This session offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the significance of detecting and treating atrial fibrillation (AF) in ischemic stroke patients while exploring strategies for developing patient care pathways that involve collaboration across neurology and electrophysiology (EP). Attendees gain insights into the evidence supporting long-term monitoring using an insertable cardiac monitor, an economic value proposition, and important factors to consider when selecting the appropriate device for stroke patients.
