a poorer prognosis compared with non–AF-related strokes. Atrial fibrillation and stroke …

Background It is unknown whether screening for atrial fibrillation and subsequent treatment
with anticoagulants if atrial fibrillation is detected can prevent stroke. Continuous …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia diagnosed and treated in the
world. The treatment of patients' symptoms as well as the prevention of stroke and heart …

BACKGROUND: The ability of intermittent or symptom-based monitoring to accurately
identify patients with atrial tachycardia/atrial fibrillation (AT/AF) and to quantify AT/AF burden …

Importance In approximately 20% of atrial fibrillation (AF)–related ischemic strokes, stroke is
the first clinical manifestation of AF. Strategies are needed to identify and therapeutically …

Background Many atrial fibrillation patients eligible for oral anticoagulants are unaware of
the presence of AF, and improved detection is necessary to facilitate thromboprophylaxis …

Importance The relative rates of detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter from
evaluating patients with prolonged electrocardiographic monitoring with an external loop …

Objectives: The present study determined the incidence and time course of atrial fibrillation
(AF) recurrences in patients with a history of AF and fitted with an implantable monitoring …
