Long-Term ECG Monitoring for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Using an Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR) Following Atrial Flutter (AFL) Ablation in Patients at High Risk for ThromboembolismSuneet Mittal, MD, FHRS
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of ischemic stroke but may go undetected with short periods of ECG monitoring. The Cryptogenic Stroke and Underlying Atrial Fibrillation trial (CRYSTAL AF) demonstrated that long-term electrocardiographic monitoring with insertable cardiac monitors (...
Patients With Device-Detected Subclinical Atrial Fibrillation [ARTESiA; clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT01938248], Non–Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Patients With Atrial High Rate Episodes [NOAH; NCT02618577], and Atrial Fibrillation Detected by Continuous ECG Monitoring [LOOP; NCT02036450...
3 of them were treated due to atrial flutter. Survival There were no cases of intraoperative death. The in-hospital mortality rate was 1.8 %, while the 30-day mortality rate was 2.7 %. The one-year survival rate was 94 % for the entire patient population. There were no differences in ...
Of 363 total atrial arrhythmia recurrence events, 230 (63.4%) were identified by smartphone readings, 79 (21.8%) by clinical ECGs, 39 (10.7%) by ambulatory ECG monitoring, and 15 (4.1%) by repeat ablations. Main Secondary Outcome In the prespecified main secondary analysis, the Toronto ...
