About

Retrospective study, single-center, on 171 patients, presented a cryptogenic TIA and Minor stroke.

This study objective is to determine profitability of Holter 21 days for screening paroxystic ACFA / flutter in cryptogenic TIA/Minor stroke, and identify the predictive factors of discovery a paroxystic ACFA on Holter 21 days. Clinical and échocardiographics factors, and brain imaging (scanner and MRI) will be analyzed.
