The incidence of AF is significantly higher amongst embolic stroke of undetermined source vs. non-embolic stroke of undetermined source patients monitored constantly by an implantable loop recorder. A high number of embolic stroke of undetermined source survivors have short-duration AF episodes. Further work is needed to determine the optimal treatment strategy of these AF episodes in embolic stroke of undetermined source.
