Identifying Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) post ischaemic stroke or TIA can be challenging. Guidelines recommend that patients with possible thromboembolic stroke have ECG monitoring conducted for a minimum of 72 hours typically using a Holter monitor fitted in hospital/ outpatient clinic. An alternative clinical service pathway was proposed using 2 consecutive single use 7-day ECG monitors (Bardy DXTM) that could be applied by stroke nurses. This study aimed to determine the effects of a potential new pathway for diagnostic monitoring for PAF in a population who have survived a stroke or TIA.
