Predictors of Occult Atrial Fibrillation in One Hundred Seventy-One Patients with Cryptogenic Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Stroke

Occult PAF was more commonly diagnosed in older patients with premature atrial complex on the baseline electrocardiogram, left ventricular hypertrophy on echocardiography, and with previous white matter lesions on brain MRI.
