Efficient Detection of Atrial Fibrillation
5-times more detection
Long-term continuous monitoring allows for 5 times more Atrial Fibrillation (AF) detection.

DETECT AF AFTER CRYPTOGENIC STROKE OR TIA
Identification of AF is key to secondary stroke prevention. However, paroxysmal AF can be difficult to detect with conventional 24 to 48-hour Holter monitoring and is likely underdiagnosed in patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Prolonged ECG monitoring significantly increases the detection of AF in these patients.
PROLONGED CONTINUOUS ECG MONITORING SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES AF DETECTION
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia with increasing prevalence over time. It is associated with an increased risk of stroke. In patients for whom paroxysmal AF (PAF) is suspected, longer monitoring periods will detect more PAF cases.
CardioSTAT provides up to 14 days of continuous ambulatory ECG monitoring.
“The vast majority of patients with cryptogenic stroke/TIA should be investigated with prolonged heart rhythm monitoring of at least a few weeks.”
CardioSTAT Efficacy compared to Holter Monitor for Same Duration
