Description
Alexander Veltkamp and co-authors report a 2026 conference review on heart rhythm checks after a brief stroke warning event. A hidden rhythm fault can cause such events and raise stroke risk, so finding it matters. The best way and length of checking, though, have stayed unclear.
The review pooled forty-two studies with close to four thousand patients. About one in fifteen patients had the rhythm fault found. Longer checks found more cases, rising from a few percent at one day to near one in five at one year. Devices placed under the skin found far more cases than surface checks. The authors call for trials that compare check methods on patient outcomes.
