5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Randomized clinical trial comparing two monitoring strategies, the use of a 48-hour Holter (routine care branch) and an event recorder for 7 days (intervention branch).
Patients admitted for cryptogenic stroke will be included. Enrollment and randomization of patients will be carried out during the index case hospitalization, while follow-up will be done on an outpatient basis until day 7.
Detailed Description
Once the diagnose of cryptogenic stroke have been carried out, informed consent will be taken and participants will be randomized to 48-hour monitoring arm or 7-day monitoring arm, followed by discharge from hospital.
