Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Adults, 18 years and above, cryptogenic stroke < 3 months evaluated for a possible cardiac embolic source and not previously diagnosed with atrial fibrillation at the time of inclusion. Cryptogenic stroke is defined as; 1) an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) that is not lacunar, 2) absence of extracranial or intracranial atherosclerosis causing luminal stenosis, 3) no definite source of cardioembolism and 4) No other specific cause of stroke identified (e.g. arteritis, dissection, migraine/vasospasm, drug abuse)

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of a 30-day PPG based smartphone AF detection algorithm in cryptogenic stroke patients and compare it to the standard of care using a 3-day Holter measurement | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The following parameters will be collected to complete data analysis. - Demographic characteristics: age, sex, cardiovascular risk factors - Baseline NIHSS-score - Type of reperfusion therapy - CHADSVASC score - Stroke characteristics (e.g. stroke localisation, TIA or ischemic stroke) - Diagnosis and duration of PAF - The use of antiplatelets or anticoagulants | — |
