Early versus delayed insertable cardiac monitor implantation after ESUS stroke and the yield of atrial fibrillation detection: A systematic review and meta-analysis
These findings suggest that earlier ICM implantation enhances AF detection after ESUS or cryptogenic stroke and shortens diagnostic delay. Optimizing timing of post-stroke monitoring may improve patient selection for anticoagulation and reduce recurrent stroke risk.CRD 420251064227.
