Purpose: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with ischemic stroke, especially in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source. This study aims to evaluate the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in ischemic stroke patients with PFO.Methods: We systematically searched EMBASE and MEDLINE databases on May 21, 2020 for studies that analyzed the presence of AF in patients with PFO. The primary outcome was the presence of AF in patients with PFO compared with those without. Outcomes were pooled using a random-effects model using the method of DerSimonian and Laird. We recorded demographic characteristics and the methods used for AF detection in the studies included (unspecified, history/medical records review, ECG, Holter monitor, or loop recorder).Results: A total of 14 studies and 13,245 patients fulfilled the entry criteria. The average age was 61.2 years and 41.3% of the participants were female. There was a lower risk of AF in patients with PFO compared with those without (RR 0.52, 95% confidence interval, 0.41–0.63, p < 0.001). There was no evidence of heterogeneity. The lower risk of AF was found in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies and in studies stratified by average age (<60 or ≥60) and in cryptogenic stroke. Meta-regression by PFO detection technique suggested that studies using transoesophageal echocardiogram for PFO detection reported higher risk of AF (1.39, 95% confidence interval 1.14–1.70, p = 0.004).Conclusion: The presence of a PFO in patients with ischemic stroke/TIA may be associated with a lower risk of AF. Few studies have estimated the risk of future AF in patients with PFO.

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (Afib) detection in cryptogenic stroke is difficult but essential because it changes management. We describe a scoring system that discriminates between cryptogenic ischemic stroke patients with implantable loop recorder (ILR) that were and were not found to have Afib. Consecutive cryptogenic stroke cases from cardiology’s ILR registry for a 2-year period (7/2017-7/2019) were reviewed. We used standardized case report forms to perform chart abstraction. Cases were excluded if ILR was not placed after the index stroke event, stroke etiology workup was not available, or data was incomplete. Patients found to have Afib on ILR were compared to those without evidence of Afib on ILR. We devised a novel scoring system using variables associated with Afib detection and compared its ability to classify Afib detection against CHA2DS2-VASc and LADS. One hundred fifty-seven patients met inclusion criteria. Afib was detected in 12% of cases (9% at 6 months, 10% at 12 months). The median time from ILR placement to Afib detection was 110 days (IQR 37, 507). Median time from Afib detection to the start of anticoagulation was 3 days (IQR 0, 8). The PAL-CrISP score ranges 0 to 7: age (70=0, ≥70=4), history of antihypertensive medication (no=0, yes=2), PR interval (≤200msec=0, >200msec=1). Of those found to have Afib via ILR, 74% (14/19) had a PAL-CrISP score ≥ 6. PAL-CrISP performed better at predicting Afib detection in cryptogenic ischemic stroke patients with ILR (AUC 0.810, 95% CI 0.706-0.913) than CHA2DS2-VASc (AUC 0.650, 95% CI 0.525-0.774) and LADS (AUC 0.745, 95% CI 0.624-0.866). Using only age, home medication review, and an EKG, the novel PAL-CrISP score performs better at predicting Afib detection than the CHA2DS2-VASc and LADS scores in cryptogenic ischemic stroke patients with an ILR.
