Evaluation of Ambulatory ECG Telemetry for the Early Detection of Atrial Fibrillation During Hospital Assessment of Cerebral Infarction

Evaluation of Ambulatory ECG Telemetry for the Early Detection of Atrial Fibrillation During Hospital Assessment of Cerebral Infarction

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients over 18 years old
• Diagnosis of transient ischemic or cerebral accident
• Absence of etiological orientation after the initial assessment (including at least cerebral MRI, angiography of the supra aortic trunks by CT or MRI, echocardiography with search for patent foramen ovale, standard biology)
• Affiliated to a social security system.
• Having given no opposition to participation in research

Exclusion Criteria:

• AF known or diagnosed during stay in USINV
