What percentage of stroke patients had ambulatory ECG monitoring in the 7 days and 12 months post-stroke?
In a systematic review and meta-analysis, Sposato described a much higher rate of AF detection after multi-phase sequential cardiac monitoring, at 23.7%. However, one recent analysis only found that 2.6% and 9.7% of stroke patients had ambulatory ECG monitoring in the 7 days and 12 months poststroke, respectively, leading to underdiagnosis.
