About this trial

This study investigates patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) who have received an Implantable Cardiac Monitor (ICM). The main purpose is to evaluate the predictive value of an Artificial Intelligence ECG analysis tool, named SmartECG-AF.

Participants will be classified into two groups based on the AI analysis: a "High Risk" group and a "Low to Intermediate Risk" (control) group. The study aims to compare the incidence rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) events over time between these two groups. Additionally, the study will analyze the relationship between the AI-predicted risk levels and the occurrence of major cardiovascular events during the follow-up period.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients aged 30 years or older.

Patients diagnosed with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) who have undergone or are scheduled for Implantable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) implantation.

Patients who have undergone at least one 12-lead ECG examination within 2 weeks before or after the date of ICM implantation.

Patients maintaining Sinus Rhythm on ECG at the time of enrollment.

Disqualifiers

Patients diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) at least once prior to the date of enrollment.

Patients whose ICM battery status is at Elective Replacement Interval (ERI), making recording impossible.

Patients whose ECGs cannot be analyzed by the AI algorithm (SmartECG-AF) due to severe artifacts or noise, or are incompatible with digital analysis.

Trial population

Patients diagnosed with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) aged 30 years or older who have received or are scheduled to receive an Implantable Cardiac Monitor (ICM). Participants are recruited from five tertiary referral hospitals in South Korea (Inha University Hospital, Jeju National University Hospital, Korea University Guro Hospital, Korea University Ansan Hospital, and Ajou University Hospital).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation (Time-to-Event)

Comparison of the cumulative incidence rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) events between the High Risk group and the Low to Intermediate Risk group (classified by SmartECG-AF). AF occurrence is confirmed by reviewing data recorded on the Implantable Cardiac Monitor (ICM).

Time frame
Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Incidence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)

Evaluation of the composite rate of major clinical events including recurrent stroke, hospitalization for heart failure, myocardial infarction, and all-cause death (cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular). The study will analyze the correlation between the occurrence of these events and the AI-predicted risk levels.

Time frame
Up to 12 months
