Global Results of Implantable Loop Recorder for Detection of Atrial Fibrillation After Stroke: Reveal LINQ Registry

The rate of AF detection was similar to other studies in stroke populations monitored by implantable loop recorders, including CRYSTAL-AF (Cryptogenic Stroke and Underlying Atrial Fibrillation), STROKE-AF (Stroke of Unknown Cause and Underlying Atrial Fibrillation) and PER-DIEM (Post-Embolic Rhythm Detection With Implantable Versus External Monitoring). Patients with detected AF more commonly initiated anticoagulation than those without AF.
