•1\. Diagnosis of acute ischaemic stroke or confirmed transient ischaemic attack, within one week of symptom onset (participants are of any age and sex)
•2\. Brain imaging completed prior to enrolment is consistent with acute ischaemic damage and has excluded an alternative cause for symptoms
•3\. Sinus rhythm on screening ECG
•4\. Consent to participate from patient or approved proxy

•1\. Clinical decision or expressed refusal to consider long term anticoagulation at a future date if cardio\-embolism may be diagnosed
•2\. Pre\-morbid condition or concomitant disease that would render subsequent secondary prevention of stroke inappropriate
•3\. Documented atrial fibrillation in past
•4\. Known durable cardiac source of embolism (eg mitral stenosis) or left ventricular akinesia, that would represent an indication for anticoagulation
•5\. Existing treatment with long term anticoagulation
•6\. Unlikely to be available for completion of study procedures
