Muscle pathology in the neuroleptic malignant syndrome.

abstract：:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a strong risk factor for first-ever stroke and stroke recurrence. The detection rate is low and detection is often costly and time-consuming. We evaluated the diagnostic yield of an external loop recorder (ELR) in patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA, and assessed factors that are ass...
