Frequent Atrial Premature Beats Predict Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Stroke Patients
Stroke 38:2292-2294, Wallmann,D.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In patients with acute ischemic stroke, frequent APBs (=70/24 hours) are a marker for individuals who are at greater risk to develop or have paroxysmal AF. For such patients, we propose a diagnostic workup with repeated prolonged ECG monitoring to diagnose paroxysmal AF.
