There is an almost 4-fold increase in nAF detection with continuous cardiac monitoring, compared to usual care. The results also demonstrate two statistically significant time periods in nAF detection; at 0-14 days and 6-12 months following monitoring commencement. These data support the utilisation of different monitoring methods to cover both time periods and a minimum of 1 year of monitoring to maximise nAF detection in patients after IS and TIA.
