In order to facilitate the additional workload involved in ECG<\/jats:styled-content> analysis due to prolonged monitoring times, we investigated the effectiveness of pAF<\/jats:styled-content> detection with an automated software algorithm (SA<\/jats:styled-content>) in comparison to the routine staff\u2010based analysis (RA<\/jats:styled-content>) during standard stroke\u2010unit care. Therefore, patients with acute ischaemic stroke or transitory ischaemic attack presenting with sinus rhythmus on the admission ECG and no history of atrial fibrillation were prospectively included.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>A 24\u2010h Holter ECG assessment was performed using either RA<\/jats:styled-content> based on a computer\u2010aided evaluation and subsequent review by a cardiologist or a commercially available automated SA<\/jats:styled-content>. In the case of discordant results concerning the occurrence of pAF<\/jats:styled-content> between the two methods, the data underwent an independent external rating.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Of 809 prospectively enrolled patients, 580 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. pAF<\/jats:styled-content> was ultimately diagnosed in 3.3% of the cohort (19 patients). SA<\/jats:styled-content> and RA<\/jats:styled-content> correctly diagnosed pAF<\/jats:styled-content> in 17 patients resulting in a comparable diagnostic effectiveness of the analysis methods (sensitivity: SA<\/jats:styled-content> 89.5% vs. RA<\/jats:styled-content> 89.5%; specificity: SA<\/jats:styled-content> 99.3% vs. RA<\/jats:styled-content> 99.1%; \u03ba, 0.686; P<\/jats:italic> < 0.001; 95% confidence interval, 0.525\u20130.847). RA<\/jats:styled-content> revealed clinically relevant ECG<\/jats:styled-content> abnormalities in an additional seven patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>Although it should not completely replace RA<\/jats:styled-content>, SA<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010based evaluation of Holter ECG reaches a high diagnostic effectiveness for the detection of pAF<\/jats:styled-content> and
