Abstract
PAF was detected with high prevalence following early postcryptogenic stroke ILR implantation and resulted in significant management changes. Older age, increased PR interval, LA enlargement, and lower HbA1c are significantly associated with PAF detection. Controlling for age, obesity is an independent risk factor. A larger prospective study is warranted to confirm these findings.
