Article Synopsis
- * Results suggested that while ECG-AF had a lower risk of IS recurrence within the first year after the stroke, over the longer term, there was no significant difference compared to KAF.
- * Prolonged monitoring (AFDAS) consistently showed a lower risk for recurrent IS compared to KAF throughout the study, indicating potential advantages in identifying AF later on in terms of treatment outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac imaging plays a crucial role in identifying causes of ischemic strokes, but its usage is low in many stroke centers worldwide.
- Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is commonly used, particularly for spotting large vessel occlusions, and extending the CTA view has shown potential for detecting cardiac thrombi in stroke patients.
- The DAYLIGHT trial aims to compare the effectiveness of extended CTA versus standard CTA in detecting cardiac and aortic embolic sources in patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA, involving a sample of 830 patients.
