| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Several studies have suggested that after ischemic stroke, continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring (CEM) increases the atrial fibrillation (AF) detection rate. However, optimal CEM terms of use are not clear. The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of CEM in detecting AF and define optimal terms of the use of CEM. METHODS: We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who were admitted to the stroke unit without AF on baseline ECG. We compared 2 strategies of AF detection: the first using CEM and the second with routine clinical practice (24-hour Holter ECG and additional ECGs). Adjusted odds ratios for the association between AF diagnosis and the use of CEM stratified by monitoring duration were calculated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Of the 1166 patients included, 220 (18.87%) had AF on baseline ECG and were excluded. Of the 946 remaining patients, 592 underwent CEM. The prevalence of AF using CEM was 12.50% compared 2.26% using the routine strategy. After adjustment (demographic data, vascular risk factors, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores), using CEM increased 5.29 fold the odds of finding AF (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.43-11.55) compared to the routine strategy. The adjusted odds ratio (9.82; 95% CI 3.01-32.07) was maximum for the first day of monitoring and decreased later. Beyond 5 days, CEM usefulness was not significantly higher than the routine strategy. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that in order to enhance the detection rate of AF, CEM could be generalized in the stroke unit. It must be started early in patients with acute stroke and prolonged over a minimum of 4 days. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
