Özet

Background-Short-lasting (<30 s), nonsustained episodes of atrial fibrillation (NS-AF) are considered a risk factor for future development of paroxysmal or persistent AF. Nonetheless, their causal role in stroke pathogenesis is currently unknown. In this study we determined the frequency of NS-AF, together with the associated clinical and imaging features, in stroke-free controls and ischemic stroke patients.
