TL;DR: Electrocardiographic monitoring with an ICM was superior to conventional follow-up for detecting atrial fibrillation after cryptogenic stroke in patients with cryptogenic Stroke.

TL;DR: The aCRT algorithm is safe and at least as effective as BiV pacing with comprehensive echocardiographic optimization and did not result in inappropriate device settings.

TL;DR: Increasing age and a prolonged PR interval at enrollment were independently associated with an increased AF incidence in CS patients, however, they offered only moderate predictive ability in determining which CS patients had AF detected by the ICM.

TL;DR: BAT was safe and significantly improved QOL, 6MHW, and NT-proBNP and the major adverse neurological or cardiovascular system or procedure-related event rate (MANCE).

TL;DR: Acute brain infarction topography does not reliably predict or exclude detection of underlying AF in patients with CS and should not be used to select patients for ICM after cryptogenic stroke, although patients with coexisting chronic, as well as acute,brain infarcts had a higher rate of AF detection.
