Introduction: Cryptogenic strokes account for one third of all strokes. Atrial fibrillation has been described as a leading cause in this population but occurrence atrial and imaging charecteristics amongst recurrent have not characterized well. Methods: We reviewed electronic medical charts cohort cryptogenic patients from February 2014 to September 2017 who underwent REVEAL LINQ insertable cardiac monitor. All met ESUS( Embolic Stroke Unknown Source) criteria prior implantation were enrolled the clinic with structured remote follow-up. newly diagnosed was confirmed by electrophysiologists vascular neurologist after reviewing presentation, record brain studies. Results: detected 108 out total 429 ( 25%) . Time detection average 79.8 days range 13-430 patient started on anticoagulation.
