Detecting Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With an Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (From the DAF-ESUS Registry)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The presence of interatrial block (IAB) is associated with the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to determine whether P-wave duration and presence of IAB before the implantation of a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) are associated with the presence of atrial high rate episodes (AHRE), during long-term follow-up.
