The Detection of Atrial Fibrillation by Implantable Event Recorders: A Study of Patients Who Have Had a Cryptogenic Stroke.

Risk-Adapted Atrial Fibrillation Monitoring after Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source: A Population-Based Study

Findings support a risk-adapted approach to cardiac rhythm monitoring after ESUS, with patients with ESUS at markedly different risks of AFDAS identified as part of a risk-adapted diagnostic pathway for cardiac rhythm monitoring.

Identifying patients at low risk for atrial fibrillation after cryptogenic stroke: the PAVA score

A PAVA score ≤ 2 demonstrates a high negative predictive value for AF/AT on ILR after cryptogenic stroke, offering a practical tool to optimize patient prioritization for ILR implantation.

Characterization of Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated Inadequately with Anticoagulants: Why Hospitalization Is Not an Opportunity to Correct Errors.

Device-Detected Atrial Fibrillation After ARTESiA and NOAH-AFNET 6: From Episode Burden to Net Clinical Benefit.

A narrative review distinguishes randomized evidence, formal guideline recommendations, the 2026 American College of Cardiology Scientific Statement, and the authors' proposed framework, integrating diagnostic certainty, device source, episode characteristics and trajectory, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack, v...

Beyond stroke: atrial fibrillation and the broader burden of thromboembolic events in the population-based EpiHealth study.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the distribution and risk of thromboembolic events (TEs) among adults with and without atrial fibrillation (AF), and to assess oral anticoagulant (OAC) use over time. DESIGN This population-based longitudinal cohort study included EpiHealth participants recruited between April 2011 and Decem...

Ischaemic stroke in atrial flutter vs fibrillation: a Finnish nationwide study.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previous literature has suggested that the risk of ischaemic stroke (IS) is lower in patients with atrial flutter (AFL) compared with patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but large-scale studies with electrocardiogram (ECG) documentation are not available. METHODS The registry-linkage Finnish A...
