Implantable cardiac monitors compared with conventional methods for the detection of atrial high-rate episodes in individuals with embolic stroke of undetermined source

Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To compare the benefits, harm and the atrial high-rate episode (AHRE) detection rate of implantable cardiac monitors against conventional methods (such as electrocardiogram, ambulatory Holter monitors, event monitors and real-time telemetry) in participants with embolic stroke of unknown source.
