Abstract

Background: Atrial fibrillation is a significant cause of ischemic stroke. The 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) is a commonly used method for screening atrial fibrillation in post-stroke patients; however, this method has some limitations. Objective: To determine the incidence of newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation in post-stroke patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 30 post-stroke patients using extended ECG monitoring Octo Beat devices at Nguyen Trai Hospital. Results: The mean age of the participants was 62.7 ± 13.5 years. The mean monitoring time was 78 ± 34 hours. The atrial fibrillation detection rate was 10%, with 2 cases diagnosed after 24 hours. The total duration of atrial fibrillation was 18 minutes and 13 seconds (ranging from 11 minutes and 57 seconds to 697 minutes and 37 seconds). Conclusion: Extended ECG monitoring Octo Beat devices are more effective in detecting newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation in post-stroke patients than the traditional 24-hour Holter ECG method.
