Factors associated with increased atrial fibrillation detection in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source
In patients with ESUS, the rate of AF detection using a surface 14-day cardiac monitor was low. However, the likelihood of detecting AF was higher among patients with enlarged left atrial dimension and mitral valve regurgitation, suggesting this group may benefit most from an initial short-term monitoring strategy.
