The Importance of Timing in Performing a Holter ECG in Patients Diagnosed with an Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source by Dia Alwilly, Saher Srour, Irina Nordkin, Asaf Honig, Karine Beiruti Wiegler, Ronen R. Leker, Naaem Simaan

“…<b>Background/Objectives</b>: Previously undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (PUAF) is a significant cause of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). This study aimed to determine whether early heart rhythm monitoring with a Holter ECG after acute stroke enhances the detection of PUAF compared to standard ambulatory monitoring in ESUS patients, assuming that early cardiac monitoring would lead to a higher detection rate of PUAF. …”
