Article Synopsis
- * Out of 55 patients, those with critical ECG patterns experienced a much higher rate of VT (43.8% vs. 2.6%) and in-hospital death (25.0% vs. 5.1%), highlighting the serious nature of these ECG presentations.
- * Critical ECG types and an extended QRS width (≥105 ms) were identified as independent risk factors for both VT and poor overall prognosis, emphasizing the importance of monitoring these electrical patterns in
Background: Previous studies show that using 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or 24-h ECG monitor for the detection of cardiac arrhythmia events in patients with stroke or syncope is ineffective.
Hypothesis: The 14-day continuous ECG patch has higher detection rates of arrhythmias compared with conventional 24-h ECG monitoring in patients with ischemic stroke or syncope.
Methods: This cross-sectional study of patients with newly diagnosed ischemic stroke or syncope received a 24-h ECG monitoring and 14-day continuous cardiac monitoring patch and the arrhythmia events were measured.
