Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Many ischemic strokes or transient ischemic attacks are labeled cryptogenic but may have undetected atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to identify those most likely to have subclinical AF. METHODS: We prospectively studied patients with cryptogenic stroke or transient ischem...
