Official Title: Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation and Brief Runs of Premature Atrial Complexes in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Historical Cohort Study

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to estimate the clinical relevance of monitoring patients with acute ischemic stroke with 48 hours' inpatient cardiac telemetry in relation to evaluate the presence of brief runs of premature atrial complexes and new diagnosed atrial fibrillation. Furthermore to evaluate the prognostic significance of brief runs of premature atrial complexes in relation to develop atrial fibrillation, recurrent stroke/transient ischemic attack and death.
