AIM The “2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial
Fibrillation” provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the treatment of patients with …

We aimed to provide practical recommendations for the screening of subclinical atrial
fibrillation (AF) in patients with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) of …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be newly detected in approximately one-fourth of patients with
ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack without previously recognized AF. We present …

Ischaemic strokes have traditionally been classified according to the TOAST criteria, in
which strokes with unclear aetiology are classified as cryptogenic strokes. However, the …

Background Rivaroxaban and dabigatran were not superior to aspirin in trials of patients
with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). It is unknown whether apixaban is …

Background and Objectives Prolonged poststroke cardiac rhythm monitoring (PCM) reveals
a substantial proportion of patients with ischemic stroke (IS) with atrial fibrillation (AF) not …

Summary Globally, up to 1· 5 million individuals with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic
attack can be newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation per year. In the past decade, evidence …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia affecting 8–10% of the population older than
80 years old. The importance of early diagnosis of atrial fibrillation has been broadly …

Introduction: Prolonged cardiac monitoring (PCM) substantially improves the detection of
subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) among patients with history of ischemic stroke (IS), leading …

The role of subclinical atrial fibrillation as a cause of cryptogenic stroke is unambiguously
established. Long-term electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring remains the sole method for …
