72 hour Holter monitoring, 7 day Holter monitoring, and 30 day intermittent patient-activated heart rhythm recording in detecting arrhythmias in cryptogenic stroke patients free from arrhythmia in a screening 24 h Holter

Abstract

7 day Holter performs better than 72 h and reveals supraventricular arrhythmias in every third and AF in 10% of CIS patients who were free from arrhythmia in 24 h ECG monitoring. 30 day intermittent ECG monitor does not yield diagnostic value in CIS.
