This multicenter international prospective cohort study will include patients with AIS with a known or newly diagnosed anticoagulant-naïve AF. All centers will use the same transcranial Doppler machine for one-hour monitoring with bilateral 2-MHz probes within 24 hours of symptom onset. Recordings will be analyzed for MES by a blinded central reader. The primary aim is to determine the proportion of patients with MES and the association of MES with functional outcomes assessed by a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at 90 days.
