Ultra-early continuous cardiac monitoring improves atrial fibrillation detection and prognosis of patients with cryptogenic stroke

Background and purpose: Subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) is known to underlie a number of cases of cryptogenic stroke (CrS). However, there is need to define the most effective strategy for AF detection. The diagnostic usefulness was analysed of a strategy based on ultra-early continuous monitor...

However, there is need to define the most effective strategy for AF detection. The diagnostic usefulness was analysed of a strategy based on ultra-early continuous monitoring in patients with CrS in terms of AF detection, oral anticoagulation treatment and stroke recurrence, in comparison to a standard outpatient strategy. Methods: Patients with ischaemic stroke of undetermined origin and confirmed to be cryptogenic after extensive work-up were searched for AF with (i) a conventional strategy (historical cohort, n = 101) with serial electrocardiograms and 24-h Holter monitoring or (ii) an ultra-early monitoring strategy with insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) implanted before discharge (prospective cohort, n = 90). AF episodes lasting >1 min, anticoagulant treatment and stroke recurrence were recorded. Results: During admission, AF was similarly detected in both cohorts (24% of patients). After discharge (mean follow-up 30 ± 10 months), AF detection rates were 17/80 (21.3%) and 38/65 (58.5%) for patients in the conventional versus the ultra-early ICM group (P < 0.001). Up to 41% of AF cases in the ICM cohort were detected within the first month. Oral anticoagulation was initiated in 37.6% versus 65.5% (P < 0.001) and stroke recurrence was recorded in 10.9% versus 3.3% (P 0.04) in the conventional versus the ICM cohort. Conclusions: Pre-discharge ICM implant allows detection of AF during follow-up in up to 58% of selected patients with CrS. Compared to a conventional strategy, ultra-early ICM implant results in higher anticoagulation rates and a decrease in stroke recurrence.Wiley20202010info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10230/43260http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/ene.14061reponame:Recercat.
