What are the cardiac monitoring methods used for detection of atrial fibrillation after TIA?
Various cardiac monitoring methods have been used for detection of atrial fibrillation after TIA, such as transesophageal echocardiography, left atrial spontaneous echo contrast, and echocardiography. These methods have been used to assess thromboembolic risk in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. These methods have been found to be useful in determining the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and have been used to identify patients at high risk of stroke in order to initiate anticoagulant therapy.
