Cryptogenic stroke as a working diagnosis: the need for an early and comprehensive diagnostic work-up

In the Nordic Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke (NOR-FIB) study, the causes of ischemic stroke were identified in 43% of cryptogenic stroke patients monitored with implantable cardiac monitor (ICM), but one-third of these patients had non-cardioembolic causes. These results suggest the need for an earl...

These results suggest the need for an early and comprehensive diagnostic work-up before inserting an ICM.
