Nonsustained Atrial Fibrillation in Ischemic Stroke Patients and Stroke-Free Controls From the Perspective of Stroke Pathophysiology.

The borderline significance between ischemic stroke and control groups regarding a new diagnosis of ≥30‐s‐long AF episodes on Holter monitoring is probably a reflection of the fact that various tools such as ECG or inpatient rhythm monitoring capture new AF episodes in many stroke patients and thereby lead to an inevitable drop in the yield of Holter monitoring among ischemic stroke patients in this regard.
