Prevalence of clinically significant bradyarrhythmias in patients implanted with loop recorders for cryptogenic stroke: A manifestation of atrial cardiomyopathy?
Patients with CS show a significantly higher and earlier incidence of clinically relevant SND than matched controls, which may suggest an underlying atrial remodeling process consistent with atrial cardiomyopathy. These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive arrhythmic monitoring beyond AF in this population.
