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

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: 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 …

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

Background Atrial fibrillation is a leading cause of ischaemic stroke. Early detection of atrial
fibrillation can enable anticoagulant therapy to reduce ischaemic stroke and mortality. In this …

Background and aims Documentation of atrial fibrillation is required to initiate oral
anticoagulation therapy for recurrent stroke prevention. Atrial fibrillation often goes …

Objectives: The usefulness of the implantable loop recorder (ILR) with improved atrial
fibrillation (AF) detection capability (Reveal XT) and the factors associated with AF in the …

Background The long-term incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in cryptogenic stroke (CS)
patients has been explored in carefully controlled clinical trials but real-world data are …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine whether incorporation of a 2-part
artificial intelligence (AI) filter can improve the positive predictive value (PPV) of implantable …

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