Abstract

BACKGROUND: The recurrence rate of strokes associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) can be substantially reduced through the administration of oral anticoagulants. However, previous studies have not demonstrated a clear benefit from the universal application of oral anticoagulants in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source. Timely detection of AF remains a challenge in patients with stroke.
