Academic and Community Hospitals differ in stroke subtype classification and cardiac monitoring: the DiVERT multi-center cohort study
Significant heterogeneity in cardiac monitoring post-stroke exists: CoH reported 2.5-times more cryptogenic stroke than AcC yet ordered 10-times fewer short/long-term cardiac monitors to look for AF. Significant differences in patient demographics among institutions may account for this discrepancy. Regardless, efforts to reduce heterogeneity are warranted to improve AF detection and treatment and prevent recurrent stroke.
