Smartwatch and External Holter Monitoring to Detect Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke

Sponsor: Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Stroke recurrence largely depends on the detection of the cause and the control of vascular risk factors, with occult atrial fibrillation (AF) being one of the most important. Prolonged ambulatory cardiac monitoring is recommended for detecting occult AF. Currently, there are non-invasive monitoring devices such as the textile Holter that have proven to be useful for monitoring for up to 30 days but not longer. Another alternative is smartwatches, although they must be validated for use in the elderly population who have had a stroke.
