Mortality and serious morbidity associated with syncope are generally low overall but o...
متن کاملCryptogenic Stroke And Role Of Loop Recorder.
Ischemic stroke is an important cause of morbidity and mortality when untreated. Identifying atrial fibrillation is important because atrial fibrillation ischemic related strokes are associated with an increased risk of disability and death compared with strokes of other etiologies and tend to recur without anticoagulation. However, atrial fibrillation detection can be difficult when it is asym...
