Detecting Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With an Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (From the DAF-ESUS Registry)

Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de la Fundación Jiménez Díaz380 enrolled

Overview

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.
