Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is known to be a strong risk factor for stroke. However, the risk of stroke recurrence in patients with cryptogenic stroke with AF detected after stroke by an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) is not well known.

Cryptogenic Stroke and Underlying Atrial Fibrillation
Current guidelines recommend at least 24 hours of electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring after an ischemic stroke to rule out atrial fibrillation. However, the most effective duration and type of monitoring have not been established, and the cause of ischemic stroke remains uncertain despite a complete diagnostic evaluation in 20 to 40% of cases ...

Etiology of Cryptogenic Stroke
Ischemic stroke is a heterogeneous syndrome with a plurality of potential etiological factors. The routine diagnosis does not always allow the cause of acute cerebrovascular accident to be found, in such cases we talk about cryptogenic ischemic stroke ...

Introduction: The role of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in cryptogenic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) with normal transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) remains controversial in the absence of definite guidelines. We aimed to perform a

WATCH AFib: smartwatches for detection of atrial fibrillation in secondary prevention of cryptogenic stroke—protocol for a prospective, intraindividual-controlled, multicentre clinical study [PDF]
RationaleDetection of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and subsequent anticoagulation therapy reduce the risk of recurrent stroke, while prolonged rhythm monitoring significantly increases AFib detection.

Transcatheter PFO closure for cryptogenic stroke: current approaches and future considerations [PDF]
Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a common congenital atrial septal defect present in 20%–35% of the general population. Although generally considered a benign anatomic variant, a PFO may facilitate passage of a thrombus from the venous to arterial ...
