The aim of the study is to show that an ambulatory ECG telemetry monitoring of some patients hospitalized for cerebral infarction increases the frequency of the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, cause of their stroke, and reinforces the protection against recurrences.

ECG telemetry (holter ECG) is a portable case - attached to the belt or around the neck - connected to 6 electrodes placed on the skin next to the heart. They are worn by patients during their stay in hospital

Percentage of patients on anticoagulation at the end of hospitalisation
Time frame: 6 months
Evaluate the benefit on the recurrence rate of cerebral infarction after the exit of the service
Percentage of IC recurrence in the department and within 3 months of the IC diagnosis
Time frame: 3 months
