Neurovascular-Nuggets (12) 🎁the key points from the article: - The study compared risk of recurrent stroke and outcomes between ECG-detected and prolonged cardiac monitoring (PCM)-detected atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with ischemic stroke/TIA. - ECG-detected AF was associated with a 5-fold higher risk of recurrent ischemic stroke compared to PCM-detected AF, even after adjusting for anticoagulation use and other factors. - PCM-detected AF had lower cardiovascular risk profiles, better cardiac parameters, and lower stroke recurrence rates compared to ECG-detected AF. - PCM-detected AF burden was low, with median 5 hours duration and 2.23% burden over 14 days. Higher burden AF (>24 hrs) occurred in 29% of PCM-detec ...
