Researchers have found that a small chip under the skin may help predict the likelihood of a second stroke
For patients who have experienced certain common types of strokes, small chips implanted under the skin can help doctors predict the likelihood of them having a stroke again, thereby predicting the likelihood that they will benefit from preventive treatment
Approximately 800,000 people in the United States have a stroke each year, and as many as a quarter of stroke patients have had a stroke before
Recent studies have shown that a small chip implanted under the skin can monitor heart rate and rhythm, and help doctors detect atrial fibrillation in patients who have experienced cryptogenic strokes
Known underlying causes of stroke and atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation stroke) trial, 492 patients were randomly assigned and completed a 12-month follow-up within 10 days of receiving an insertable heart monitor for their first stroke or conventional treatment Including external tracking methods through ECG or other heart monitoring
The chip detected atrial fibrillation in 12.

Added senior author Lee H.
Schwamm pointed out that out of every 8 patients monitored, clinicians can expect to find one atrial fibrillation in the first year
The next step is to determine the patient factors that predict the development of atrial fibrillation and the duration and extent of the arrhythmia
Schwam is a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and vice president of the virtual care program at Mass General Brigham in Massachusetts
