Serial Electrocardiographic Assessments Significantly Improve Detection of Atrial Fibrillation 2.6-Fold in Patients With Acute Stroke
Stroke 39:480-482, Douen,A.G.,et al, 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
Serial ECG assessments within the first 72 hours of an acute stroke significantly improve detection of AF. The discordance regarding the corroboration of AF by Holter in ECG-positive patients with AF supports previous observations and suggests a high incidence of paroxysmal AF as a cause of ischemic stroke.
