Abstract
Intermittent atrial fibrillation may cause stroke, and acute stroke may lead to secondary bursts of atrial fibrillation. We studied with continuous ECG before, during and after stroke a patient with a history of intermittent atrial fibrillation. To our knowledge, this is the first case with continuous monitoring of atrial fibrillation bursts and their precise timing in the peristroke period.
