Detection of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Recent Stroke or TIA: Validity of Automated Loop-recording (Rtest) Compared to Holter Recording and Predictive Value of Short Runs of Atrial Fibrillation and an Excess Supraventricular Extra Systoles for a New Stroke

The LOOP trial aims to clarify whether stroke can be prevented by monitoring the heart rhythm with a small device (called a loop recorder). The recorder is placed under the skin on the front of the chest, which allows monitoring of the heart rhythm 24-hours a day 7 days a week.
